Business must be good! Victoria Beckham can't keep a huge smile off her face as she chats to customers at London store

She is renowned for her pouting poses but if there's one thing that can make Victoria Beckham smile, apart from her family, it's her flagship London store. 
The mother-of-four - who is married to David Beckham - stopped by her Dover St premises recently where she couldn't keep the huge smile off her face as she chatted to some shoppers. 
And not only was Victoria, 40, smiling, the popstar-turned-designer had her customers smiling with delight as they got up close and personal with one of the world's biggest stars.

There's a sight you don't see every day: Victoria Beckham couldn't keep the huge smile off her face as she chatted to customers at her London store recently 
Victoria ditched her signature pout for a genuine smile as she enjoyed her trip to her store, which only opened last month. 
Beckham was dressed down in black skinny jeans, a black top and ankle boots as she checked to make sure things were ticking over at her pride and joy.

And it looks like Victoria is keeping her promise to be a hands-on owner. 
Before the grand opening, she revealed plans to be heavily involved and said she may even rope in her family including husband David and son Brooklyn, 15, to help out. 
She told Grazia: 'I love retail - I'll be taking appointments with people... maybe go behind the till. Who knows maybe David will be on the door and Brooklyn will be a Saturday boy?'
She's got a way with the customers: Victoria had visitors to her shop smile as she chatted with them about the products

Victoria could not wait to open the 7,000 square feet store which stocks both her main collection, her spin-off range Victoria by Victoria Beckham, and accessories. 
And if things go well, it will be the first of many.
Speaking in 2012 about her plans, she told CNN Asia: 'People say, "Am I going to have my own store?" I would love to. That's what I'm working on at the moment.
My work here is done: After putting in some hard graft, it was time for Victoria to leave and she made a stylish departure

She might be a super busy working mum with four kids, a hubby and a fashion business to run, but Victoria Beckham has always got it in the bag when it comes to her sleek style.
The fashion designer looked as chic as ever on her latest visit to the new Dover Street store in a pair of black skinnies, black jumper and vertiginous Alaia boots, all tied together with a perforated laser cut bag from her own line, naturally.
Simply adding this high fashion accessory to an everyday look will accelerate your style points with very minimal effort – just look how it’s put a luxe stamp on Victoria’s staple all-black ensemble. She looks super Posh now.
Accented with a unique perforated pattern with contrast leather underlining, this bag should be showed off on the crook of your arm or over your shoulder to add a sleek new dimension and interest to a plain outfit. So nab it now with a click to the right for £1250 at Selfridges, or buy for a loved one (or yourself) as a Christmas present. It’s the ultimate gift.

'It would probably be in London, but in the not-too-distant future maybe it will be Hong Kong. Who knows?'
Speaking to Women's Wear Daily, Beckham revealed earlier this year that customers visiting the store will get an insight into the brand and the design process.
'I think the time is now because I know my customer,' she explained. 'It will be the first time that the people will really be able to see the brand through my eyes.'

The interior of the space has been given a new look by architect Farshid Moussavi, whose credits include the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland.
Plans included drilling a hole through the middle of the building to link the boutique's three floors and creating a conceptual interior.
'[Moussavi] is a woman who loves fashion as well,' she added. 'She has quite a conceptual eye, which I like.
'We want to make something different without making it overly complicated. I just want it to feel real for me.' 
Another successful day at the office: Victoria left her store with a bodyguard after getting to know some of her customers
