Let’s rewind to 1997, when a young man crosses paths with a young woman. The young woman feigns an interest in football as a means to strike up a conversation with the aspiring footballer. Their connection blossoms into a romantic relationship, and soon, they find themselves thrust into the limelight, becoming a favourite subject of the paparazzi. They embody the classic tale of a sports star dating a musician. However, what truly sets apart the journey of Posh and Becks is their remarkable ability to use fashion as a means of expressing not only their commitment to each other but also their determination to present a united front to the world.
1998
One year into keeping the public guessing about the status of their relationship, David finally takes the leap and proposes to Victoria. The couple decides to share the news with the world, appearing in coordinated all-black outfits. Posh Spice, in particular, opts for a fur-trimmed leather jacket and a black turtleneck. This also marks the first of 15 engagement rings that David will present to his wife throughout their marriage, featuring a dazzling three-carat marquisecut diamond set in yellow gold.
1999
One can’t easily forget the couple’s bold choice of coordinated bright purple outfits designed by Antonio Berardi for their wedding reception. The couple openly acknowledges this unconventional decision in their recent Netflix documentary, Beckham. Victoria’s satin fishtail gown with a strapless bodice and David’s double-breasted blazer along with flared trousers will go down as an odd but memorable choice. And then there’s the matching all-black Gucci biker jacket coordinated looks they donned.
