Posh struts her stuff in billowing black dress at AC Milan party as husband David confirms she won't be moving to Italy with him

With a penchant for pencil skirts, she has described her style as ‘British school teacher’.

But Victoria Beckham did away with classroom chic as she walked the red carpet in Dubai.

The couple's public appearance together came as Beckham finally confirmed that his family will not be joining him when he launches his Italian career.

Fashionable: Victoria Beckham struts her stuff as she arrives for dinner

The former Spice Girl hid her sometimes skeletal frame under a billowing black Dolce and Gabbana dress when she accompanied husband David to an AC Milan dinner party.

With a corset-style top and huge skirt, the outfit swamped Victoria’s tiny figure as she arrived at the event on Saturday.

She finished off her look with trademark killer black heels and a floral tiara in her cropped dark hair.

Victoria, 34, looked glamorous as she stood by David’s side at the Italian football club’s party.

But the 33-year-old England star, who has signed with AC Milan for three months, was a little more dressed down in black trousers and a white polo shirt.

Earlier David told reporters that he family would be remaining in Los Angeles.

'Everyone knows how much I love my wife and my children, but at the same time I love football,' he said today.

'My children will remain in Los Angeles due to school and Victoria will remain with them.

'When she (Victoria) comes to Milan she will remain with me for a couple of days.'

David missed New Year with his wife and their three sons, to join AC Milan at their Middle East winter training camp.

The Italian soccer giants are being put through their paces ahead of a friendly match with German team Hamburg SV on January 6.

On New Year’s Eve the former England captain was seen struggling for breath as he ran in his socks in the sand. After every 30-second bout of rigorous exercise, he had to stop to recuperate.

But he looked a little more comfortable on Saturday night as he placed his arm around Victoria’s waist.

The former Spice Girl, nicknamed Posh, has recently been plugging her own dVb fashion range and stepping out in her own creations.

Last month she showed off three figure-hugging outfits in just 15 hours as she helped her husband settle in Milan.

The form-fitting designs, which cost between £1,600 and £1,900 emphasised her worryingly thin frame.

But this time around, Victoria left her own fashion line at home in favour of her wider Dolce and Gabbana number.

The singer recently spoke out against suggestions that her image has changed to fit in with laid-back LA style since her move to California last year.

She said: ‘It hasn't, not at all. I am very British in my style. Think school teacher.

‘I love pencil skirts and fitted blouses, classic cut dresses and well fitted jeans mixed
with classic tailoring.’

Victoria, who has famously claimed she does not own any flat shoes, launched her dVb line in September at New York Fashion Week.

She has also revealed that her look is influenced more by old fashioned style rather than the latest trend.

‘The 1950s icons had such class. I love the glamour and sophisticated style of Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn,’ she said.

David has signed up with Serie A side AC Milan for three months, during LA Galaxy’s off season.

The Italian club have one of the oldest squads in European football and their staff are known for prolonging the careers of the over 30s.
