Gwyneth Paltrow launched her Rumble in the Jumble charity fashion sale last night, and proved exactly why fashionistas will be flocking to East London this weekend to buy a piece of her enviable style.

The Iron Man actress looked chic in a fitted dove grey dress designed by Giles for Lee Cooper and knee-high black leather boots. As usual, the perfect finishing touch was her impeccable make-up, which was radiantly natural, with a slick of plum lipstick, topped off with that super-sleek blonde bob.

Paltrow has donated a number of pieces of her own clothing to the event, which will raise funds for children’s charity Kids Company. The sale not only features glamorous pieces from the actress, but from many of her celebrity friends, such as Jemima Khan, Trudie Styler, and Laura Bailey.

Bursting at the seams with designer pieces, the sale includes clothing from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Armani, Burberry, Cavalli, Chanel, Gucci, Harvey Nichols and Luella.

Kids Company’s Director, Camila Batmanghelidjh, commented, 'Many of the children who come to us arrive without adequate clothing, and it can be simple things like good quality shoes, jeans, a winter coat, or even basic necessities such as socks and underwear which help them to feel they are worth something, and that someone cares about them.'

She added, 'The sale will fund warm clothes to see these kids through the colder months... We are hugely grateful to Gwyneth Paltrow and all the event supporters for making these fundamental items available to our children.'

The three-day sale kicks off today, and will be open daily from 10am to 7pm, at The Boiler House, Truman Brewery, 152 Brick Lane, London E1 6RU.  Entry to the sale costs just £2.
