Shades and no coat... Posh on a night out in Arctic London

Victoria Beckham must have still had LA on her mind when she stepped out in London in the coldest temperatures of the season with no coat.

Victori-brr: Posh out in the cold

Shivering in short sleeves, she also seemed to think she was protecting her eyes from the Californian glare in oversized sunglasses - when in fact it was dark outside.

Posh was returning to her hotel from Selfridges after launching her collection of dresses. She was modelling one of them and the frocks, all skintight, do not allow for thermal underwear. It meant 34-year-old Posh just had to grit her teeth and put up with the temperature hovering around 1C.

The sunglasses, though, were a mistake because she could not see where she was going and nearly collided with a potted tree outside the hotel.

Victoria also failed to see a fan who offered her a rose as she swept in with her father Tony Adams.

Her fashion collection of 10 dresses, which are Fifties-inspired and only go up to a size 14, cost between £650 and £1,900.
