Few celebrities have successfully transitioned from pop star to respected designer. The fashion industry is brutal, and entering from the “outsider” comes with many obstacles. However, Victoria Beckham did it. The former Spice Girl found her place in the fashion world and her brand experienced tremendous growth throughout the 2010s.
Today she's known for her perfectly curated style, but while her stylistic transformation is admirable, that doesn't mean Posh Spice has always been immune to fashion blunders. Her most famous blunder remains wearing the wrong outfit to her son Brooklyn's wedding, a moment Victoria will probably never forget, because people will always remind her of it. But that wasn't her only bad choice over the years.
And for this very reason, we're taking a look at some outfits that show that Victoria Beckham is just a woman trying to understand fashion, like the rest of us.
The zebra dress that looked like a nightmare
The 2000s were a fashion-mad era, and compared to others, Victoria's style was often relatively understated. But on the pink carpet of the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, she went overboard. The zebra-print dress, paired with a pink bra and metallic heels, was an over-the-top look , even by the standards of the event. The result? A look that was eye-watering.
The “Christmas” look worn in September
In September 2022, Victoria was photographed in Paris with her daughter Harper, wearing a dark green dress, combined with bright red accessories. A typical festive palette, except for the fact that it was early fall. The red boots and feather detail made the combination look even more confusing. Spoiler : feather sleeves do not save any outfit.
The oversized dress that "swallowed" Victoria
As a designer, Victoria should know how important proportions are. However, in 2019, on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, she appeared in a midi dress that was too big for her petite frame. The result? She looked shorter and completely lost in the dress.
Beachwear at a Spice Girls event (in London!)
In 2000, during the launch of the album "Forever", Victoria appeared in a bikini top, a miniskirt with stones and a transparent blouse. The problem? The event was held in London, in the fall, not at some tropical resort.
When the wrong accessories ruin everything
At a Jacquemus fashion show in Versailles in 2023, Victoria wore an interesting asymmetrical dress, but futuristic glasses and gray open-toed boots ruined the whole combination. A mix of styles that never came together in a coherent combination.
The bandana that wasn't "posh" at all
In 2000, Victoria was photographed in Los Angeles wearing cargo pants, a white T-shirt, and a bandana, the famous headscarf, from Burberry. Years later, she herself admitted that she would never wear it today. And we understand why.
The "pantsless" outfit at Glamour Women of the Year
No list of gaffes is complete without this moment. In 2007, Victoria was named Woman of the Year, but she showed up in a black corset and pants so short they looked like underwear. Not elegant, but definitely memorable.
The multi-piece dress that didn't work
In 2018, in New York, Victoria appeared in a dress loaded with different styles. An outfit that would probably suit Rihanna, but not Victoria, especially combined with green heels.
Stretch + massive leather belt = fashion crime
At a Chanel show in 2007, Victoria fully embraced the Y2K aesthetic: knee-length leggings, a black blouse, a massive belt, plus a short blue-green jacket. Even for the era, it was an over-the-top look.
Big pajamas that just looked messy
In 2017, the streetwear trend was at its peak. But Victoria's pink Barbie version, with its extra-long sleeves and pants, looked more like a "just got out of bed" look than a modern look.
