It's the season of giving [1], and Oprah is doing her part to spread the cheer. While in Australia for a speaking tour, the TV host donated a pair of Louboutins to help raise money for Australian charity One Girl [2]'s Do It in a Dress initiative. The bidding ended Sunday with a final price of $12,067, the entirety of which will be donated to help provide school dresses for girls in Sierra Leone.

By the end of the week-long auction, 89 bids had been placed, and the price had skyrocketed from the opening price of approximately $363 USD (the bidding was all in Australian dollars). Read on for a look at the snazzy shoes.
