Victoria Beckham Fall 2009

Posh recently showed off her latest collection of looks, which might as well been called "The Inside of My Closet." Style.com was there:

"The fits-like-a-glove sheath made a reappearance, this time in soft gray cashmere with little cap sleeves. New to the mix were short day dresses in black stretch wool felt, above-the-knee cocktail numbers in gold tinsel bouclé, and gowns in crepe or matte sequins with elegant trains. (Capes in felt or silk gazar were also a new category for Beckham, but they didn't quite have the need-it-now quality of her frocks.)"

Well, her friendship with Roland Mouret has certainly helped her "design" career, hasn't it? To say she's "inspired" by his work would be a bit of an understatement. Still, we mostly like the collection. Posh is selling one brand and that's herself. It makes sense that a line of her clothing looks like nothing more than her unpacking her suitcase and having a runway show to celebrate. We like the dramatic, Crawford-esque gowns as well as some of the little shift dresses, especially the gold one. The short, shiny jackets with the big bows look a little chip in a chip way.

ENOUGH with the exposed zippers. It was interesting for about 4 and a half minutes.

Speaking of Posh, let's continue judging her. Here she is leaving "La Risacca" restaurant in Milan, Italy wearing Alexander McQueen Resort 2009 and Miu Miu whipstitch pumps.

Model: Michaela Kocianova


She looks great. It's a killer dress and a killer set of heels. You really can't go wrong with that.

Oscars 2009 Parties

Let's take one last, loving look at these celebrity bitches getting their drunk on, shall we?

Jessica Biel attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Oscar de la Renta Fall 2009

It's just alright. To be honest, it looks a little cheesy - and the gold belt was not an improvement.


Carrie Underwood attends the 17th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in Georges Chakras Spring 2009 Couture

Kinda hated this one. It's too stiff and shapeless on her, like she's wearing a very embellished lamp shade.


Carolina Herrera attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Carolina Herrera Spring 2009

On the model, it's an interesting, if unflattering dress. On a non-model, i.e., Carolina Herrera, it just looks like too much dress. It's just not working on her.


Claire Danes attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Zac Posen Spring 2009

This is a really tough dress to pull off and we'll give her credit for trying, but again, this just isn't working. Hate the neckline and the sleeves.


Debra Messing attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Jenny Packham Fall 2008

Biggest HATEDRESS of the night. We can't tell you enough how much we hate this dress. It's just plain ugly - these pictures are actually almost flattering - and her boobs were hanging out the side.


DVF attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2009

Diane, we love you and we congratulate you on your legs, but something a little more formal for the next Oscar party, mkay?


Gwen Stefani attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Chanel Fall 2008 Couture

This is another really tough dress to pull off. The trick is, you need to be 20 years old and a model. Gwen is neither.


Jessica Alba attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Roland Mouret Resort 2009

Loathe as we are to admit it, she looks pretty fabulous.


Madonna attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Christian Dior Spring 2009

Lorenzo thinks she knocked it out of the park. Tom is scared of her arms.


Marion Cotillard attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Elie Saab Fall 2008

Gorgeous. This is the first pretty much flawless after-party look we've seen.


Marisa Tomei attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Juan Carlos Obando Spring 2009

It's an interesting dress in both versions, but we have to say we like it a lot better without the color blocking.


Sharon Stone attends the 17th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2009

Hello, nipples! And howyadoin there, hips? It's like a salute to Sharon Stone's body! In dress form! This ain't flattering at all. The distinct whiff of desperation doesn't help.


Taraji P. Henson attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Nina Ricci Spring 2009

Mmm. No. This is a clunker considering what she was wearing earlier in the night. It's just a little to twee and adorable.

Honestly, she is the ONLY woman who could pull off this dress. It's a bit much, but that's Posh for ya.

Photoshop Spice

Say what you will about Posh, she's got an amazing talent for making money off a manufactured persona and in ways that always get people talking:

"Mrs Beckham is promoting lingerie from the spring/summer collection for the Italian label which has already seen her husband David stripping down to his underpants with eye-catching results on billboards.

The former Posh Spice's images, shot by celebrated fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, will similarly be on show in New York, LA, London, Milan, Rome, Paris and Tokyo.

Of the campaign, for which Mrs Beckham, 34, is being paid a reported £12million over three years, Giorgio Armani said: 'I chose Victoria because she is a stylish and intriguing woman.'

Fabulous. And hey, if they're talking about her flabby stomach, who cares? She can wipe her ass with thousand-dollar bills if she wanted to.

"In the past, Mrs Beckham has complained how she 'looks really awful naked', adding: 'I've got so much saggy skin on my stomach.'

She also has a C-section scar from the birth of third son Cruz in 2005.

In these pictures, however, the tummy's taut and flawless.

The carefully staged poses and shadows may have helped.

But airbrushing expert Chris Bickmore believes the artifice goes a little further.

'Her skin has been totally cleaned up and polished,' he said.

'Her breasts have definitely been enhanced. I would also say her legs have been shaped and retouched.'"

Despite all that (or more accurately, because of all that) the pictures look pretty damn fab. Plus, they give us the excuse to post her hubby's bulge-y pics from his Armani campaign:



We gotta say, it must be awfully weird to be their kids.

Victoria Beckham: In or Out

Let's start off the New Year in the best way we know: by being really, really judgmental.

Here's Posh at a dinner party in Dubai wearing a Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 dress with YSL heels:

Model: Georgina Stojilkovic


It's certainly not a dress for everyone but hey, she's Posh. We would expect no less from her. We think it's fun and sophisticated and we even like what she did with her hair. We say IN but we suspect we're in the minority on that one. What do you bitches say?
