Victoria Beckham's models tower over her in Beijing

She made headlines last month when she proclaimed that her size six figure 'stood for the general public.'

But despite being a few dress sizes smaller than the average UK woman, Victoria Beckham did prove her point in other ways while posing with models in Beijing today.

The four models towered over the diminutive designer during a presentation of her most recent collection.

Despite wearing her trademark skyscraper heels, the 38-year-old was inches shorter than the girls, only reaching one's shoulders.

Perhaps her 5'4" frame is what Victoria was referring to when she revealed how she steps in to to represent her customer during fittings with her design team.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar recently, Victoria revealed: 'We always joke that we have this fabulously gorgeous 17-year-old model who is six-foot-whatever and then I say "OK, I’m going to put it on. I stand for the general public here".

Victoria appeared very aware of her diminutive stature during the presentation, tweeting another picture between two tall women, asking, 'Am I shrinking?'

Mrs Beckham has been in China to showcase her collection and promote the new Range Rover Evoque, which she co-designed.

She has been tweeting a number of behind-the-scenes images, including a snap of her hairstyle, created by friend Ken Paves.

The loose side braid was the style she chose for the collection showcase today, and she teamed the look with a black short-sleeved dress.

But one of Victoria's holiday s naps has been publicly criticised.

Mrs Beckham tweeted a picture of herself pretending to make an announcement during her flight to Beijing last week.

Sitting in the jump seat next to an air hostess, she held the phone to her ear and captioned the picture: 'Cabin Crew prepare for landing! Welcome to Beijing!'

The crewmember next to her was in on the joke, but a spokesperson for Cathay Pacific has criticised the move.

While confirming that Victoria did not actually sit in the jump seat for landing, or make a passenger announcement, the airline said it was 'inappropriate.'

'The passenger only posed for the picture. No public announcement was made,' the spokeswoman told the Hong Kong standard.

'It was inappropriate as ... the crew seats are only for the cabin crew and passengers should not be allowed to touch any of the aircraft equipment.'

Victoria has been keeping up a hectic schedule combining promoting her own brand and the Range Rover during her stay in China.

Victoria designed and launched the special new limited edition ‘baby’ off-roader Range Rover bearing her name and aimed at well-heeled customers.

The vehicle also aims to woo the super-rich and growing middle class of China where the first models will be sold.

And with a price tag of £80,000 - or around double the cost of the equivalent standard Evoque â€" buyers will pay heavily for the privilege of owning one of just 200 exclusive 4x4s created.

She'd gain about 6 inches if she unfolded herself from that ridiculous pose she insists on standing in.

She's tiny!

Oh yawn, bore, another day in the life of Posh, how more exciting a life can this woman live? One would think she would want to be home with her sons, not dragging her daughter around the world, goodness if anyone can afford to stay home it is her, and it would be so nice if she did as quite honestly sick of the sight of her, would not be so bad if she actually looked like she was enjoying life, alas not, another day, no smiles, another day, same pose, she really is not original is she, dull comes to mind.

STOP POSING WOMAN,GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't find those dresses fashionable at all. The collars and pockets are downright juvenile.

As if she actually 'designs' those clothes herself! Hilarious! I'd be surprised if she even held a pencil!!

Yeap, I've met her and she's very tiny!

I wonder what VB's feelings are about CONSTANTLY having articles about her in DM or is she even aware of it? Some of the comments are pretty hurtful critical too, however, when you put yourself "Out There" you have to be prepared for whatever is said about you I suppose.

I bet she's learnt the art of picking up a grain of rice with chopsticks.

Reminds me of Star Trek.
