00:00 She never knows what I'm going to come home looking like.
00:02 Doesn't know what color the hair's going to be,
00:04 what I'm going to be dressed in.
00:06 David and Victoria Beckham always keep things fresh
00:08 with their romance and with their fashion.
00:11 The married stars have been a dynamic style duo for decades,
00:14 never afraid to take risks and set trends together.
00:17 Before she began dating David in 1997,
00:19 Victoria was already a style icon in her own right,
00:22 famous for her form-fitting mini dresses
00:24 and posh monochromatic looks.
00:26 David was best known for his sporty style
00:28 on the football pitch.
00:29 But when he and the Spice Girls songstress fell in love,
00:31 their fashion choices became totally in sync.
00:34 They coordinated in black for their engagement announcement.
00:36 David sported a sleek turtleneck overcoat and jeans,
00:39 while Victoria wore a mini dress and a fur-trim leather coat.
00:42 And, of course, her engagement ring.
00:44 -Is that true? -Yeah.
00:45 Yeah, it is. It's a surprise as well.
00:47 -The two kept the matching looks going,
00:49 adorably rocking near-identical leather fits
00:51 to a Versace party in 1999,
00:53 and both opting for black and denim
00:55 at a Whitney Houston concert that fall.
00:57 At a movie premiere the next year,
00:59 David and Victoria shut down the carpet in their bold looks.
01:02 The athlete chose a leather trench coat and an eggplant suit,
01:04 while the pop star wore a matching bustier and trousers,
01:07 a choker, and animal-print boots.
01:09 When posh and backs welcomed their first child,
01:11 son Brooklyn, they leaned into matching as a family of three.
01:14 At a Manchester United game,
01:16 little Brooklyn was his dad's mini-me
01:17 in a tiny number-seven jersey.
01:19 And Victoria showed off her pride for David's team
01:21 in a red leather jacket.
01:23 Leather was a big staple for the Beckhams in the early aughts,
01:25 as were cross necklaces.
01:27 They both wore one at the 2001 NRJ Music Awards.
01:30 David doubled up on his necklaces
01:32 at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards.
01:34 And while chatting with Axis on the red carpet,
01:36 he and Victoria reacted to the fan frenzy
01:38 surrounding their marriage and their impeccable style.
01:41 -Are you royalty yet in England?
01:42 'Cause that's what everybody thinks of you.
01:44 -Some people do, but, no, we're a lot more famous in England
01:47 around Europe than we are over here.
01:49 But, you know, it's just amazing to be over here.
01:51 -You know, I think it's just a bit of fun.
01:53 I think that, you know, that's what they say at home,
01:55 and I think you take it with a pinch of salt,
01:57 and we have good sense of humor.
01:59 -Later that year, David did end up getting
02:01 an Order of the British Empire honor from the Queen herself.
02:04 He and Victoria, of course,
02:05 dressed to the nines to receive the honor.
02:07 They went for classic British glamour.
02:09 David wore a morning suit and slicked his hair back,
02:11 while his stylish wife stunned in a dress/coat combo
02:14 and an elegant fascinator.
02:16 They upped their glam even further
02:17 at the 2005 Laureus Awards.
02:20 David opted for a traditional tuxedo
02:22 and let his wife shine in her romantic chartreuse gown.
02:25 In 2007, Victoria switched up her look,
02:27 swapping her long brown tresses for an edgy platinum pixie cut,
02:31 and she told "Access" about the inspiration behind the change.
02:34 -I like to change my image.
02:35 You know, I like to change the color of my hair
02:37 and change the way that I dress.
02:39 You know, I think fashion is about --
02:41 it's about experimenting.
02:43 It's about expressing yourself.
02:44 Fashion should be fun.
02:46 -She rocked her new 'do alongside David
02:47 at that year's Sport Industry Awards,
02:49 pairing it with a chic mini dress and platform heels,
02:52 while her husband coordinated with her to a tee.
02:54 David later dyed his hair platinum, too,
02:56 perhaps inspired by his trendsetting wife.
02:58 Though, as she told "Access,"
03:00 her man is the driving force behind his style.
03:02 -He's got a real --
03:03 I mean, he knows what looks good on him.
03:05 You know, I love clothes.
03:06 I love styling.
03:07 So, yeah, I buy a lot of clothes for him.
03:09 And, I mean, what a great model.
03:10 I mean, he looks good in anything that he puts on.
03:13 -In 2007, the Beckhams moved from Europe to Los Angeles
03:16 and brought their chic style across the pond.
03:19 They wowed at the 2008 Esbys and at that year's Met Gala.
03:22 When they launched their own fragrance,
03:24 they dressed to impress --
03:25 David in a pinstripe three-piece suit
03:27 and Vic in a gray mini dress,
03:28 thigh-high leather boots, and a brand-new 'do,
03:30 which her husband told "Access" he was a fan of.
03:33 -She always looks great.
03:34 You know, she inspires so many people, as well.
03:36 And she inspires me because she's the mother of my children.
03:39 So, you know, to have that is pretty incredible.
03:43 And, yeah, she looks amazing, as well.
03:45 -He never knows what I'm gonna come home looking like.
03:48 He doesn't know what color the hair's gonna be,
03:50 what I'm gonna be dressed in.
03:51 But it's good. It's good, yeah.
03:54 -Victoria and David passed their passion for fashion
03:56 on to their children.
03:57 Sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz look so adorably dapper
04:00 alongside their parents at the BBC Sports
04:02 Personality Awards in 2010.
04:04 In 2011, Victoria was pregnant with her
04:06 and David's fourth child, daughter Harper.
04:09 She dressed up her bump in an elegant navy dress
04:11 at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.
04:13 As the years progressed, their style continued
04:15 to get even more elevated and timeless.
04:18 They wowed at the 2014 Met Gala in elegant white looks
04:21 and both suited up in black
04:22 at the 2015 British Fashion Awards.
04:24 They also began mixing up their signature monochrome
04:26 with pops of color.
04:27 They went for contrasting fall hues
04:29 at 2018's Paris Fashion Week,
04:30 with David rocking navy in olive
04:32 and Victoria in orange and beige.
04:34 At the 2019 GQ Men of the Year Awards,
04:37 they complimented each other with black and white looks.
04:40 The red carpet icons also wowed with their street style,
04:43 opting for vibrant colors, fun accessories,
04:45 and, of course, oversized sunglasses.
04:47 They rocked bold shades at a French fashion show in 2023
04:50 and both chose breezy summer fabrics and open-toed shoes.
04:54 At the premiere of David's Netflix documentary that year,
04:56 they wore looks that epitomized their effortless elegance,
04:59 Victoria in a luxe white suit and David in a navy tux.
05:03 While years have passed and trends have changed,
05:05 their love for each other has stayed the same.
05:07 And when it comes to their decades as style icons,
05:10 that enduring status has just as much to do with their clothes
05:12 as who they are on the inside, as Anna Wintour told Access.
05:16 - He looks amazing, doesn't he?
05:17 What's his secret for being a style icon?
05:19 - He's a really good person.
