    Gwyneth Paltrow steps out in her third Mrs Beckham frock in so many weeks

    Victoria Beckham has a new number one A-list fan - Gwyneth Paltrow!

    The Iron Man 2 starlet has made Mrs B her designer of choice, slipping into three of the fashionista's frocks in so many weeks, while out promoting the movie sequel.

    First up, and she tapped a sleek slate grey shift with slight padded shoulders for a photocall in LA at the end of April, the perfect platform for flauting her Tracy Anderson toned bod.

    For round two she stepped it up a gear for a charity party, where she rocked a metallic cocktail dress, and accessorised with fierce black sandals and those famous picture-perfect pins.

    Fast forward a week, and for an appearance on US TV show The Marriage Ref, Gwyn again looked to VB, choosing a ruby red design with subtle padded shoulders, a nipped-in waist and kick out skirt.

    The lovely Ms Paltrow is not the first to slip into the scarlet frock - Sarah Jessica Parker chose the very same design for an event at the White House in February, while US TV star Kelly Ripa has also stepped out in the design.

    So what's the VB appeal? Perfectly in tune with Gywnnie's taste for undertstated elegance, the former Spice's dresses have become the stars' go-to favourite for bringing a touch of sophistication to the red carpet. 

    We guess you could say the A-list has added a seriously Posh edge to their wardrobes....
