The Fashion Evolution of David and Victoria Beckham in 14 photographs

Twenty years of matching hair cuts and sharing sarongs.

ON FRIDAY, BOOKIES suspended bets that one of the world’s most famous celeb couples – David and Victoria Beckham – would divorce.

A spokesperson for the couple quickly rubbished rumours, saying:

It’s a crock of a s***. Embarrassing and laughable.

Thank God, because one of the most solid links to our collective childhoods has been the fascinating and – more times than not – matching fashion choices of the couple we have come to know as Posh n Becks.

The two first met attending a charity football match. It was a simpler time: a time of two tone brown lipsticks and denim blazers.

In those pre-mobile phone days, Victoria Adams aka Posh Spice, wrote her numba on the back of a plane ticket David had on him. Each was already famous in their respect field and already fancied each other.

As David said in his autobiography:

“My wife picked me out of a soccer sticker book. And I chose her off the telly. It felt straight away like we’d always been meant to be together.”

Being famous in the news is the celeb version of tinder.

But the real reason they were always meant to be together was their shared love of outrageously trendy fashion. Here’s the rundown on twenty years of a shared passion.

4. Nothing screams the year 2000 more than a corset top, fake boobs, and a white boy wearing a do-rag

5. A second birthday party for Brooklyn thrown at the Wacky Warehouse, County Hotel in Chesire in 2001.

The co-ordination of the various shades of beige, browns, creams and golds must have taken weeks to prepare.

6. The 2003 MTV Movie Awards look is iconic

7. And the Oscar for best self-promotion goes to…

“Omg David, what an insane coincident that we’re both rocking a casual look of jeans, black blazers, white tees, ombre sunnies, silver necklaces, diamond studs when the paparazzi are about in Heathrow.”

8. Words fail me on how to describe this monstrosity of loose fabrics and drapping

David looks like he is having real trouble seeing clearly from behind his baker boy cap and sunglasses.

Quick scan for anything trendy….aaaaannnnnd…. no we’re good, this might still be a good look in 5 years time!

If the divorce rumours had been true, this could have been the last official couple photograph of Posh n Becks!
