Spice Girl wannabe style queen struck an awkward pose
Victoria Beckham fancies herself as something of a style icon but it appears she is taking inspiration from an unlikely source.
The former Spice Girl has copied troubled singing diva Amy Winehouse’s exposed bra look in a photoshoot for trendy US designer Marc Jacobs.
But with her silicone enhanced chest bursting forth from the dress’ bodice, it made for a particularly vulgar take on the already decidedly common look.

The wannabe style queen struck an awkward pose – a cross between a teapot and a shop window mannequin – dressed in an outfit which looked much like a decorative toilet roll cover in the latest campaign for the trendy US designer.
As the former Spice Girl modelled her most bizarre look yet for the trendy US designer – full lace gown, and squiggly headpiece – complete with a heavy layer of fake tan for her supposed friend.
But with friends like these, she surely doesn’t need any enemies.
Victoria appears in the latest of a series of arty adverts for the popular designer’s fashion house Marc Jacobs, which was shot by celebrated fashion photographer Juergen Teller.
The former Spice Girl, has made no secret of her desperate desire to be a style icon, but judging by these pictures she’s come up considerably short.
Hoisted up like a shop window mannequin Posh was left inches off the floor, with her usually expressionless face typically devoid of expression.

Hopefully the photoshoot she took part in the other day at the Chateau Marmont hotel which go some way to repair the damage.
Today the mother of three, who has launched her own dVb fashion range, was seen shopping at trrendy mall The Grove in LA.
Last night husband David was presented with an award for receiving his 100th cap for representing England.

The raunchy stars gyrated energetically in leotards
It’s easy to see how Girls Aloud will get through 150 pairs of fishnets on their Tangled Up tour.
As the raunchy stars gyrated energetically in leotards and the sexy legwear on stage in band member Cheryl’s home town of Newcastle last night.
In the second of their two sell out nights at the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena, the girls donned high-cut Liza Bruce day-glo coloured leotards and nude fishnets in a raunchy look which revealed plenty of the girl’s increasingly slimline figures.

During their 34-date tour the chart-topping girl group will get through 15 tubes of mascara, 145 sets of fake eyelashes, 50 cans of hairspray, 250 fake nails, 150 pairs of fishnets.
And although it doesn’t look like their on intimate terms with them, they’ll also get through 2,000 chocolate bars, 3,500 packets of chewing gum and 6,000 cans of energy drink.
The sell-out Tangled Up! tour, is their fourth tour in the six years they’ve been together.
Hopefully, the raunchy performance was enough to take band member Nicola Roberts mind off of her recent love split from fiancé Carl Davies, an entrepreneur from Liverpool.

A source told The Mirror: “It’s all very upsetting for poor Nicola but she’d be the first to admit things haven’t been great between her and Carl for a while.
“Their relationship has always been feisty but recently the rows were explosive.
“There have been lots of tearful late-night phone calls and now she’s decided to call time on it all. The strain of touring has taken its toll and Nicola’s made up her mind it’s over.”
Nicola has always stated that her career with the Girls would always come first.
She has said: “Girls Aloud is my life. It’s all I’ve known so I could never leave the band for a man.”.

She recently told Hello! magazine: “I’d been looking forward to it [the tour] so much this year. I love everything about being on tour. It’s one of the few times that we have a proper routine.
“Usually every day’s different – we’re doing a photo shoot, or a TV appearance and your timings are all over the place.
“When we’re on tour, we get up at around midday, because we get to bed really late, then we’re on the tour bus for 1pm, we arrive at the venue – and somehow we manage to spend the next eight hours getting ready!”
Cheryl added: “There’s always something going on, people having a gossip or sharing a joke and it’s really homely.”.
Tied up: The girls Tangled Up! tour is their fourth in six years
Bikini clad Melanie Brown swills champagne
After months of working out and eating well, Melanie Brown finally gets a chance to indulge her vices on holiday in Miami.
Bikini-clad Mel B swilled champagne and chain-smoked on romantic holiday in Miami after keeping in shape for the Spice Girls tour and her recent photoshoot for Ultimo swimwear and lingerie.
Dressed in her trademark style of a leopard-print bikini with bulky gold earrings, Scary Spice happily chaffed rose champagne and smoked a packet of cigarettes during her day by the pool.

Despite being handed two glasses with their ice bucket of bubbly, an enthusiastic Mel appeared to drink the bottle while husband Stephen was content to just bake in the sun.
The couple appeared to be having time off parenting the singer’s two children Phoenix Chi, nine, and Angel Iris, 13 months, – whose father is Eddie Murphy – and Stephen’s daughter Giselle.
They are just weeks away from their first wedding anniversary on June 6th.
The 32-year-old’s holiday comes just a week after her swimwear shots for British firm Ultimo were unveiled.
The Leeds-born star was unveiled as the new face of Ultimo last month, replacing Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, and appears in ads for both the Scots firm’s lingerie and swimwear.
Taking the plunge: Mel B steps into the pool to cool off from the hot Miami sun
The singer admits she is in the best shape of her life due to her appearance on the U.S. talent show Dancing With The Stars and the subsequent Spice Girls tour.
Last month, Mel said: “I am over the moon to become the face and body of Ultimo lingerie. When (CEO) Michelle Mone asked me, I was ecstatic. I was so excited, but slightly nervous? I had never modelled lingerie before.
“The photoshoot in LA was fantastic. Ultimo lingerie gives you a superb shape and is so comfortable with sexy styles in every collection. I took every set home with me.”
Mel is taken a much needed holiday in Miami after a busy 12 months.
As well as starring on Dancing With The Stars and reuniting with the Spice Girls, Mel has also returned to the studio to record her third solo album and married producer Stephen in Las Vegas.

