Victoria Beckham on Roberto Cavalli's yachtVictoria Beckham on Cavalli's yachtWith the plans for pop domination coming to a halt, Victoria Beckham has made another huge leap in her burgeoning fashion career.

And she's been chilling on a £20 million yacht to celebrate a big money deal with a top designer.

In straw stetson, far-too-big sunglasses, bikini and white shirt, the one-time Spicer has been seen enjoying the boat-based hospitality of Italian clothing king Roberto Cavalli.

And the champagne-swilling, luxurious food and cigar-smoking (yep, Posh was spotted having a puff on a Cuban) is thought to be in celebration of a golden handshake between the Brit tabloid-hogger and the designer-de-jour.

Sienna Miller and Brittany Murphy, both self-confessed Cavalli junkies, will no doubt be green with envy.

Also on board the yacht for the sunkissed trip off Sardinia was former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson.

Vicky's own personal sports hero, meanwhile, missed out on all the luxurious festivities.

David was away training with Real Madrid. Gutted.
