Victoria Beckham has achieved what many singers, actresses and models all desire. She’s created a successful fashion range, which is taken seriously by the style world.
Unlike many stars which have ventured into this industry hoping their name is enough to sell their ranges, Victoria has grafted hard to achieve her status as a respected designer, showing at New York fashion week and creating ranges we all want.
She’s also become a “must have” label for stars to be seen in on the red carpet. Last year Cheryl Cole showed her old pal some serious style satisfaction wearing a light pink creation on the Pride of Britain Awards red carpet.
However, she’s not the only one with the range grabbing the attention of Gisele Bundchen, Kate Winslet and most recently Michelle Williams who wore a short patterned number for the 2012 Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon.
See the gallery below for our top five celebrities wearing VB’s designs on the red carpet.

We touched briefly on slicked back hair yesterday during our top SS 2012 classic styles. But we thought this 80s throw back deserved a post all of its own.
Taking inspiration from the era of pop and punk, this trend already showcased by the likes of Emma Watson and Pixie Geldof, has made catwalk head ways for the spring/Summer season.
If you’re a gal who likes to keep her barnet long and down then take lead from Rebecca Taylor, Victoria Beckham and BCBG which showed off loose slicked back locks, while updos and styles for shorter hair were key at Ralph Lauren and Ruffian.
We’re off to buy that all important hair gel now.
See the gallery below for the hot looks of SS 2012.

You may not feel it, but spring is most definitely on its way, at least on the highstreet anyway. This season there’s a huge range of styles to choose from and we can’t wait until the frost thaws and rain goes, so we can begin to channel these looks.
The first trend we can’t wait to get into is the 20s flapper look, which has been given a summer make over. Gone are the feathers seen in AW 2011 and in come the sequins, drop waisted dresses and light fabrics, which really emulate this era.
If you’re a girly girl then the cute and sweet Sugar Doll look is also a must-have trend. Florals and girly colours fashioned into lace and simple cut frocks make up this style for the SS 2012 and was hot on the Louis Vuitton catwalk, while pastels also compliment this trend.
Those who like to show their casual side will also love the glam sports trend. Shown by Victoria Beckham, amongst others, this smart take on the sporty look – think sleek trackies, metallic vests and cute trainers – is great for those chilling out days.
See the gallery below for our top five trends.

The baby boom is well and truly here.
Last year a huge amount of celebrities, namely Victoria Beckham and Natalie Portman, gave birth.
However, over the weekend a new yummy mummy joined the baby crew and that’s of course Beyonce who gave birth to a little girl Ivy Blue Carter.
We’ve therefore decided to revise our list of celebrity mums and draw up a new top five.
Victoria Beckham makes the list for her style throughout her pregnancy and after the birth, while Natalie Portman also makes the grade as a result of her fab maternity wear.
See the gallery below for the top five celebrity yummy mummies.

Victoria Beckham has become a huge style icon over the past few years thanks to her fashion sense and design talents so who better than the lady herself to give us some inspiration for that perfect party dress.
Throughout 2011 the singer turned designer has wowed with some stunning syles, which have rapidly been copied on the highstreet. For a smart black tie New Year’s Eve party why not go for a long black dress similar to the one worn by Posh at the British Fashion Awards or play it down with a shorter rouched number.
If black isn’t your thing then take a leaf out of Ms Beckham’s colour book and go for red or a more subtle nude for that perfect party look.
See the gallery below for all the Victoria Beckham party inspiration.

Victoria Beckham at the British Fashion Awards at The Savoy in London - 28 November 2011
David and Victoria Beckham are considering leaving Los Angeles.
The soccer star is in talks with French club Paris Saint-Germain and a number of UK teams and rather than Victoria and their four children Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six, and four-month-old daughter Harper remaining in Los Angeles while he plays in Europe, the entire family may relocate with the couple already lining up possible schools for the boys.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “David is on the brink of committing to either Paris Saint-Germain or a UK club. He’ll make the announcement just after the New Year.
“They are preparing to be back in Britain and have been looking at schools for the boys. David is keen on one particular school because it’s the area where he grew up and when he was a child he always wished he could have gone there.”
Although Victoria was initially reluctant to move, the hugely successful fashion designer is now “excited” about returning home.
The source added: “David has always been adamant he wants to end his career in Europe and Victoria is totally behind the move. She is using the opportunity to work on her fashion profile in Europe and the boys will be privately educated. They are all very excited.
“Victoria wants to come back to London and live between the capital and Paris but she won’t give up the place in LA. The advantage of being over here is they can spend more time with their families. But they love LA so it’s likely they’ll be back.”

Victoria Beckham has joined a campaign to save a London textile company
The former Spice Girl and a host of other designers including Holly Fulton, Jonathan Saunders and Zandra Rhodes have designed a new bank note in order to keep London Printworks – one of the UK’s leading print factories – from closing.
These works of art will be sold to attempt to raise the £200,000 necessary to keep the company open next year after its funding was cut.
Victoria told Vogue.co.uk: “I am proud that my business is based in London and it is important that we nurture the skills and talent within the British Fashion Industry.
“The London Printworks is one of the few remaining facilities in the UK that offers the opportunity to create bespoke textiles and their great work has to be supported.”
The fashion designer has also been tweeting about the cause, and asking her followers to buy her cat print limited edition note.
She wrote: “My VictoriaCat limited edition £50 artnote for sale!! Supporting London textile charity #counterfeat http://www.counterfeat.co.uk xVB (sic). “

