Sunday is unofficially Victoria Beckham day at New York fashion week. It is easily the highlight for the British contingent, who can't resist the combination of good dresses and a bit of up-close celebrity action. This season the show was about longer lengths, pleats and coats - with a side of bump-watching.
I had the dubious honour of sitting right next to Victoria herself as she narrated the show. I say "dubious" only because even at five months pregnant she is still teeny-tiny, which makes anyone sitting next to her look - to put it bluntly - like a right old lump. I say "honour" because she really is unbelievably charming.
Here are the gossipy bits that she told me:
• She'll be finding out what the sex of the baby is in a week or so, but doesn't care whether it's a boy or a girl and feels very lucky.
• David is flying out to meet her in New York for Valentine's Day after she's finished with the show.
• She loves the more editorial direction of the hair and makeup (it was a bit surgical-looking for me, if I'm honest).
• The wire of the microphone that she was wearing to narrate the show was slipping down her legs and annoying her.
As for the clothes, you can read my review here ... But if pushed for a highlight, I'd have to say that several hours later I'm still obsessing about an oversized cashmere duffel bag. Not exactly cheap or practical, but just delicious.
