VICTORIA BECKHAM cringes when she looks back at old photos of herself – because the low-cut dresses she wore showed off too much cleavage.
The former Spice Girl has launched her own fashion line – and now that she is designing clothing, she can see where she went wrong in the past.

She says, “I know how a dress should sit. I’ve worn so many in the past and when I see the photographs I think, crikey, my boobs are up round my neck again, because the corsets are too short and not cut high enough.”

DAVID BECKHAM came to the aid of a beleaguered paparazzo in New York on Wednesday night (26Nov08) – as a swarm of snappers clamoured to capture the soccer hunk with wife VICTORIA BECKHAM and pals TOM CRUISE and KATIE HOLMES.
The Beckhams are in the Big Apple staying with the Cruise clan over Thanksgiving (27Nov08), and they all stepped out on Wednesday to check out a performance of Holmes in Broadway play All My Sons.
The sight of the superstars arriving at Manhattan’s Schoenfeld Theatre created a frenzy and one female photographer tripped up as she stretched to get a picture – prompting the chivalrous Beckham to step over to help her to her feet.
The group, and their collective five kids, later all gathered to eat at a restaurant in the Greenwich Village neighbourhood.

Rock offspring PEACHES GELDOF has taken a swipe at VICTORIA BECKHAM’s status as a fashion icon – insisting she hates the way the former SPICE GIRL dresses.
Geldof, daughter of music legend Sir Bob Geldof, isn’t a fan of Beckham’s much adulated sense of style – because the singer-turned-designer simply follows fashion trends.
And the 19-year-old doesn’t understand why people think she is fashionable, because she takes styling tips from outlandish rocker Courtney Love.
She tells Nylon magazine, “Most people who know me know I don’t follow fashion. I mean, I just dyed the tips of my hair blue for God’s sake.

“I hate stars who look totally overstyled, like Victoria Beckham; give me Courtney Love, with her babydoll nighties and ripped fishnet tights, any day. For me, fashion is about pushing boundaries.

VICTORIA BECKHAM follows a set of golden rules when posing for photos on the red carpet – to ensure she’s snapped in the perfect light at every event.
The former Spice Girl, famed for her trademark pout, always manages to look stunning in photographs – but only because she adheres to a list of strict guidelines.
She tells Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine, “Don’t pose and talk at the same time, or else you’re going to end up with a dodgy photo!

“Be yourself – if I stood on the red carpet with a cheesy grin, that just wouldn’t be me. I’m always quite nervous at those kinds of things as well. I just try and concentrate.”

VICTORIA BECKHAM has released a short avant-garde film to promote her new range of dresses. The fashionista makes a brief cameo appearance in the promo, which sees a group of models playing hide and seek – covering their heads with cardboard boxes, socks and lying down on the floor in full evening wear.

Former SPICE GIRLS star VICTORIA BECKHAM feels she is often misrepresented as a publicity-hungry star – insisting she goes to great lengths to avoid appearing at celebrity hotspots.
The star and her husband, David, live in Los Angles with their three sons, and are often photographed out and about in the city.
But Beckham is adamant that she does not play up to the waiting snappers, revealing that she refuses to dine at star-studded restaurants, including The Ivy in Beverley Hills, and never attends high profile showbiz events.

She says, “We lead our lives in a much more low-profile way than people think. I’m not going to The Ivy. I don’t think I’ve been to a premiere since we moved there. We’re not courting fame.”I can give you a list of numerous restaurants that have underground parking so no one can get any photographs. I know all of the restaurant kitchens in L.A. Underground carparks and kitchens. That’s my grand entrance.”

VICTORIA BECKHAM believes she is “blessed” – and insists she never reads stories about herself for fear of ruining her happiness.The former Spice Girl claims she is “really happy” with her life – and is adamant she takes no notice of rumours about her and soccer star husband David.And Beckham reveals that the couple’s movie star pals Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are similarly dismissive of stories in the press.

She says, “I’m just really happy. I wake up every morning and I think I’m so blessed. I don’t read the stuff that’s written about us. I’m not interested in gossip.”Some of the people that I’m friends with in America – you know, Tom and Katie – they get it too and we laugh about all these stupid things
