Victoria tries out a fruity new look as an under-ripe banana while David has a grey day

When you're teeny tiny enough to hide behind a lamppost, it can be hard to stand out from the crowd.

But Victoria Beckham never has any trouble. In the lurid citrus frock and heels she chose for a meal out with her husband David at the weekend, she could surely be seen for miles.

The 33-year-old Spice Girl teamed the items with cherry red toenails and her usual orange tan to give a true fruit bowl effect.

Mrs Beckham, a dedicated follower of fashion, was probably inspired by the neon shades all over the spring catwalks, although experts have warned against using them head to toe.

Squeezed into her tight flower-patterned dress Victoria Beckham pouted hand-in-hand with husband David, who looked ultra-conservative in a shirt, waistcoat and trousers.

The pair were visiting top London restaurant St Alban, but the footballer looked as if he would be more suited to waiting tables at the trendy venue than eating there.

Recently the couple have been said to be feeling the strain on their marriage as they spend so much time apart while Victoria continues touring with the Spice Girls and David has football commitments in LA.

The pair have also come under criticism for looking so glum. Victoria and David are often snapped looking stern and humourless as they go in and out of glamorous parties.

Their evening at the restaurant was no exception - there was not a smile between them.

Nonetheless, the meal at the St Alban restaurant in Mayfair must have been a welcome treat during her gruelling schedule of Spice Girls concerts.

They are at London's O2 arena until January 22 then move on to Manchester.
