Mel B enlists Posh to design sexy frocks

Having a style icon pal comes in handy sometimes. And as if she didn't have her fingers in enough pies, Victoria Beckham is to design her fellow Spice Girl Mel B's costumes for Dancing With The Stars.

The American version of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing kicked off this week and Mel was a massive hit dancing the cha-cha.

Posh is a natural choice to help design the huge range of outfits Scary Spice will need if she manages to do well in the competition.

Victoria, 33, who is in Japan to promote her perfume range, already boasts her own clothing line, VB, and created jeans for Rock And Republic.

She has also designed a handbag collection for fashion label Samantha Tharasa, but Mel won't be needing one of those as she dances her way into the hearts of the American public with her partner, Ukrainian-born ballroom champion Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
