Victoria Beckham fancies herself as something of a style icon but it appears she is taking inspiration from an unlikely source.
The former Spice Girl has copied troubled singing diva Amy Winehouse's exposed bra look in a photoshoot for trendy US designer Marc Jacobs.
But with her silicone enhanced chest bursting forth from the dress' bodice, it made for a particularly vulgar take on the already decidedly common look.

Role model: Amy might be surprised to learn that Victoria Beckham is taking style tips from her
The wannabe style queen struck an awkward pose - a cross between a teapot and a shop window mannequin - dressed in an outfit which looked much like a decorative toilet roll cover in the latest campaign for the trendy US designer.
As the former Spice Girl modelled her most bizarre look yet for the trendy US designer - full lace gown, and squiggly headpiece - complete with a heavy layer of fake tan for her supposed friend.
But with friends like these, she surely doesn't need any enemies.
Victoria appears in the latest of a series of arty adverts for the popular designer's fashion house Marc Jacobs, which was shot by celebrated fashion photographer Juergen Teller.
The former Spice Girl, has made no secret of her desperate desire to be a style icon, but judging by these pictures she's come up considerably short.
Hoisted up like a shop window mannequin Posh was left inches off the floor, with her usually expressionless face typically devoid of expression.

Hopefully the photoshoot she took part in the other day at the Chateau Marmont hotel which go some way to repair the damage.

I'm not sure what it is about all these Marc Jacobs photos recently, but she looks like she's had a really bad fake tan - she looks all blotchy.

She's extremely wealthy, so I dare say she can do as she pleases. From appearances that appears to be not terribly much bar wearing very expensive clothes and going to lunch. Lucky woman.

Oh Victoria - give it up. You are not model material in fact my sister-in-law, who lives in Scotland, has got exactly the same toilet roll cover on the top of her cistern so..... if you ever run out of money you may just have found yourself a new job. Rent a loo roll cover!
