Sara Cox & Shaun Keaveny have joined a whole host of celebrities to get dressed by the kids for a fun new fundraising campaign shot by Rankin. Oxfam celebrity supporter, Shaun Keaveny said, “Being kitted out by Arthur and Wilfy was always going to be a daunting process, as they have an innate ability to embarrass me, which they did, beautifully. It was a great opportunity to have a laugh with the kids and put them in charge of getting dressed which they loved, all in a good cause. It looks like I’ll be going about my business in salopettes and a Hawaiin shirt on Dressed by the Kids Day.”

They were photographed on location at Rankin’s studio in London accompanied by their children who acted as stylists for the day – transforming their looks in a bid to transform lives in poverty.

Taking place on 29 April 2016, Oxfam’s Dressed by the Kids Day dares the nation to put the children in charge of their wardrobe. Mums, dads, aunts, uncles and grandparents are encouraged to get dressed by their kids in exchange for sponsorship.
