Posh goes for the Amy Winehouse look...but fails to pull it off

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.

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.
