Victoria Beckham has been a fashion icon for decades and as she turns 5o on April 17, we’re looking back on her most famous looks through the years.

When Victoria’s fame first began, she was best known as Posh Spice in British girl band, Spice Girls. The band’s distinct looks and daring fashion made them style icons of the era, and beyond. Victoria most definitely lived up to her monkier with looks that were sleek, sultry and very, well, posh!

As Victoria’s relationship with soccer star David Beckham took off in the late 90s, the stars frequently found themselves on the covers of tabloid magazines thanks to their co-ordinated fashion.

Then, after over a decade of iconic looks and trendsetting, Victoria launched her fashion label under her own name, solidifying her place in the fashion industry.

To celebrate Victoria’s 50th birthday, and her life in general, we’re looking back on her fashion through the years!
