Victoria Beckham threw a belated 40th birthday party at the exclusive Arts Club in London over the weekend, and there were some rather unexpected famous faces there…

The fashionista, who celebrated her big day with a family trip to the Grand Canyon last week, invited a close circle of pals to the bash, including some rather unexpected A-listers.

Amongst the attendees were director Guy Ritchie and his pregnant fiance Jacqui Ainsley, fellow Spice Girls Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, designer Kelly Hoppen, and of course, close pals Tana Ramsay and chef hubby Gordon (who arrived sporting a rather strange new 'do).

Victoria was also joined by television presenter Claudia Winkleman, DJ Samantha Ronson, and newly uncoupled Coldplay star Chris Martin, who looked relaxed and happy as he exited the venue.

How we wish we'd been a fly on the wall...

Victoria Beckham saw in her 40th birthday officially at a luxurious spa on the edge of the Grand Canyon National Park last week, posting a series of pictures of herself and David, as well as spectacular scenery from their frequent hiking trips.
