Let's face it: What's not to love about Victoria Beckham? She's a style icon, she's got a sense of humor that's surprised us in documentaries and Instagram, she's a devoted wife and mother of four. Not to mention she's built a successful fashion brand without relying on Spice Girls fame.
But even fashion icons have a "chapter of shame" in their wardrobe file. And in Victoria's case, there are some dresses that would have made even the bride disappear from embarrassment. We're talking about the outfits she chose for the biggest weddings of the last two decades - from Tom Cruise's wedding to the royal one, to her son's wedding. Yes, this shame happens to style icons too.
The red flame for Elton John's wedding
In 2005, Elton John married David Furnish, and among the guests at Windsor was Victoria, who chose to do everything to not go unnoticed. A red Cavalli dress, combined with a leopard-print scarf. All this gave the wedding a "Met Gala in the middle of England" flavor. The dress revealed more than necessary and looked like it was designed for a 90s video - not for a love ceremony.
Look at the "ballerina in identity crisis" at Tom Cruise's wedding
For Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's Italian wedding, Victoria came in an unusual look. A ballerina skirt (yes, yes, a tutu) and a transparent blouse. It's true that there is no strict dress code for guests, but this combination was more "stage costume" than wedding attire. Flirty, fun, but with zero percent wedding flavor.
Black for horse racing (not for a friend's wedding)
Victoria changed outfits at Tom Cruise's wedding and came back in a strapless black dress, elegant and classic. So far, so good. Then she ruins it all with a hat. The only problem? This wasn't a horse race. Imagine sitting behind her during the ceremony. #impossibleforthebride
A slightly excessive haircut at Meghan and Harry's royal wedding
At Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, Victoria chose navy blue again - just like at William and Kate's. The problem? Same color, same energy, but this time with a cleavage-baring cut, in broad daylight, at a royal wedding. To us, this was more "red carpet" than "royal wedding."
The same dress for two weddings
In 2022, Victoria fell in love with a dress that looked like it had come straight from the luxury lingerie drawer. A white silk gown for her friend Edward Enninful's wedding – where, no matter the theme, white remains a no-go zone for guests. Victoria wore the same dress (but in silvery blue) to her son Brooklyn's wedding. And to be honest – yes, it looked beautiful, but... maybe a little more beautiful than is "allowed" for a mother of the groom.
