London Fashion Week is in full swing and a gaggle of celebs made their way to the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground this week for the Burberry Spring 2010 fashion show. While there were many a pretty celeb in the hiz, it was Burberry spokesmodel Emma Watson who stole the show from the front row in the audience:

When they signed her up for their ad campaigns, Burberry might have wondered if it was a risk too far. But as Harry Potter star Emma Watson arrived at London Fashion Week, she proved she is worth her weight in gold. Wearing a stunning metallic Burberry minidress and towering black heels, the 19-year-old actress turned heads as she arrived at the Burberry show. She even managed to upstage the perennially glamorous Victoria Beckham, who arrived in an understated black knee-length dress. Emma wore dark eye make-up and styled her hair in a loose up-do, proving she was perfectly at ease among the fashion know-how. ‘Emma got the look just right,’ one eyewitness said. ‘It would have been a big mistake to try an over the top outfit. Her dress wowed the crowds but looked sophisticated at the same time.’ Other attendees included Slumdog Millionaire stars and off-screen lovers Freida Pinto and Dev Patel, who are now happily flaunting their relationship after a spell of camera-dodging. Agyness Deyn turned up in a ruffled mint green dress and black stockings while actress Liv Tyler opted for black leggings. Earlier in the evening, fashion giant Burberry announced it was ‘thrilled to be back’ in London as top industry names gathered tonight for one of the most eagerly-awaited catwalk shows of the year.

I guess now we know why Emma flew back home to the UK after beginning classes at Brown University here in the States earlier this month. As spokesmodel for the brand, it makes sense that Burberry would want her in the front row of their Spring ‘10 fashion show. She looks fab in this gold dress … looooove her!! Burberry must be doing very well these days, they managed to cull together a pretty impressive list of attendees. I guess that brown plaid is back in vogue.

Victoria Beckham, who couldn’t be in London last week to be a part of an impromptu Spice Girls reunion dinner, made her way to the UK this week to attend London Fashion Week events this week … and I gotta say, she looked pretty fabulous doing so. Vicki B. was lookin’ smart in one of the dresses from her fashion line in daytime and then looked kinda fab in a handkerchief dress for the nighttime events … behold:

I’m hearing that VB has been running non-stop since she arrived in London (apparently, she was lookin’ very bedraggled by night’s end) and seems very intent on hitting as many fashion events as possible. I suppose it’s a good thing that the Spices didn’t wait just one week to reunite this week in London because methinks VB would be TOO BIZZY to deign to join them for dinner anyway. Seriously, who needs a Spice Girl reunion anyways … VB was lookin’ fab all by herself … she don’t need those mean girls … the jerks.

David Beckham played one of his last home games with the LA Galaxy at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA last night. Altho it is being reported that Becks has already signed a new contract with Italian soccer team AC Milan (which is set to begin permanently next January), he played last night with much gusto helping his team beat Toronto FC by a score of 2-0, moving them forward towards the MLS play-offs. Here are a few pics of Becks in action in last night’s game:

David Beckham scored once and assisted on another goal to lead the Los Angeles Galaxy to a 2-0 victory over Toronto FC. The Galaxy remain two points behind Houston for the Western Conference lead and are third in the MLS with 41 points. The top team in each conference and the clubs that have the next six highest point totals qualify for the playoffs. Beckham scored in the ninth minute with a left-foot strike from 17 yards. Edson Buddle clinched the win with seven minutes to play. Former Manchester United star Beckham said: ‘Tonight, I was happy with my goal and I was happy with the assist I gave to Landon and Eddie, but I think it was the overall team performance that was exceptional tonight.’ Galaxy boss Bruce Arena said: ‘David’s a real good player, there’s no question about it. He is a person with a lot of pride, besides that outstanding ability that he has. He did everything he could tonight to lead this team. I thought his performance was outstanding.’

As per usual, Becks had his cheering squad in the hiz last night rooting him and the LA Galaxy to victory:

And by games end, as he is usually wont to do, Becks stripped off his soccer jersey so that he could walk off the field victorious — and shirtless. After the jump, check out the pics of Becks sans kit …

While the Spice Girls — Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton — were bizzy reuniting with one another in London, England last night withOUT Victoria Beckham, Vicki B. was bizzy at home in SoCal test driving a new white Range Rover to add to her collection of vehicles:

Jerks.

