Every Single Time Victoria Beckham's Posh Fashion Was The Subject Of Our Style Envy

From pop star to posh designer. - by Ava Gilchrist
  • 19 Apr 2022

Ever since 1994—when Victoria Beckham donned her iconic little black Gucci dress for the first time—the multi-hyphenated popstar-cum-fashion-designer has held the public in the chokehold with her daring fashion choices.

At only 20 years old, Beckham was appointed the moniker Posh Spice and catapulted to stardom as one fifth of the biggest girl bands of the 90s, let alone all time. During this period, Victoria single handily pioneered the rise of the LBD, often in hypnotic prints and the slimmest fit.

Of course, Posh Spice’s wardrobe was the template for teenage girls everywhere, with a night out on the town not complete with sporting your very own sexy slip, monochromatic eyeliner and ultra-high heels.

Despite the Spice Girls breaking up in 1998, Victoria was already cementing herself as a bonafide WAG and taking up her new role as a mother, with an updated wardrobe to complete this style evolution.

Although we know her now for her pristine and posh silhouettes, Victoria’s style in the early noughts was the quintessential Y2K aesthetic. Her shared wardrobe with husband David Beckham propelled them to be dubbed the ultimate ‘It couple’—a feat they maintain to this day.

Of course, as a member of the celebrity style set, Victoria’s street style ensembles featured chainmail crop tops, silk camisoles, low slung pants, oversized sunglasses and a slick coat of fake tan.

However, in the late 2000s Victoria became a regular on the international fashion circuit, sitting front row at haute couture shows with her silhouette shifting to become more refined, sophisticated and contemporary.

By the time Victoria Beckham had debuted her own eponymous label, she was well on her way to becoming the fully fledged fashion designer with a signature silhouette that we all know and love her for.

Fast forward to now, Beckham’s uniform—including perfectly pleated (and über wide leg) trousers, statement top and blazer combination or one-and-done hyperfeminine dresses—remains the subject of our style envy.

Regardless of whether Victoria’s at the top of your celebrity style inspiration or you’re looking to replicate her posh style yourself, we’ve rounded up 21 of Victoria Beckham’s best style moments—including *that* mother-of-the-groom dress—of all time below.
