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.
