After flying from LA to London on the weekend, dressed as shown to us on Twitter, in a stunning Prada print skirt, my mate Victoria Beckham headed directly to a meeting at a store called William Vintage. Usually careful to cover her four-kids-huge-career understandable exhaustion, this time VB left off her signature VB sunglasses.

Of course she looks amazing. Just a hint of the long distance travel eye smudges and slightly wan appearance. But not much to write home about. She really is extraordinary. And a real fashion icon.

Then, heading out on the streets, VB had the sunnies firmly back on her face and she was off to the next thing that needed her time and attention. No doubt the adorable Harper back at her hotel.
