Victoria Beckham is the fashionista's favourite - not to mention the ever stylish mother of four, who seems to prove that women can have it all.

However, a new photo sweeping the web has onlookers wondering if even she was unable to escape the perils of a Photoshop fail.

In a series of stark images for Vogue China that show the designer with minimal make-up pulling bold poses, her Instagram followers have pointed out how one image seems to show a gap where a section of her upper thigh should be.

In her latest photoshoot, Victoria Beckham proved that even she couldn't escape the perils of a Photoshop fail, as Vogue China managed to accidentally remove one of her legs

Victoria posted the shots on her Instagram account yesterday, where they've been liked 152,000 times.

But the image left fans divided as many praised the pictures that see the mother-of-four showing off her lean, toned limbs and impressive flexibility, while others pointed out the 'Photoshop fail'.

In the offending picture, Victoria smoulders into the camera as she poses on her tip toe, holding her other leg close to her body.

But the 41-year-old appeared to be oblivious to the error as she shared the photo with her 9.8million Instagram followers, alongside the caption: 'Loved working on this shoot for @voguechina May issue.

'Thank u [sic] @inezandvinoodh, @wendyrowe, @georgecortina and @shayashual x vb.'

Some fans were quick to point out - what they interpreted as - an editing error.

Taylor_morcom, wrote: 'The pic when she is holding her leg the thigh of her back leg is missing'.

While Lorna_2109 added: 'Bad photoshop', Annahinchliff said: 'Photoshop fail', and Sakuraisme wrote: 'The detached leg tho.'

Friends of the star dismissed the speculation as 'nonsense', while others have said the effect is simply a matter of her skirt flying up at the back.

Estmanning wrote: 'Stunning!! Someone said the thigh of her back leg is missing but it's just her shirt.'

Pitrka added: 'She just have the white pans [sic] and it is look like missing leg [sic], you are silly ;).'

Josephinekent84, wrote: 'Her leg has been 'cut out' she hasn't it's the shorts coming underneath and between her legs.'

Shakyrajclaxton added that the 'Photoshop fail' was clearly just white knickers.

A number of fans were quick to pick up on the Photoshop fail as many questioned why part of her leg was missing

The followers assumed that the illusion of a missing leg was caused by bad Photoshop editing

Nevertheless, most agreed that Victoria looked flawless in the rest of the snaps as her hair hung loose and wavy against a range of neutral garments.

And the former Spice Girl showed off her wilder side in bare feet and dramatic poses.

Fans also commented on how well the photos showed her personality.

Juliepurssey, said: 'These pictures make you look soft and stunning! Nice change from the hard exterior we see of you sometimes.'

Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham added another string to her bow this month, as she turned model in the latest issue of Vogue China.

Showing off her spring/summer 2016 collection, Victoria Beckham posed up a storm in the abstract black-and-white shoot.

One of our favorite looks has got to be this one where Mrs. Beckham shows off her ballet skills in a cream knitted two-piece (who said twin sets had to be boring?!).

This look, featuring a fluted maxi skirt and matching peplum jumper, featured on the Victoria Beckham SS16 catwalk during New York Fashion Week.

The good news is you can now buy the top at FWRD.com (click right). But if the price tag is putting you off, fear not! As we've sourced some fab alternatives below.

A representative for Victoria Beckham declined to comment.

MailOnline has contacted Vogue China for comment.

But even though she had a bit of fun with the shoot, Victoria still didn't crack a smile.

Victoria has focused on building a fashion empire, ever since leaving British pop group The Spice Girls.

It is normally Victoria's clothes that are shown off in front of the camera, rather than the designer herself

And it seems as though she wants to separate herself entirely from her former singing fame as it has been rumoured that she has also turned down requests to reunite with the Spice Girls, later this year.

It has also been suggested that she has rejected any interviews and appearances to do with the group.

A source told The Mirror: 'She's said no to every single suggestion.

'She's turned down performances, documentary involvement, even requests to be quoted on the anniversary.

'At the moment, her only priority is building the fashion brand.'

This was shown as Victoria recently opened her first boutique in Asia - not long after she opened the door to her 6,000 square feet Dover Street flagship store in London.
