David Beckham makes his Milan debut

We may already be used to seeing David Beckham on the Milanese pitch - but spotting him at his first Milan party was quite another thing altogther. Plus we reveal his other zeitgeist move.

After spotting fashion maven Suzy Menkes opting for a taxi instead of a driver and limo during Milan fashion week - we suggested chauffeur driven cars were a fad of the past.

Confirming the trend - we spotted David Beckham last night en-route to Milan's Gold restaurant behind the wheel of his own car. Celebrating the opening of the Extreme Beauty in Vogue exhibition together with American Vogue and designers Dolce & Gabbana – David seems to be asking the same question as we are - chauffeur what chauffeur?
