In honour of the recent release of the new documentary series ‘Beckham’, it seems fitting to delve into some of the past outfits of our beloved Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham. With her own successful clothing brand, she has become an enduring fashion icon, embodying the spirit of “WWVBD” (What Would Victoria Beckham Do?). So, continue reading to gain valuable fashion advice as I unpack some of my favourite outfits of hers, most of which are suitable for the current autumnal temperatures.
Victoria Beckham’s iconic monochromatic outfits, particularly in the color black during her time in the Spice Girls, left a lasting impression. So, it feels fitting to begin this blog post with one that embodies her signature style. This outfit showcases flattering silhouettes, combining a low-rise mini skirt with a full-length top. Despite its simplicity, the variation in materials adds depth and dimension to the ensemble while maintaining its concise and stylish appeal.
This outfit strikes an ideal balance between business and casual aesthetics. The fitted suit is complemented by the flaring trouser legs, creating a figure-accentuating look. The ensemble is completed with a simple black top layered underneath the blazer, ensuring comfort without compromising on style. To tie the look together, a pair of black sunglasses are added, enhancing the chic and sophisticated vibe.
This look is undoubtedly one of Victoria Beckham’s best. Despite its simplicity, it exudes a remarkable level of sophistication. The short sleeves on the dress add a unique touch, as it’s not commonly seen in current trendy dresses. The leg slit feature acts as the focus, although quite high, it is balanced exceptionally well with the overall conservative aesthetic of the rest of the look. This combination creates a harmonious and stylish ensemble that highlights Victoria Beckham’s timeless sense of fashion.
Lingerie dresses gained popularity briefly when the Y2K fashion trend made a comeback. However, it seems that the execution fell short, as many companies focused more on fast fashion and less on quality. Therefore, it would be wonderful to witness a resurgence of lingerie dresses being worn in a more stylish and sophisticated manner, just as Victoria does here, highlighting their true beauty and elegance.
I’m obsessed with this two-piece that Victoria is wearing in this photograph. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I have recently developed a strong affinity for beige and taupe tones, and this look manages to incorporate them perfectly. The outfit is complemented with pops of colour in the flowers and along the hemlines. Victoria cleverly ties it all together with her choice of red strappy heels, creating a flawless ensemble.
This Matrix-esque look is undeniably iconic and I hope it inspires you as well. The coordination between the coat, sunglasses, and skirt is truly brilliant, exuding confidence and classicism. This sophisticated and cohesive ensemble is then beautifully contrasted by the dynamic autumnal pattern of her top and the boots, both of which complement each other brilliantly. Victoria Beckham effortlessly showcases her ability to blend classic elements with modern flair, resulting in a truly remarkable and fashion-forward outfit.
Once again, we see Victoria wearing a long coat, but this time in a rich chocolate brown shade. She cleverly uses this coat as the foundation for coordinating the rest of her look. It’s worth noting that you can easily recreate this type of ensemble and substitute the colours to suit your own preferences and what flatters you the most. This brown-toned outfit is a perfect choice for autumn, as it creates a cosy and stylish ensemble that embraces the seasonal vibes.
This outfit is incredibly cute and simple, making it easy to put together. Waistcoats have recently made a comeback, but it’s rare to see them paired with mini denim shorts. Victoria Beckham, once again, demonstrates her mastery of balancing business and casual elements effortlessly. She pairs the waistcoat with the shorts, creating a unique and stylish combination. To complete the ensemble, she accessorises with an iconic Birkin bag, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall look.
This outfit showcases a softer femininity that we have not seen much of before in Victoria’s looks. She embraces cowboy boots (that are currently trending), pairing them with a brown skirt. To create a flattering silhouette, she cleverly extends her white top longer than the waistband of the mini skirt. This styling choice adds a touch of sophistication and enhances the overall appeal of the outfit.
The final look I chose to include in this blog post is one of Victoria’s iconic airport outfits. She demonstrates her awareness that the color brown is highly flattering to her complexion and hair color, as evident in this outfit and many others mentioned earlier. The midi dress she wears is skillfully paired with wedges, sunglasses, and bags in a range of brown shades. This ensemble serves as a testament to the idea that regardless of the occasion, it is always important to dress to impress.
Exploring some of Victoria Beckham’s iconic outfits has showcased her undeniable influence and status as a fashion icon. From her monochromatic ensembles to her clever combinations of business and casual elements, Beckham’s style consistently exudes sophistication and confidence. Whether it’s embracing trends like lingerie-inspired dresses or putting her own spin on classic pieces, Victoria Beckham continues to inspire and set the bar high in the fashion world. Through admiring her impeccable style, there’s no denying the impact she has made in the industry.