Victoria Beckham, who just showed her third dress collection here at New York Fashion Week over the weekend, paid a visit to the ladies on The View to talk about how fabulous her life is with hubby David Beckham (who, altho he is hot, can’t seem to play golf to save his life). Here are a couple screencaps from VB’s appearance on The View yesterday morning:

Victoria Beckham opened up about marriage, and life with the ‘handsome one’, husband David Beckham, 34, on a US chat show yesterday. Victoria, 35, submitted herself to a grilling from the women on show The View led by Hollywood star Whoopi Goldberg, 53. Looking chic in one of the sold-out dresses from her fashion line – the grey cashmere Giral strapless sheath – she was asked if she still felt sexy after ten years of marriage, to which Victoria said: ‘Yes I still feel sexy. We’re so lucky to have each other. I really feel that with David I’ve met my soul mate. He’s a really amazing father and a really great husband as well, yes I still feel sexy. I go to bed with David Beckham every night, I’m trying.’ Victoria, who is known for her trademark ‘Posh pout’ complained she was sick of being considered the ‘funny’ one in her marriage to David Beckham. ‘Everybody says “David’s so handsome and she’s so funny” – I’m sick of being the funny one,’ she said. Whoopi had personally requested Posh – who is currently promoting the Beckhams’ new fragrance, Signature Story – as a guest but only remembered after the slot was confirmed that she is allergic to scent. So the former Spice Girl was banned from spraying the perfume near Whoopi. The 250-strong audience, who were all given goody bags containing the new fragrance, had to sign a promise in writing not to open the bottles in the ABC studios. Victoria was asked about her signature unsmiling pose in photos, and she said that her mind was elsewhere most of the time she was having her picture taken. Posh said her famous pout was not a conscious move – but that it is just the way her ‘face falls’ naturally. She said: ‘I just think that’s just me. Maybe it’s the way my face falls, I don’t know.’ The singer turned fashionista added: ‘At the end of the day I do what I do. Half the time I’m just doing it, thinking, getting it done, sorting out the kids, you know.’ She also shared her secret of looking so good every time she is photographed at an airport. ‘I think it’s the way I was brought up … when you travel you always look nice. I always have a tracksuit or my pyjamas in my bag, so I go into the toilet – I’m a bit like Superman when I get in there, I put on something comfortable.’

LMAOOOOO about the fragrance … Whoopi may have said she was allergic but what she prolly really meant was, I don’t want no VB stink on me ;) Vicki B. does come across more personable in live interviews than she does in photos. After the jump, check out how personable she was on The View yesterday morning …

Victoria Beckham showed off the Spring 2010 collection of her dress line at New York Fashion Week this weekend and, as I understand it, the collection was a huge success. Showcasing bold colors and adventurous fabrics and prints, VB seems to be confidently moving her design aesthetic into the true realm of high fashion. Here are photos of VB at the Fashion’s Night Out event at Bergdorf Goodman over the weekend and some deets about her latest collection:

Already a favourite with the likes of Elle Macpherson and Dannii Minogue, Victoria Beckham has won universal praise from the fashion community since launching her label two seasons ago. So expectations were high for the launch of her latest collection at New York Fashion Week yesterday in a hip downtown art gallery. The fledgling designer didn’t disappoint, her latest offering braver and more confident than previous seasons. ‘This is my third collection, and I wanted to push myself, but I also wanted to be respectful of my customer,’ she said. ‘I want her to know she can rely on me.’ Featuring bolder colours, sombre-style prints and a more adventurous spectrum of fabrics and cuts, she seemed to have flexed her fashion muscles to fantastic effect. Presenting her spring/summer 2010 collection, Beckham had refashioned her signature fitted dress in a sunny yellow hue. This season’s popular peplum style was pared down in taupe with a geometric cut-out neckline, while another creation – worn by the designer herself for the occasion – played with the proportions of the overskirt, teaming it with a high hemline. A loose silky shift dress in a black, yellow and white print saw her step out of her tailored comfort zone, while formal eveningwear also featured for the first time in the shape of a stunning red silk goddess gown with a cut-out back and black trim.

After the jump, check out a few of VB’s Spring ‘10 designs to see what all the fuss is about …

Last week we got our first look at Victoria Beckham on the cover of the new issue of Elle magazine … and today we get to see a few photos from her Elle photospread PLUS we get to read a few more quotes from her Elle coverstory interview:

On being separated from husband David Beckham for six months while he was playing soccer in Milan:
“I felt like someone had chopped my arm off, to be completely honest. Everything we do, we do together. I very rarely go out on my own, unless it’s a work commitment.”

On raising her children:
“[They] bloody well will work. Same as myself, same as David. They’re not going to be the kind of kids that just hang about. I want them to be able to fulfill their passions, but I think it’s important that the children grow up and have respect for themselves.”

Far and away my favorite quote from her entire interview has to be, “We should just not talk about each other’s boobs.” LOLOLOLOL!!! She may look like a cold, unfeeling robotic animatron from planet Plastic but methinks her creators fashioned her with a pretty capable funny bone. The photos are meh. but the quotes are pretty priceless … don’t you think?
