How super-skinny Eva Longoria made Posh look normal-sized...and demanded to be to taken to Topshop

What's the quickest way for a woman to look thinner - how about standing next to someone bigger than yourself.

Well that appears to be the approach taken by Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria.

The 32-year-old pal of Spice Girl Victoria Beckham is so thin, she makes the ultra-skinny Posh look normal-sized.

Normal-size Posh: Ultra-thin Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, seen here with pal Victoria Beckham at the Spice Girls reunion show in Manchester last night, makes usually skinny-looking Victoria look normal-sized


The pair, who have become firm friends since the Beckhams' move to Los Angeles, hugged as they met up backstage at the Spice Girls reunion show at Manchester's MEN Arena.

"Eva is a huge Spice Girls fan," a source told Mail Online, adding that the Desperate Housewives star had been longing to see her favourite group perform live.

"She said it was the highlight of her trip to the UK," added the source.

And despite her status as a multi-million pound actress, it seems that Eva has not lost the common touch.

After leaving Claridge's hotel in Mayfair, the Desperate Housewives star demanded to taken to high-street store Topshop.

She was accompanied by her hairdresser Ken Paves and several friends, who helped the star pick out a number of garments.

Eva eventually emerged from the shop in Oxford Street with members of her entourage carrying three bags stuffed with clothes.

The 32-year-old actress flew to London for the UK premiere of her new film Over Her Dead Body, and later made a detour to Manchester's MEN Arena for the Spice Girls return to the north of England.

Meanwhile Victoria who posed alongside Eva in her gold corset outfit told The Manchester Evening News: "I have such fond memories of living in Manchester.

"So I'm really excited to be here, and I've got all three kids with me and David.

"And some of his friends from the team are here to spice up their lives."

But any fans hoping the girls money-spinning reunion might spark a return to the music world for the most famous of the five girls, Victoria made it clear she was finished with music.

Victoria said: "For me personally, I would not want to be in the music industry any more. It's not a very nice industry to be in. What we are doing is fun - on tour, having a laugh with each other with our families around us."

Yesterday, it was revealed the Spice Girls have each pocketed £10 million from their 17-night run of sell-out gigs at the London's O2 Arena.

The reunited pop group played their final London gig in the former Millennium Dome in Greenwich last night before heading to Manchester last night.

The unprecedented success of the concerts has left Victoria, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell dividing a £50 million payday.
