Victoria and Katie lookin' svelteKatie recently enjoyed a vacation to Paris, France with her pal, Victoria Beckham, to check out the latest styles at the Paris fashion shows. The two indulged in designer clothing, fine dining, and diamond jewelry browsing throughout their stay.

The two women also met up with their mutual friend, Giorgio Armani, at the opening of his new boutique in the French capital after Victoria had earlier dropped in to catch the latest Chanel collection with German style guru Karl Lagerfeld.

Victoria and Katie were looking characteristically chic as they enjoyed themselves in the City of Light. The British star wore a simple prom-style dress with one of her hallmark oversize belts, while her companion was elegant in a black velvet number with matching high-necked jacket.

Victoria was also working out details to promote her cosmetics line in the states. The deal is reported to net Posh a cool $11 million or so. Katie, meanwhile, was merely there to enjoy a break from the demands of being Mrs. Tom Cruise.
