Mirror fashion writer Dinah Turner says: "With so much detail, frills and a busy print, it's best to keep hair and make-up simple or you risk overloading your look.

"Thankfully, Victoria's slicked her hair behind her ears and kept her make-up as natural as she can."

Victoria Beckham Auction Spice Girls Reunion Tour Costume For Charity



Victoria Beckham is auctioning off her glittering collection of outfits from the Spice Girls world tour in a bid to raise $2 million for charity. The style icon is putting all six of her Roberto Cavalli-designed costumes from the band's comeback tour earlier this year to raise funds for a children's charity, which is managed by her mom Jackie Adams.

The items being sold include a minidress covered in Swarovski crystals, thought to be worth $500,000, and the infamous gold corset and leggings the star wore, which are going under the hammer for $60,000.

A spokesman for Beckham says, "Victoria is putting together various ideas for the sale. She would consider offers from individuals - for the right price.

It's time for any high-rollers out there to get their checkbooks out."

The details of the charity auction have not been announced, but the former Spice Girl has reportedly flown the items to a safe storage facility in the U.K., according to Britain's OK! magazine.

Victoria Beckham turn down movie roles




Victoria Beckham denied reports that she is keen to became a big Hollywood movie for the simple fact that she is a terrible actress. The singer said she is using her friendships with Hollywood’s Celebrity couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to break into the industry, claiming she has been inundated with film roles and she turned them down.

I’m a terrible actress. Everyone thinks I’m only friends with Tom and Katie to be in a movie but it’s not true. I’ve turned down lots of roles.
- said Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham has insisted that she doesn't want to launch a movie career in the US.

The Spice Girl claimed that she will be turning down any offers that she receives after moving to the States with her family.

Beckham starred in Spice World with her fellow band members in 1997, but her performance was slated and she does not feel confident enough to do it again.

"I really wasn't that good," Victoria admitted. "I must be the only person in LA that doesn't want to be in films."

Victoria Beckham Promoted dVb at Harrods




Victoria Beckham was back home in London on Thursday (May 15) in order to promote dVd collection at the Harrods department store, while shop owners in the USA are furious over the fact that Victoria is not making appearances for her clothing line. Earlier that day Victoria made a stop at Radio 1 studios were she denied rumors that she may be expecting a baby

Speaking about her fashion line, the former Spice Girl told press: “I’m very proud of dVb, each collection gets stronger with every season and the label grows as I do.”

Meanwhile, shop owners back in the States are fuming over the fact that Victoria is unwilling to make appearances on her clothing's behalf in U.S. stores.

“It’s a huge slap in the face,” Kitson boutqiue owner Fraser Ross said. “Her people told us that we won’t be getting an in-store appearance because Victoria was angry about all the negative press she got here and things I said. So instead of trying to fix it, she’s just snubbing us at a time when the U.S. economy really needs a boost.”

VICTORIA BECKHAM



Biography

Victoria Caroline Adams was born April 17, 1974, in Hertfordshire, England. She has two siblings, brother Christian and sister Louise, and her parents, Jackie and Tony, ran a successful electrical wholesale business and were well-off by most standards.

As a child, Victoria was surprisingly lonely; other children often teased her because of her acne and she would even ask her father not to drop her off in front of school so as not to be seen in the family's Rolls-Royce.

Such a personality made her an unlikely candidate for pop stardom, but Victoria Beckham found herself in a band while in school. She studied at the Jason Theatre School as a child and moved on to the Laine Arts Theatre College, where she also dabbled in dance and modeling.

Although her original band never took off, her life was forever changed when she decided to answer an ad in The Stage that was looking for five women who could sing and dance to form a group.

Little did Victoria know that this ad would lead to a group called the Spice Girls, which would leave an indelible mark in music history.

Released in 1996, the Spice Girls' first single, "Wannabe," and their debut album, Spice, were smash hits in the U.S. and abroad. Victoria, along with her band mates Emma, Geri, and the two Mels, became instant household names, with success that changed the face of pop culture and gave new meaning to "girl power."

With hits like "2 Become 1" and "Spice Up Your Life," the Spice Girls went on to sell over 35 million albums and 25 million singles worldwide, igniting a worldwide phenomenon in the process.

But this mega success was relatively short-lived. Worldwide tours, millions of albums sold and a movie (Spiceworld) later, Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell decided to split from the Girls in May 1998, leaving a huge void in the group.

After the remaining foursome released Forever in 2000, which was met with lukewarm sales, the Spice Girls decided to split up and pursue solo projects. Taking some time off and falling in love in the process, Victoria "Posh Spice" Adams married soccer star David Beckham in July 1999, and together they have three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

Although Victoria Beckham claims that she has never read a book from cover to cover, she released an autobiography, titled Learning To Fly. In 2001, she released her first solo album, Victoria Beckham, which has spawned the singles "Not Such An Innocent Girl" (which, unfortunately, was clobbered on the charts by Kylie Minogue's comeback single) and "A Mind Of Its Own."

In 2004, Victoria Beckham designed a fashion line for Rock and Republic called "VB Rocks," which consisted mainly of jeans for the high-end market. Two years later she came out with "DVB Eyewear" and, that same year, she and husband David came out with his-and-hers fragrances, Intimately Beckham. In June 2007, Victoria launched her "dVb" denim collection.
