BRITISH singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham said she was "very excited" at being appointed creative design executive at automaker Range Rover.

The new role was announced at the 40th birthday celebrations of the brand at London's Kensington Palace.

A smaller, sleeker model called the Range Rover Evoque was also unveiled at the celebrity party, co-hosted by fashion magazine Vogue.

Beckham will work on a special edition of the Evoque, and called the vehicle "absolutely stunning."

The former Spice Girls star said she was looking forward to "everything" about the collaboration, and added, "I don't know where to start ... It's an incredible opportunity I've been given. I'm very excited."

The Evoque will go on sale summer 2011 and was marketed as the "greenest" Range Rover yet.



Wearing a shimmering champagne-colored dress and sporting a sleek beehive hairstyle, Beckham told those gathered for the garden party: "I like to take on a challenge and I'm ready for it.

"I am honored to take on this role and be part of the creative team."

Land Rover and Range Rover design director Gerry McGovern said of his newest coworker, "She knows a lot about fashion and a lot about trends, a lot about luxury products."
