The 52-year-old fashion designer appeared in a video filmed while she was riding around the city with Rassi, 44, who asked her about her experiences of navigating New York.

When asked whether she had ever used public transport or taken the subway, Beckham replied: “I have never but I hear it’s very efficient.”

Beckham admitted she did not know what that was, adding: “I don’t know what that is but I’ll take your word for it.”

The shoes cost £620 and featured a heel measuring 115mm, which Beckham considered suitable for wearing while on the move.
