Victoria Beckham Lands TomKat Designer Deal

While David Beckham has been struggling to find a spot to call home, his wife, Victoria, has been weaseling her way into being named fashion designer for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes‘ Oscar ensembles.

A newbie to the fashion design business, but well-connected, Victoria Beckham convinced the couple that she was the perfect person to pick their outfits for the prestigious awards ceremony set to take place on Sunday February 25th.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “Victoria has the most amazing idea of what will look good on both Tom and Katie and has already discussed various fabrics and designs with them.

"They were originally planning to wear their favourite designer Armani’s clothes. But Victoria has convinced them to go with her ideas instead.” According to Daily Star sources, Victoria is planning to dress Tom and Katie in matching black outfits, with his and hers red trim around them.

The former Spice Girl recently styled Katie, 28, for a photo shoot in Harper ‘s Bazaar magazine. The friends also attended catwalk shows together in Paris earlier this month wearing co-ordinated outfits.

Victoria, 32, will also be in attendance at the Oscars and a range of designers are desperate for her to be seen in their creations. But it seems to only make sense that she would wear one of her own creations, doesn’t it?

While all of this has been taking place, soccer megastar David Beckham has been searching for a pad in LA. According to the NY Times, he reportedly checked out 20 or so mansions carrying price tags between $18 and $30 million, but has not yet found a winner. Part of the problem, real estate agents told the paper, was that the newly signed Los Angeles Galaxy star did not want to have to do any remodeling to suit his preferences.
