Last season’s trend: Louise Redknapp wore a Victoria Beckham dress last night which was from the previous Spice Girl’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection

The odd garment is described on Victoria’s website as a V-neck bell dress and contours a plunging neckline.

However, the brilliant shiny material resembled the famous purple chocolate from a tin of Quality Street and the loose skirt wasn’t so flattering either.

The mother-of-two made sure she was sporting a tan for the Retail Trust ball which was held at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.

Louise – who was married to Jamie Redknapp for 13 years – is thought for generally getting her style right but last night she didn’t accomplish that.