The perfectly groomed girls Charlotte Mears and Bianca Gascoigne
Charlotte Mears and Bianca Gascoigne have decided to ditch the footballer boyfriends teaming up for a girls only break in the footballer’s favourite resort Marbella.
The two women frolicked on the beach, with Bianca, 21, even treating onlookers to an impromptu pole-dancing session.
And amazingly, their seaside adventure was captured in all its glory by a conveniently located photographer.
The perfectly groomed girls clearly had no problem being spotted by the cameras, who appeared to hang around for quite some time to catch their adventures on film.

Following her intense training for Celebrity Gladiators, Bianca Gascoigne shows off her stunning new shape with fellow model Charlotte Mears in Marbella.
Help at hand: Bianca rubs some essential suntan oil on her friend Charlotte
It was her bikini-clad appearances on show Love Island which first brought curvy Bianca Gascoigne to the attention of the public.
And clearly her love of the skimpy outfit hasn’t waned as she wore a carousel of colourful two-pieces, and a toned figure, fresh from her stint on Celebrity Gladiators.
Following her intense training for celebrity version of the show which recently returned to television on Sky One, Bianca proudly showed off her newly honed shape in a bubblegum pink number, and black boho embroidered number.
While Charlotte, 22, wore a yellow and white striped number and a flamenco red frilly two-piece.
Beach babes: Bianca and Charlotte’s bikinis were made for beach-walking
Bianca previously spoke about her curvy figure, professing to be unhappy with it. She told OK: “My feet are too big, my thighs wobble and my bum isn’t toned. I wouldn’t be happy unless I looked like Angelina Jolie.”
She has since worked hard on toning her figure, and on her 21st birthday she had breast implants to increase her bust size to a 34DD.
Charlotte has a smile on her face following her traumatic break-up with Portsmouth striker Jermain Defoe.
Jermain, 25, broke their engagement off in November and moved straight onto model Danielle Lloyd.

Surf’s up: Charlotte has clearly recovered from her painful break up from Portsmouth footballer Jermaine Defoe.

Charlotte admitted she was so devastated she needed therapy to recover and is investing in £4,000 worth of new boobs.
She said: ‘I didn’t want them to be much bigger, just fuller, so I went from a 32C to a 32D. They’re a better shape now and I definitely feel sexier because of them.’
Bianca, who was born in 1987, was five when her mother Sheryl met England footballer, Gascoigne. She was 10-years-old when they married. She has one brother, Mason, and half brother, Regan, whose is Paul Gascoigne’s son.
She spoke out recently about Gazza’s well-documented troubles saying the family were “powerless” to help him recover from alcoholism and depression.
Last year she wept after being given a 17-month driving ban for drink-driving after she crashed her new £35,000 Mercedes while drunk and admitted to being almost twice the legal limit.

Vivian Burkhardt in a bikini for catwalk show
Looking heavenly in shimmering angel wings and a diamante bikini, this was Lewis Hamilton’s new girlfriend yesterday.
Vivian Burkhardt took to the catwalk at a fashion show in her home country of Grenada, modelling a selection of spectacular outfits.

The 22-year-old beauty is already a local celebrity, having been crowned Miss Grenada World last year – and subsequently getting to the semi-finals of Miss World.
Formula One star Hamilton stepped out publicly with her for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday.
But, according to her mother Valerie, she returned home this week so as not to be a distraction to the 23-year-old driver as he prepares for Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix.
Miss Grenada World: Vivian won the title last year
She said the couple write to one another every week.
“Lewis seems like a nice man and I trust Vivian to make the right decision,” she added. “She is very careful about who she dates and we support her fully.
“It’s too soon to be talking about wedding bells. They are taking things slowly but surely. She is not after his fame – she is a good, honest girl.
“They both respect each other and the work that they do.”
She said her daughter has had only one other boyfriend, with whom she split 18 months ago.
Bikini babe: Lewis Hamilton met Vivian in Grenada in February
Vivian met Hamilton in Grenada in February, when he asked her out for a meal – then he invited her to Cannes.
“She took the invite very seriously,” said her mother. “She knew what it would be like being seen together in public and discussed this with Lewis.
“She also consulted friends and family so we were all prepared. Lewis seems very keen, but this was still only their second date.”
Vivian, who is studying for a natural science degree in Grenada, plans to meet Hamilton in London in June.
And in Monaco yesterday, without her distracting presence, he turned in the fastest lap while practising for Sunday’s race.
Hamilton – Britain’s highest-paid sportsman, with a £75million basic salary alone from McLaren Mercedes over the next five years – split from his previous girlfriend Jodia Ma last June.
