Fashion Icon: Victoria Beckham

I have several style icons, but in my first installment of 'Fashion Icon,' I'm choosing to feature none other than Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham.  Not going to lie, I totally wanted be Posh back in the day when she was rocking strapless mini-dresses and stillettos.  I'm glad to say that she has evolved from her Spice Girl days into a true trend-setter, creating her own signature looks and even building a fashion empire of her own with her Victoria Beckham brand.  It is one of the most highly respected 'celebrity' clothing lines, as she has shown at fashion weeks around the world for years.  In February, she showcased the launch of her lower priced (but still not affordable to me) Victoria Victoria Beckham line at Paris Fashion Week.  I love Posh's street style- always sleek and polished.  Her looks are very minimalist, yet still interesting and fashion-forward.  She never even breaks a sweat carrying a baby around thats almost her size or shuffling four kids around LAX in 6-inch Louboutins.  She is in a word 'may-jah,' as she would say in her British accent, and the looks below are just a sample of what authenticates her as a fashion icon.


Victoria was doing the cape thing way before Gwyneth Paltrow's Tom Ford 2012 Oscar moment.

She can pull off any silhouette, from shift dresses to high waisted skinnies.

She often wears pieces from her own line, like these form fitting dresses.

She is effortlessly chic in black and white.


We don't see her a lot on the red carpet but she can do formal and still look really cool, never overworked or overdone.

She also happens to have the most gorgeous family on the planet.  Here they are, minus daughter Harper.  And there's Posh working it at the Olympics opening ceremony last year.
