David and Victoria Beckham 'Signature' Fragrance Launch, Macy's, New York, America - 26 Sep 2008
The Beckhams were on hand in New York today to launch their new Signature fragrance, with Victoria sporting yet another new look. At the launch of their scents 'Signature For Him' and 'Signature For Her' at Macys Victoria boasted a hairdo that was almost as sleek as her gravity defying PVC boots. And Becks certainly seemed to approve of his wife's new look and saucy outfit; unable to keep his hands off her, at one point he was pictured giving her bottom a cheeky squeeze. He also leant Victoria a helping hand when it came to teetering around in her bizarre no-heel boots. With a pricetag of £3,300 the thigh high latex boots are by English-Italian designer Antonio Berardi. Thousands of fans flocked to catch a glimpse of the couple, bringing 34th Street to a virtual standstill. The ecstatic welcome suggests that their new fragrances will be just as wildly popular as their first line, Intimately, which went on sale in 2006.
Yes, as you can see from her back foot, these are latex boots with no heel. And no, I have NO IDEA how the physics of that works, other than her just being en pointe the whole night.

And very scribbly, though the accessories are divine. Posh's remaking of herself as a designer led to her settling into, I think, a more organic personal style. And while I didn't have the space or mental bandwidth to do a lengthy photo essay on that transition, I think you get ENOUGH of the gist, and we can relax into feeling like things aren't going to get WOEFULLY out of hand again. Just in case, though, please nobody give her chaps for her birthday.
