Victoria Beckham admits the little black Gucci dress that shaped her Spice Girls style, was actualy bought from this high-street store.
Victoria Beckham made the little black dress her signature style as a member of the Spice Girls, coveting a slick pop and heels wherever the band went.
Now, as a fully-fledged fashion designer, VB has revealed the truth behind that infamous 'little Gucci dress'.
And there's an unlikely high-street label to thank.
Talking in her new Skype documentary, Five Years - The Victoria Beckham Story, she admits: 'The first dress I wore in the Spice Girls that everybody thought was a little black Gucci dress was actually from Miss Selfridge.'
'I couldn't have afforded a little black Gucci dress,' the British designer says.
Although Victoria Beckham can afford as many Gucci frocks as she likes now, we love that the style Queen started out in a Miss Selfridge number.

Amazing.
