STYLE ICON VICTORIA BECKHAM TO GUEST STAR ON ABC'S "UGLY BETTY"
Victoria Beckham -- style icon and Spice Girl - will pay a visit to
ABC's award-winning comedy "Ugly Betty" in an episode to film
this fall. She will play herself, a celebrity bridesmaid at the wedding of
the millennium: Wilhelmina Slater's (Vanessa Williams) nuptials to
publishing mogul Bradford Meade (Alan Dale). Who knows what will happen
when "bridezilla" Wilhelmina takes that march down the aisle,
especially with "Posh Spice" leading the way?

"Not Such an Innocent Girl" and "This Groove/Let Your Head
Go On." In 1999 she married soccer superstar David Beckham and they
quickly became one of the world's most celebrated couples. In 2004
Victoria Beckham wanted to follow her passion for style and fashion and
embarked on various fashion partnerships, one of them being the hugely
successful Victoria Beckham for Rock and Republic. Most recently she
launched her own premium fashion label called dVb, penned a bestselling

of fragrances.
