On April 17 fashion icon and British national treasure Victoria Beckham celebrates turning 51.
Though the former Spice Girl has been a sartorial muse since stepping onto the scene in her 90s girl band heyday (the possibility of forgetting hers and David's matching moments is near impossible), she cemented her status as a key figure in the fashion after starting her eponymous fashion line in 2008.

A-list fans from Sydney Sweeney to Julia Roberts and Meghan Markle are quite the testament to her success as a designer, but nothing quite says 'I've made it' than having a regular spot to present season collections during Paris Fashion Week twice per year.
“I want to evolve each season. I never want to be one of those brands where people know what they’re going to see, she said in an interview in 2015, "I always want an element of surprise. One thing I never want to do is copy what anybody else is doing. I have a signature, and it’s very important to me to stay true to that.”
The word 'signature' also rings true in terms of her personal fashion agenda. Form-fitting maxi dresses, two-piece suits tailored to perfection (notably in white) and her beloved pantaboots (the tights/leggings with built-shoes that we still can't quite get our heads around) - if she had a separate wardrobe for her go-to 'fits (maybe she does, who knows?) these items would be fundamental.
What Is Victoria Beckham's Signature Style?
Victoria Beckham's signature style epitomizes refined minimalism with a directional edge. Known for sleek tailoring, fluid silhouettes, and neutral palettes punctuated by bold statements, her look balances strength and elegance. Often spotted in high-waisted trousers, oversized sunglasses, and razor-sharp blazers, Beckham favours a polished aesthetic that feels modern and unfussy. Her namesake brand reflects this ethos - chic, intelligent, and quietly powerful.
Whether she's in muted co-ords or a bold red dress from her own line, Victoria’s style DNA is unmistakable: clean lines, luxe fabrics, and timeless cool.
How Does Victoria Beckham Stay Looking So Radiant?
"I do think the habits you've heard a million times work, like drink lots of water every day! I use my LED machine most nights and have really noticed a difference in my skin, but I have to ensure I am consistent using it," she told H! Fashion in the October-November 2024 Edition, "I have a few rituals that I do to supportmy everyday health, like a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar on an empty stomach in the morning. Then David and I usually have a green smoothie. We add spinach, broccoli, celery, cucumber, avocado, apple, lemon and ginger, so it's anti- inflammatory and full of antioxidants and fibre."
In honour of the style mogul's half a century, H! Fashion takes a look back at 51 of her most iconic outfits of all time...
Victoria Beckham's Most Iconic Outfits Of All Time:
