© Photo: Getty ImagesVictoria Beckham is renowned for her 'no smiling' rule and her perfected signature pout - but she has been spotted sporting a toothy grin on a select few occasions.

"I want to be honest. In the past, I've probably hidden behind my armour – the not smiling publicly, for instance. There's less of that now," she told Glamour. And while there are plenty of shots of Victoria showing off her pearly whites during her Spice Girls years, it's still rare to catch VB cracking a smile in public these days – despite the fact that she's known for her fabulously wicked sense of humour.
