While her former Spice Girl bandmates were collecting a Best Band award at last night's Glamour  Awards, Victoria Beckham was in need of a little help from her friends as she left a New York restaurant.

Posh was flanked by two pals as she tottered out of upmarket restaurant STK in the trendy meatpacking district.

Her absence at last night's high profile event - attended by Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Melanie Brown - did not go unnoticed but it seems she had a more pressing engagement.

Sloshed Spice: Victoria Beckham needed a little help from her friends after leaving restaurant STK in New York City last night

Posh flew to New York for the high-profile CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday night.

Yesterday she went to a meeting in Manhattan at Conde Nast before indulging in some retail therapy at the Bergdorf Goodman store.

Perhaps she was a little giddy over the news that her husband David has bought her a vineyard for her 34th birthday.

The star is said to have paid a seven-figure sum for the estate in the Napa Valley, which will produce wine exclusively for their consumption.

Meanwhile, her Hollywood pal Kate Beckinsale, who won best film actress last night, said her boobs were being helped out by a very unusual gift from her pal Victoria Beckham.

She said: 'Victoria gave me some nipple covers, which are very useful. She said, "Use these so you're not smuggling peanuts in your frock!."'

Kate and Posh are constantly photographed together when they're hanging out in LA.

The actress added: 'I do see Victoria quite a lot because she's got kids the same age as mine and she's English and a really good laugh.'
