Victoria & David Beckham

Victoria Beckham’s eponymous fashion label silenced her critics when it launched last year and has since attracted a celebrity fan base to include Jennifer Lopez, Blake Lively and Elle Macpherson. But the singer-turned-designer admits there is one particular actress she would love to dress – Harry Potter star, Emma Watson. In the latest issue of British Harper’s Bazaar, Beckham describes the 19-year-old Watson as “so sweet, so true to herself,” adding: “There are so many young girls wearing too much make-up, too much hairspray – I find that very dated.” The ex-Spice Girl, who rarely uses a stylist, says she’s also a fan of Kate Bosworth, Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie’s style. “I think Angelina’s beautiful,” she said. But for now, she’s happy with her own little fashion victory – her own personal dress worn by Madonna in a raunchy W magazine shoot, which happened to be the moment Madge met Jesus Luz. “We must be the same size, because it fitted the same,” said Beckham who couldn’t have been happier to hand the garment over. “My dress has never seen so much action. I was really quite pleased for it.” Read more from Victoria Beckham at harpersbazaar.co.uk – Monique Jessen.

Brad Pitt’s new beard may remind some of MythBusters star Jamie Hyneman, but we couldn’t help but be reminded of another hot hunk who’s recently embraced his hairy side — David Beckham! The soccer player has been showing off an awfully scruffy face lately, just as Pitt grows his goatee into a full beard. We think these are two men who can do no wrong, but whose beard is hotter?

First Becks and now Posh! Less than a week after announcing that soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo would replace David Beckham as the face of Emporio Armani Men’s Underwear, the Italian design house has just announced Victoria Beckham’s hot replacement for the women’s campaign: Megan Fox! Starting in January, the actress will show off her enviable curves in a worldwide print and billboard campaign for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, WWD reports. And while husband and wife team of David and Victoria did star in some ads together, Megan and Cristiano sadly won’t be teaming up in front of the lens. Check back for more details on the campaign.

Victoria might have been the first Beckham to turn designer, but at an event this week, her husband proved he could hold his own with the launch of his debut men’s line. Giving David center stage, Victoria supported her husband as he unveiled the David Beckham by J. Bond Collection for Adidas’s Originals by Originals line in L.A. Despite his wife’s impressive design experience, the soccer star tells PEOPLE that Victoria wasn’t involved in his design process. His three little boys, however, did weigh in: “They are always so honest,” says David. “We stuck things in front of them to see how they’d react.” Their favorites? “They reacted really well to the sneakers.” As for his own top picks from the collection, the soccer star is equally enthusiastic about each of the designs. “It’s my style. I wanted to create something that everybody could wear whether it be going to practice, or the gym in the morning, or going for a coffee or going out to dinner at night,” David tells us. And although we were hoping that David would strip down for his own ads, like he did for Armani, the new designer confirms that he will remain behind the cameras for now.

In a fitting tribute to London Fashion Week’s 25th anniversary, Christopher Bailey brought a touch of Hollywood glamour to the capital with his latest collection for Burberry Prorsum. On the star-studded front row, Gwyneth Paltrow took her spot next to Burberry campaign model, Emma Watson but not before rushing over to greet the famous editor-turned-movie star, Anna Wintour. “That’s so weird because I literally just saw your movie last night — I loved it!,” gushed Paltrow. Victoria Beckham, Liv Tyler, Mary-Kate Olsen, Frieda Pinto and the brand’s face Emma Watson were also seated front row at the show, where the theme was ‘traditional Burberry with a twist’ (think trench coats encrusted with silver rocks and ruched mini-dresses in pale pastel hues). “I thought it was brilliant,” Posh told PEOPLE backstage adding, “I loved the colors a lot and the accessories were great.” Frieda Pinto couldn’t have agreed more, herself in a pale yellow dress straight off the runway, she gushed to PEOPLE, “There were so many colours out there I would wear, it was hard to choose!” As Christopher Bailey was greeted by his famous friends, he told PEOPLE how honored he was to have their support. “We had people flying over just for tonight, it was unbelievable and really emotional actually.” At the after party, Liv headed for the stage to see The Kooks perform live, saying “Everything was just beautiful, and so I’m happy to be back in London. It really is my favorite city, besides New York, of course!” –Monique Jessen

New York City’s much anticipated Fashion’s Night Out lived up to the hype, especially for the screaming fans and shoppers who made their way up to famed department store Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue to catch a glimpse of Victoria Beckham, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Lines to get into the luxury store stretched around the block and inside was just as packed. Victoria, clad in thigh-high Gucci boots and a neon mini dress, arrived around 7:30 PM to pose for pictures and sign Fashion’s Night Out T-shirts, telling PEOPLE on her way out, “It was great. It was really great.” Meanwhile, Mary-Kate and Ashley took a break from designing successful lines Elizabeth and James and The Row to work as bartenders on the 7th floor. Marli Milask, a lucky shopper who got an Olsen-mixed martini, tells PEOPLE, “It’s not that strong, but it’s good. We waited an hour to get inside and just see them for ten minutes, but it was worth it. They were very nice, just pouring drinks and handing them out.” And though the scene at Bergdorf’s was mayhem, one of the bartenders who worked beside the Olsens tells PEOPLE that the famous designers weren’t phased. “It was very relaxed. We were making a vodka and pomegranate drink. We mixed a couple of hundred drinks together. They’re very hard workers. Very nice.” Click here to check out where the other stars spent Fashion’s Night Out, and be sure to follow us on Twitter at Twitter.com/StyleWatchMag for all the latest Tweets from the Fashion Week!

Though Victoria Beckham has become a Hollywood staple since moving from England several years ago, there are some things about Tinsletown that still baffle the Brit. “I find it odd that people will go to a nice restaurant or to [the] theater in jeans and T-shirts,” the Elle cover girl dishes to the magazine. “You know, it’s great, David loves it. But it’s very different to my personal style.” And while L.A.’s laid back look work for her hunky husband, Victoria is not about to become a surfer girl. “I haven’t changed the way that I dress at all, which is probably why people stare a lot.” Victoria might not have morphed into a typical Hollywood celebrity, but that, she says, is what keeps people interested. “There are celebrities who always look great, always look pretty, but it’s always the same hair, the same makeup, and I find that quite boring. I want to change it up, do something really creative. I think that might be why women like me.” Turns out, women really do like Victoria’s style as stores can barely keep up with the demand for her designs, despite the high prices. “Would I think twice about buying a dress that costs $2,000? Yeah! Of course I would. I’d try it on and go home and think about it before I bought it,” defends Posh. She might not be ready to change into jeans, but Victoria is definitely embracing something else very American– prime time television! While David was away for six months playing soccer in Milan, Victoria indulged in some of our favorite shows. “I’ve done Nip/Tuck, Brothers & Sisters, Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice. Then I got into Gossip Girl. I’m beyond obsessed with that show,” Victoria admits. Gossip Girl and Victoria Beckham — now that’s a fashion match made in heaven. Producers, are you listening?
