Diane Alter – AHN News Reporter

London, England, United Kingdom (AHN) – The British Fashion Council honored Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen as Designer of the Year for 2011 at the British Fashion Awards.

Burton, who drew praise for designing Kate Middleton’s much-detailed wedding dress, has “allowed McQueen’s legacy to live while still giving her own twist of creative genius to a collection that has outshone its rivals on and off the catwalk,” the council said.

Victoria Beckham won for best brand. Alexa Chung, dressed in a sparkling beaded Christopher Kane dress, took home the Style Icon award for the second year.

Celebrity favorite Stella McCartney picked up the Red Carpet award in recognition of the “quality of her designs worn on the red carpet.”

Held Monday at London’s Savoy Hotel, A-listers mingling and looking glam included model Kate Moss and actor Colin Firth.

Victoria Beckham says she holds business meetings online in a bikini

Damian Grass – Celebrity News Service Reporter

Los Angeles, CA, United States (Celebrity News Service) – Victoria Beckham says she holds business meetings online in a bikini around the house when she’s working.

The former “Spice Girls” singer-turned-fashion designer told Elle Collections magazine she dresses to the nines when she holds meetings with her creative team in London.

“When I’m here in London, which is for about a week every month it’s really, really full-on.”

But when she’s with her family at their second home in Los Angeles, Beckham said she barely gets dressed for her online meetings.

“I use Skype to talk with my team usually wearing either a dressing gown or a bikini.”

The 37-year-old wife to soccer star David Beckham, with whom she has four children: Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8, Cruz, 6, and baby Harper Seven, who was born just last month, revealed that she rarely has time to shop for clothes.

“I just don’t have the time. I get a lot of my clothes on Net-a-Porter and I wear my own stuff.”

Perhaps working in a two-piece is serving Beckham as motivation to get her pre-pregnancy body back.

A source recently told Closer magazine that the British star is reportedly struggling with her body image after the arrival of Harper.

“Vic has barely slept in the past few weeks and has dark bags under her eyes. She’s finding it more difficult to lose the extra weight than she has done in the past and, even though she’s slimmed right down, she thinks her stomach is saggy.”

Despite compliments from her husband, the source added that Beckham is trying to regain her signature slim frame.

“David’s been telling her she looks great and just the same as before, but she doesn’t believe him,” the source said.

“Her figure is extremely important to her. She’s desperate to tone up her body.”

Victoria Beckham’s wedding gift to Kate Middleton: a boxful of her own designs

London, United Kingdom (CNS) – Victoria Beckham wants the future princess to be posh like her. The former Spice Girl-turned-designer is reportedly planning to give Kate Middleton a boxful of dresses she designed herself as a wedding gift.

According to U.K. paper Daily Star, Victoria will give Kate “the best gift a girl would want.” She apparently admires the sense of style of Prince William’s bride-to-be so she thinks a boxful of her own designs would be the perfect gift.

The tabloid’s source said, “Victoria is a real girls’ girl and she thinks Kate is lovely. She admires Kate’s natural sense of style and would be proud to gift her several of her hand-designed dresses for her honeymoon.”

Victoria’s husband, David, and William has been friends for years so it’s no wonder that the Beckhams are invited to the royal wedding. William and Kate even reportedly sent the older couple a bouquet when they learned that they are expecting their fourth child.

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – Victoria Beckham has gone from pop star to fashion designer, and she might even be on her way to becoming a U.S. citizen. According to her husband David Beckham, the two talk about whether or not they should get their citizenship.

“I hope so, one day,” Beckham told the L.A. Times when asked about citizenship. “It would be nice. Our boys go to school here. They’re happy here. As long as they continue to be happy here, my wife’s happy here, then we plan on staying.”

The Beckhams moved to Beverly Hills ever since David signed to play for LA Galaxy soccer team in 2007. After a brief reality show starring Victoria about her adjustment to America, “Victoria Beckham: Coming to America,” the couple have embraced life in America. They go to baseball and basketball games as well as L.A. Galaxy games, and even sing the Star Spangled Banner with hands over their hearts, reportedly.

But despite a possible change in citizenship, Beckham insists he’ll always be a Brit at heart. “I’m English born and bred and that’s the way I’ll always be,” he said. “I’m an Englishman, you know.”
