VICTORIA AND KATIE MAKE IMMACULATE IMPRESSION IN PARIS

SEND TO A FRIEND

24 JANUARY 2007

Victoria Beckham is hoping her move to the United States will help take her fashion career on to the next level. And when the mum-of-three paid a visit to Paris on Tuesday, it quickly became clear that she can count on plenty of A-list support from both sides of the Atlantic.

The former Spice Girl, who was in town to check out the latest in haute couture at the Paris shows, was keeping company with her American pal Katie Holmes. The two women met up with their mutual friend Giorgio Armani at the opening of his new boutique in the French capital after Victoria had earlier dropped in to catch the latest Chanel collection with German style guru Karl Lagerfeld.

Needless to say, both Victoria and the Batman Begins star were looking characteristically chic as they enjoyed themselves in the City of Light. The British star wore a simple prom-style dress with one of her hallmark oversize belts, while her companion was elegant in a black velvet number with matching high-necked jacket.

Meeting up with old friends wasn't the only reason for Mrs Beckham's visit to Paris, though. The 32-year-old also held a meeting with cosmetics giant Coty to discuss marketing her and David's best-selling Intimately Beckham scents across the pond. According to media reports, the glamorous couple stands to earn an extra £7 million from the range as a result of their newfound popularity stateside.
