Speaking to the camera in a candid revelation, the fashion mogul said: "Versace, Prada, and Gucci, they were my go-to designers. What was it they were getting right at the time? I suppose they really understood the power of celebrity.

"The Italians embraced that. When I first met David in 1997 he'd heard that I was the Spice Girl that liked the designer clothes." 

While David and Victoria are now happily married, in the BECKHAM documentary, the former England captain shared how nervous he was to go on a date with his future wife, having seen her perform with the Spice Girls on the TV and pointing Victoria out as the one he was going to marry. 

In the documentary, Victoria shared how his nerves actually helped impress her. She continued: "So, after me going to a couple of football matches and me pursuing him – he'd probably say me stalking him – we arranged to go out on a date together.

"He's like: 'I don't know what to wear, she's the one who likes designer clothes,' and so he actually went out and bought himself a full Prada look for our first date, to impress me. Which it did, because it was Prada." 

The former Spice Girl went on to welcome son Brooklyn with David on 4 March 1999, and the couple tied the knot in *those* purple wedding outfits in a ceremony at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland exactly four months later.

As they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this year, the couple recreated their wedding photos by digging out their wedding clothes and taking photos in the same thrones used in their 1999 wedding. 

Victoria wore her deep purple asymmetrical Antonio Beradi gown with ruffles and flowers, while David donned his double-breasted purple suit and purple suede shoes, writing: "Look what we found..." in an Instagram post sharing the photos.

They even shared one where Brooklyn, who accompanied his parents for their wedding in a sweet purple suit and matching top hat, was replaced with a teddy bear.
