Channel Victoria Beckham in a black strapless dress

There's no denying that Victoria Beckham is now officially part of the fashion elite. Her catwalk collections are met with as much respect as the long-established labels and she's become a style icon in her own right.

Attending the opening night of the 'Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty' exhibition, Victoria demonstrated both of our points by looking stunning in a dress from her own brand.

The strapless design gives it a chic look, but the bold cut-out features provided an edgy fashion-forward streak. Naturally, when you're the head of a brand getting a custom made frock is not a problem, explaining why you'll only be able to spot a slightly shorter skirt version of this same cut-out design on the recent Autumn/Winter catwalk.

You might not be able to get your hands on this exact custom made dress, but not only can you click right to shop the current VB range at Net-a-Porter, but you can also get inspired by Victoria's look with our edit of strapless dresses below. Just pair with some black pumps and pout like there's no tomorrow!

A day before, she was seen preparing for the big celebrations when she went on a shopping spree in west London with a member of her entourage in tow. 

Retried footballer David is said to have invited such celebrity pals as Tom Cruise and best friend Dave Gardner and his girlfriend LIv Tyler to jet over to his favourite five star resort for his bash.

Also thought to be on the list of attendees are director Guy Ritchie, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and David's former  Manchester United team-mate Gary Neville.

While his wife Victoria celebrated her 40th with a family trip to the Grand Canyon and a celeb-packed party in London, her husband is expected to go one better.

According to The Sun On Sunday, David and his pals will be checking into the luxury Amanjena resort, just outside Marrakesh, for a weekend of partying.

The hotel restaurant specialises in Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine, but if the group tire of the local delicacies there's also a Thai restaurant on site, while a private dining space could be hired out for David's birthday dinner. A cigar bar is also on hand.

A boutique is also located inside the resort, meaning Victoria and co wouldn't even need to set foot in the nearby souks to stock up on locally crafted products, while David's wife can also relax in the renowned spa which features two Turkish-style hammams.

A 27-hole championship golf course is right next door should David and his friends fancy a round, while the resort also boasts a 33 metre outdoor pool.

The resort holds special significance for David and his wife, with reports they renewed their vows there during a romantic break in 2004. 

'He'll only turn 40 once so he wants to do it in style. Morocco is a place close to his heart.,' a source also told the paper.

A spokesperson for David declined to comment on the star's rumoured birthday plans when contacted by Mail Online.
