A GLITZY charity shop crammed with celebrities’ cast-offs, including Carey Mulligan’s Bafta gown, was launched by Zoe Ball, Beverley Knight and Annie Lennox yesterday.
The temporary second- hand store, billed as “Britain’s biggest charity pop-up shop,” includes one-offs donated by Beyoncé, Alexa Chung, Elle Macpherson, Dame Helen Mirren, Little Boots, Dame Shirley Bassey, Dame Vivienne Westwood, Anya Hindmarch, Stella McCartney and Christian Lacroix.
The Oxfam Curiosity Shop will take up residence in Selfridges’ flagship Oxford Street store in London from today until Thursday, May 20.
Several A-list items will be auctioned online alongside the event so fashionistas from around the world can bid for the pieces.
The auction includes Mulligan’s chic floor-length size 10 Vionnet dress, which she wore when picking up her best actress Bafta for her role in An Education.
The floral gown is up for grabs at www.oxfam.org.uk/curiosityshop, with bidding having started at just £50.
Mulligan said in a statement: “I’m honoured to be able to donate my Bafta dress to support Oxfam’s work helping women living in extreme poverty across the world.”
Various celebrities will put in appearances at the shop throughout the week.
Lennox helped Knight try on a pair of yellow snake print boots and donated a shimmering gold dress to the shop.
She said: “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved second hand clothes.”
Cash raised from the project will help Oxfam women’s projects around the world.
