Victoria Beckham gave us a lesson in how to wear a little black dress at 51

For a performance in Bali in 1997, Victoria showcased her early sartorial prowess in a fitted mini dress with spaghetti straps. It may have been in a midnight blue shade, but this marked the start of what would become her LBD journey.

Black dresses needn’t be boring, as VB proved with her psychedelic black and white swirls at the Spice World tour. There’s no taking our eyes off the singer’s captivating look!

Promoting hit single ‘Out Of Your Mind’ at the Astoria in London, Victoria posed for photos in a corset dress, which was the height of nineties and noughties style. The delicate straps under the illusion strapless neckline and the fitted bodice led into a micro skirt adorned with florals and daring leg splits.

Even after the Spice Girls disbanded in February 2001, Posh Spice’s penchant for corsets continued, with her donning a lace-up top and flowing skirt at The Royal Albert Hall. Amping up the glamour, Victoria added red lipstick that offset her blonde highlights and silver strappy heels.

By 2007, when the Spice Girls announced their worldwide concert tour, the Return of the Spice Girls, Victoria had cemented her place as a fashion icon, leaning into her trademark style and embracing even shorter hems and more daring skyscraper heels.

Pushing the fashion boundaries, she wore a micro mini that cinched her figure and skimmed her underwear, accessorising with towering heels and a cropped white jacket.

Alongside her fitted bodice, David Beckham’s wife rocked a bustle skirt on the red carpet, showcasing her tanned legs.

Proving the classic black dress is a timeless option for any occasion, the now-mother-of-four sported a sparkly flapper-style frock with a fringed hem at the Roberto Cavalli flagship store opening.

Victoria has long been an advocate for clean, simple lines, but she has experimented with texture in the past. Case in point, her heart-adorned black and white waist-cinching mini from Marc Jacobs at the 2008 CFDA Fashion Awards.

In 2012, the Spice Girls reunited for the Summer Olympics closing ceremony, and Victoria took the opportunity to wear her favourite LBD style. Strapless, sparkly and semi-sheer with a ruffled train, the Giles Deacon design had all the features you’d expect from a glitzy performance.

Victoria launched her eponymous label in 2008, but by 2013 it had grown into a successful brand featuring on runways and in celebrity wardrobes. What better way to prove the brand is “rooted in modernity with a sophisticated ease” than stepping out at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in a mini dress with a simple high neckline and peep-toe sock boots.
