Clearly proving wrong anyone who thinks she is trying to shake-off her pop star image, the fashion designer, 44, went danced up a storm, drink in hand, alongside the drag queens.

The Spice Gurrls donned typical ensembles for their performance, emulating Victoria and her fellow band-mates, Mel B, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Mel C.
