more Victoria and David BeckhamAnd the bride wore…platforms (course she did!) but everything else about that wedding gown worn by 25-year old Victoria Beckham in July 1999 was more fairytale than footballer's wife.
Not to mention posh! When the former Spice Girl married football legend, David, in a private ceremony in Ireland (photographed by OK! magazine), the big story was THE DRESS! In classy champagne silk -with no frills or flashy sequins in sight - the Vera Wang creation with its 20-foot train, hinted at the style-conscious frockstar emerging from chavvy popstar.
Estimated to have cost £50,000, the boned corset gave Victoria a 20 inch waist just four months after giving birth to baby Brooklyn, who was ring bearer, wearing ivory breeches and a jacket matching Dad's (David wore top-to-toe ivory with matching highlights). With her pixie haircut and Queen Titania-style £120,000 18-carat gold and diamond tiara created by Slim Barrett, Victoria rocked the fairy vibe to the max.
Photographed poised on gilded thrones with Brooklyn in a crib, the Beckhams' confirmed their status as celebrity royalty. Ten years on the romance has endured and as we all now know, she has seriously upped the ante on her style choices.