Victoria Beckham at the British Fashion Awards at The Savoy in London - 28 November 2011
Victoria Beckham was embarrassed about her fashion pedigree when she had dinner with Marc Jacobs.
The former Spice Girls star – who is married to soccer star David Beckham – wasn’t always confident of her design abilities and admitted she was worried the sartorialist wouldn’t take her seriously.
She said: “We went out to dinner one night, and he said, ‘I saw that you put out a collection.’
“I felt embarrassed to tell Marc Jacobs that I – me, ex-Spice Girl, married to a footballer – was creating a fashion line.”
However, Victoria – who was recently “overwhelmed” to be presented with the Designer Brand of the Year gong at the British Fashion Awards – has since overcome her fears and now says she never worries about “proving” herself to other people.
She told America’s ELLE magazine: “People say to me, ‘Oh you’ve proved yourself to everybody…’ But that was never why I did this.
“I had a lot to prove to myself. I’m proud of myself. I’m proud of my team.
“I have to say I was not expecting to win and I was quite overwhelmed.
“I’ve never felt my heart beating so fast. I lost the ability to think or speak – my vocabulary just went out the window. It means so much to me.
“I had the most phenomenal team of people and I was up there on behalf of all of us and I really didn’t want to forget anyone. My mind was completely blank.”

You’ve got the frock, know what make-up look you’re going for, but what about that all important hairstyle for the Christmas party?
If you’re not too keen on an updo why not take inspiration from the latest celebrity red carpet looks and go for loose Christmas curls.
Inspired by style icon Bridget Bardot, this look has recently been channelled by the likes of Victoria Beckham, Kelly Brook and of course Kate Middleton. And it’s also very simple to achieve.
Split hair into sections, grab the curling tongs or heated rollers and set with hairspray. For extra volume gently backcomb roots.

Victoria Beckham is “in love” with all her four children.
The fashion designer – who has sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six, and four-month-old daughter Harper with soccer star husband David – loves being a mother as they bring so much joy to her life.
The 37-year-old star – who has rarely been seen without Harper by her side since her birth in July – said: “Harper is absolutely amazing . but I am in love with all of my children. They are all wonderful.”
Victoria – who currently lives in Los Angeles – and Harper flew into London over the weekend so the former Spice Girl could attend the British Fashion Awards and she admits it was hard to leave the tot to go to the ceremony.
Speaking at the event – where her fashion line won Designer Brand of the Year – she said: “She has been upstairs in the hotel suite tonight and my parents have been babysitting her. I am missing her already! It’s great being back in London, and seeing my mum and dad, but it’s so hectic. I always forget how crazy these events are.”
Victoria was thrilled to receive her award as it’s something her children can be proud of.
She said: “The kids can take this in to show and tell at school.”

Victoria Beckham not only won our best dressed award but was also recognised for her talent at the British fashion Awards.
The starlet who turned up in a long black frock, was awarded the Designer Brand award for her brand and the progress it has made.
Meanwhile Alexa Chung who turned up in a silver embellished round neck frock was awarded the British Style award for the second year running.
Kate Moss was also at the event dressed in a questionable mix between a string vest and fishntet type black frock, while Abbey Clancy also made a mistake in an ill fitting cream frock.
Rocking the black dresses were McQueen designer Sarah Burton and Samantha Cameron as well as Kate Hudson who went for a panelled frock.
See the gallery below for all the fashion from the night.

Victoria Beckham asked for a 25 percent discount card when she went supermarket shopping.
The fashion designer – who, along with soccer star husband David, is worth a reported £160 million – was buying goods from Los Angeles store Ralph’s over the weekend and before she went to pay, she asked her bodyguard to give his details to a shop assistant so they could get money off.
Victoria, who was also accompanied by four-month-old daughter Harper, spent 20 minutes on the shop and picked up toilet paper, pretzels and a thank you card and staff were impressed with how grounded she was.
One Ralph’s employee is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper: “We loved having Victoria in the store. All the staff were going crazy when she left. She was really nice and very down to earth. We were shocked when she asked for a 25 per cent discount card but it’s nice to see she’s just as normal as everyone else, though.
“We were all falling around with laughter as she could afford to buy everything in this shop in one fell swoop.”
However, the 37-year-old star – who also has three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz, with David – isn’t as frugal when it comes to shopping for her children.
The former Spice Girls star is currently in New York with baby Harper and the mother and daughter duo were spotted splashing the cash in the city’s iconic toy store FAO Schwarz.

The long black dress was at the centre of the fashion world yesterday as celebrities opted for this look at a range of events.
Channelling the look over in the US was Nicole Richie who went for a simple plunge neck version for the 15th Annual Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards.
She was joined at the event by Agyness Deyn who opted for the long black frock in a see through lace version. Over at the MLS Western Conference Championship Victoria Beckham went for a black frock, while baby Harper Seven dressed in grey for the event.
And it was the same fashion story in London with Amber and Yasmin Le Bon both opting for black dresses at the Harpers Bazaar Women of the Year Awards. Amber channelled the lace look while her mother stuck to a classic asymmetric strapless look.
They were joined by Natalia Vordinova who spiced up the back dress with a velvet bustier look. However some celebrities stood out from the black dress crowd. Jessie J went for an 80s look of a blue jumpsuit at gauche gold jacket, while Coco Rocha also went for blue in a strapless dress at the Harpers Bazaar Women of the Year Awards.
See the gallery below for all the star style.
