Even Posh can look untoned sometimes

Here's something that will give women everywhere a bit of a boost - Victoria Beckham letting her guard down and looking less than perfect.

Sneaking out: Victoria leaving Cipriani through the kitchen door

The usually immaculate 34-year-old seemed a little worse for wear as she left Cipriani restaurant in Mayfair last night after having dinner with fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

Give this frock the elbow: a close-up of Posh's arms in the sleeveless dress that exposed a few wrinkles

Posh looked stylish in a gold and green tailored dress, but unfortunately at times its cutaway sleeveless style exposed her untoned, saggy arms to the cameras.

Looking bleary-eyed, the former Spice Girl had agreed to travel by black taxi instead of the chauffeur-driven limos we are more used to seeing her in.

The prospect of going back to her hotel in a lowly taxi is perhaps why Victoria decided to dodge photographers by leaving the restaurant through the kitchen door.

But it didn't work, and she was helped into the cab by her personal assistant just after midnight. She gingerly held on to her oversized handbag as she tried to stay upright in her six-inch red stilettos.
