Emily Ratajkowski and Alexa Chung were among the glamorous pals who turned out to support Victoria Beckham at the launch event for her Mango clothing collection launch in Spain on Tuesday.
Proving that the designer’s friendship circle remains among the most stylish in showbusiness, the model cut a chic figure in a plunging black trouser suit as she arrived for the swanky dinner in Barcelona.
Posting a gallery of snaps from the evening, Victoria penned the caption: ‘Such an amazing night celebrating #VictoriaBeckhamxMango!
‘I’m wearing the tailored white suit from the new collection. Kisses xx.’
As she headed into the launch, Emily documented her night out by snapping the view on her phone.

Also among those arriving for the event was Adwoa Aboah, who happily embraced Victoria outside the launch.
The British model opted for a muted ensemble, consisting a cream jacket and camel flares, and posed for a fun Instagram snap with Emily at the launch.
During the celebratory evening, Alexa put on a leggy display in a sexy white silk co-ord as she shared a glimpse of herself getting ready for the party held near Girona on the Costa Brava.
She teamed the skimpy co-ord with a smart black blazer, sheer tights and stilettos to boost her height.
Alexa penned in the caption as she got her glam on for the evening out: ‘Boop! In my outfit already. The early bird catches the @victorisbeckham @mango collection…’
Dressed in a chic £180 white suit jacket and matching trousers, Victoria proudly posed for promotional snaps and images ahead of the launch event.
She also shared a sweet embrace with her son Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend Mia Regan, after the model was noticeably absent from the designer’s 50th birthday bash over the weekend.
Her first foray onto the high street, the new collection is priced at just a tenth of the price of Victoria’s own label after it’s said she wants to become ‘more relatable’.

A transparent black silk dress is priced at £210 and she has also launched a range of accessories including £120 leather sandals, £140 high heels and a £60 handbag.
The Spice Girl is focusing on her high street collaboration with Mango, her first foray into the affordable market.
Her trademark slip dresses, knitwear and tailoring have been reacreated at a more purse-friendly price point, compared to the £90 she charges for a t-shirt from her eponymous label, which was launched in 2008.
Victoria revealed in an interview with WWD that she had decided to work with Mango to ‘speak to a wider audience in a way that feels relevant to my brand and retains my aesthetic and DNA’.
And in an interview with Vogue last week she insisted she hasn’t compromised on quality, promising that ‘when you invest in one of these pieces, you won’t just wear it for one season, they’ll be pieces you’ll keep in your wardrobe and wear time and time again.’
Calling the collection ‘timeless’ Victoria gushed: ‘I think people will be very surprised by how strong the fashion message is in every single garment.’
Fans were quick to share their excitement about the collection with many claiming on Victoria’s Instagram post to have already bought some items.
‘I love the entire collection, just placed my order,’ one person commented.
Another said: ‘It’s absolutely stunning, dresses are so feminine and elegant️, just got one!’
And industry experts agree that a move to the high street is exactly what designers like Victoria should be focusing on.

Speaking to Harpers Bazaar this week Dr Bethan Alexander, Reader in Fashion Retailing & Marketing at the Fashion Business School, London College of Fashion said there are huge benefits to both the designer and the high street shops.
‘A designer collaboration is a viable opportunity to increase market share while the designers maintain their market position,’ she explained.
‘The luxury market is facing unprecedented challenges right now, so it’s especially important. Maintaining sales is difficult, but the quick, relatively easy cash injection from collaborations is appealing.’
The Mail on Sunday revealed Victoria called in ‘the mother of all returns’ after the collapse of fashion group Matches.
Victoria s team at her own label demanded that the online retailer send back all of their summer stock that she sent to them in March – only to learn days later the company had collapsed.
Victoria Beckham X Mango will be available to shop from 23 April at Mango.com.
