Victoria Beckham brought her shiny, happy persona to NYC Fashion Week and the Oscar de la Renta show on Monday. Doesn’t she look thrilled? Why so glum, sugar plum? Is it because your BFF, Katie Holmes, could get permission to join you? Did someone have the nerve to offer you something to eat?

Oh, wait…that’s just her usual face. Phew! Crisis averted. You know, you’d think for someone who supposedly has a “passion for fashion” she’d at least look a little enthused. If nothing else it gave her a reason to wear yet another teeny dress of questionable taste (I actually don’t mind the cut of the dress–it’s the strange-looking fabric that has me perplexed. It almost looks like crushed velvet). But, instead, she sits there looking like there’s not a thought going through that head of hers. Which is probably true.

Later, it was time for a stop at the Marc Jacobs show in an equally questionable, but decidedly tighter, dress–this time with the giant melons on full display and the same sour expression. Smile, Posh–that would be may-jer!
