Victoria Beckham's 40th Birthday and Her 9 Poshest Looks
It’s
hard to write about the women you love, but today, the 40th birthday of
noted designer and former pop star and music sensation Victoria Beckham, is
certainly an occasion worth noting. As she prepares to celebrate in
low-key fashion with friends and family tonight in Los Angeles, we look
back at Mrs. Beckham’s poshest wardrobe picks over the years, tracing
her evolution from slinky and sexy dresses to the subdued sheaths that
have become a chic signature for her eponymous line. Her crowning moment
came at her wedding to soccer star David Beckham
in a custom Vera Wang replete with tiara. But the singer toned things
down in favor of au courant ensembles including a bi-color slip dress at
the VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards, while at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art Costume Institute’s gala for “Goddess,” she donned a neo-Grecian
frock from Dolce & Gabbana
with free-flowing hair. Playing with hair color, Beckham went bold and
blonde at the civil partnership ceremony for friends Sir Elton John and
David Furnish, and accented her fur coat with an dazzling display of
diamonds. Shortly thereafter, she debuted a new shorter cut at the
wedding of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, showing off her physique in a
strapless Giambattista Valli
dress and Philip Treacy hat. And in 2006 Beckham captivated the red
carpet at the Met Gala in a strapless Roland Mouret dress that
complemented her ruby and diamond necklace. At the Met Gala in 2008—the
same year she showed her first Victoria Beckham collection—the designer
and husband David were the golden couple in custom ensembles from Giorgio Armani. Though perhaps it was at 2009's “The Model as Muse” Met Gala when Beckham, balanced whimsy and elegance in Marc Jacobs,
fully solidifying her standing a fashion force to be reckoned with.
While recent years have seen Victoria Beckham opt for tame tones, we
love how she makes something as simple as a navy dress seem sensual yet
appropriate. In heels, of course.
