Posh Spice Victoria Beckham's favourite new designer, Christian Siriano, has been chosen to style a fashion show which will feature in new family film Eloise In Paris.
Siriano won the fourth season of reality TV show Project Runway and Beckham was among the judges who picked him.
She has since invited the 22 year old to her home in Los Angeles for a private styling session.
Siriano's creations will appear in the film's culminating scene, in which Eloise and Nanny, played by Jordana Beatty and Uma Thurman respectively, attend a catwalk show during Paris Fashion Week.

Nine-year-old Australian actress Jordana Beatty, selected just three weeks ago to play the title role in Eloise in Paris, has already made her first promotional appearance. On Tuesday Beatty arrived at New York's Plaza hotel, where the famous portrait of Eloise, taken down during the hotel's recent refurbishment, was rehung outside the Palm Court restaurant. The Plaza, the setting for Kay Thompson's Eloise novels (six-year-old Eloise lived on the top floor), reopened Sunday after undergoing three years of renovations that turned the hotel's original 805 rooms into 282 hotel rooms and 181 condominiums. Production of the movie -- presumably the hotel will have a role -- is due to begin in August.

A nine-year-old Australian girl has landed the lead role alongside Uma Thurman in a new movie version of children's tale Eloise In Paris.
Thurman - who will play Nanny in the new adaptation of the famous stories - will be joined by nine-year-old Jordana Beatty, whose only film credit to date is a fleeting appearance in 2006's Superman Returns.
Beatty beat more than 4,000 hopefuls for the role, including Sir Bob Geldof's adopted 11-year-old daughter Tiger Lily - the child of his late ex-wife Paula Yates and her late rocker boyfriend Michael Hutchence.
Eloise tells the tale of a six-year-old girl who lives in New York's Plaza hotel with her nanny. She first appeared in a series of 1950s novels by Kay Thompson.
