Victoria Beckham was the belle of the ball when she and her husband David were invited to Highgrove House, King Charles’ beloved private residence in The Cotswolds, for an intimate black-tie dinner on Friday evening.
The fashion designer opted for statement glamour for the star-studded occasion held in honour of the King’s Foundation.
“Celebrating UK-Italy relations, slow food and sustainable fashion with The King and Queen at @highgrovegarden last night,” read a post shared by the monarch’s official account on Instagram.

With angelic open flutter sleeves, statement ruching along the hips and a fluid, rippling skirt, the former Spice Girl was the image of a modern bride in her ivory ensemble.
Most striking, however, was the mother-of-four’s choice of hair for the regal occasion. Victoria swept her brunette tresses into a neat, sky high ponytail, parting her hair in the centre for sleek symmetry.

Victoria’s ‘Posh’ hair transformation

It wasn’t until she shared a family snapshot on Instagram that eagle-eyed fans noticed the striking transformation, marking the shortest her signature locks have been in years.

Ever the style muse, Victoria later took to Instagram to gush, “Fresh new haircut! Love you @kenpaves.”

Sleek, polished, and always immaculately styled, the chocolate brown cut with bleach blonde highlights became her signature, exuding an air of quiet luxury long before the term was a trend.
Whether paired with a black satin bustier or that statement purple wedding dress, the structured bob added to her aura of effortless sophistication. It was the kind of haircut that didn’t just follow fashion, it set the tone for an entire generation of 90s cool-girl beauty.
