  • David and Victoria Beckham have been together for over 20 years and share three children.
  • Since the noughties, the pair haven't shied away from experimenting with daring fashion.

David and Victoria Beckham have been married for 24 years — and during that time, they've delivered some seriously memorable style moments.

Early into their relationship, the soccer star and the Spice Girls singer-turned-designer have made clear they aren't afraid to be playful with their fashion and use it to express themselves as a couple. At their 1999 wedding, for example, the pair famously stepped out at the reception — with their son Brooklyn — in coordinating, eggplant ensembles.

But their wedding was only the start of over two decades of big fashion moments for the Beckhams.

Victoria may regret her and David's biker outfits from 1999, but they are proof that a couple that matches together, stays together.

During a 2022 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," Victoria revealed a big regret about the all-leather ensembles she and David wore to a Versace event in 1999: that the outfits were Gucci.

"It does haunt me, but I love it," she said, discussing the matching looks on a segment of the program called "So Posh or Oh Gosh."

"It was hot, we were wearing Gucci, it was a Versace dinner, which is inappropriate in itself," Victoria said. "There was a naiveté to it that was so sweet."

David wore a brown leather trench coat to a 2000 film premiere in London that subtly coordinated with Victoria's strapless pantsuit.

The couple turned up to a screening of "Withnail and I" in London in coordinating taupe and brown outfits.

David opted for a "Matrix"-style, floor-length trench coat with brown suit shoes, while Victoria wore a strapless pantsuit featuring a corset. She accessorized with zebra-printed, heeled boots and a beige choker.

For their appearance at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards, the couple opted for coordinating ivory looks on the red carpet.

Incorporating several Y2K trends in one outfit, Victoria arrived at the MTV Music Awards in 2003 in a floor-length, ivory gown with a corset-style bodice and a lace that ran down from the center of her dress and creating a daring neckline. The Dolce & Gabbana dress also featured spaghetti straps and a knee-high slit. She wore the look with strappy, silver heels, and drop earrings.

David complemented her outfit in a white suit with satin accents, a deep V-neck shirt, silver jewelry, and brown shoes.

Not all of the Beckhams' best fashion moments were matching looks. At an awards ceremony in 2005, David wore a classic tuxedo that let Victoria's ethereal, green gown shine.

At the Laureus World Sports Awards held in May that year in Portugal, Victoria wore a moss-green gown adorned with gold-leaf embellishments. The gown featured a low-cut neckline, a flowing cape, and a sheer skirt with multiple, thigh-high slits. She wore a pair of heeled sandals in the same shade of green.

David went for a slightly more subdued outfit, which consisted of a classic black tuxedo and white dress shirt with a bow tie. He wore patent-leather, black shoes and wore his short hair slicked back.

For their first Met Gala outing as a couple in 2008, the Beckhams wore glamorous Giorgio Armani looks.

David and Victoria stepped out in subtly coordinating Giorgio Armani looks for their Met Gala debut, as Marie Claire reported.

Victoria wore a vintage, bridal-style piece from the '80s: a floor-length, sheer gown with long sleeves, a thigh-high slit, and a suit jacket-like bodice. She added a pop of color with a red lip, silver, strappy heels, and a silver clutch.

Meanwhile, David kept it classic in a timeless black tux with velvet lapels, a crisp-white shirt, and an oversized bow tie.

The couple nailed preppy fashion with matching gray ensembles at the launch of their fragrance collection in New York City in 2008.

David wore a three-piece, gray suit with brown pinstripes with a white shirt and black tie for the occasion.

Meanwhile, Victoria opted for a mini shift dress in a darker shade of gray with a statement neckline. She toughened up the look with a pair of glossy, black, thigh-high boots.

Victoria, who was pregnant with their fourth child, Harper, at the time, wore a navy shift dress from her own collection. She accessorized with a statement fascinator, matching heeled pumps, and a clutch bag.

Meanwhile, David opted for a black suit jacket with tails, a black waistcoat, gray pants, a silver tie, and black shoes. He carried a black top hat to complete the formal look.

Victoria's striped, fit-and-flare dress had splashes of navy on the V-neckline, the hem, and the waist, along with maroon, orange, and white. She carried a burgundy jacket and a navy clutch.

At her side, David wore a coordinating navy blazer with gold buttons, beige shorts, and a white shirt with a blue-and-white, checkered tie.

At the 2014 Met Gala, Victoria wore a strapless, floor-length white gown and David wore a matching blazer.

Victoria's dress was from her own collection, Pop Sugar reported at the time. The strapless, column dress had a polished look with a two-tier design, with a boxy top and form-fitting skirt that fell to the floor. The skirt was so long, it covered Victoria's white pumps. She accessorized with a sparkly, silver bracelet and drop earrings, which she highlighted as she wore her long hair to the side and tucked behind her ears.

David matched her in a Ralph Lauren tux comprised of a white blazer with satin lapels, a white shirt, and black pants. He accessorized the sleek look with a black bow tie and pocket square.

For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding in 2018, Victoria wore a form-fitting, navy gown with daring details while David opted for a formal, charcoal-gray suit.

Victoria's gown featured a high collar, a cutout that ran down the bodice, and split sleeves. The dress was another item from her own collection, as Harper's Bazaar reported at the time. She rounded off the look with a navy fascinator and bright-red heels.

"I love a bit of navy," Victoria told Us Weekly of the dress in 2018, adding that it was one of her favorite designs.

David's three-piece suit — comprised of a charcoal-gray jacket with tails, pants, and a light-gray waistcoat — was designed by Kim Jones for Dior Homme, Harper's Bazaar reported. He completed the look with a matching charcoal tie and black shoes. While his look was similar to the one he wore to Prince William and Kate's wedding, David was noticeably missing a top hat.

Victoria turned up to the Jacquemus show at Paris Fashion Week in a pale-pink slip dress from her Resort 2024 collection. She paired the ruched, asymmetric gown with blue, open-toe boots, a gray clutch, and a pair of shield sunglasses — again, from her namesake brand.

Her accessories subtly coordinated with David's, who wore a light-beige, baggy suit that featured drawstring pants with brown, open-toe sandals and dark, square-rimmed sunglasses from his collection, Eyewear By David Beckham, as Robb Report reported.

Most recently, Victoria and David coordinated in suits for Netflix's "Beckham" premiere in London on Tuesday.

The couple and their family attended the UK premiere of "Beckham," a Netflix documentary series about David's rise to success as a former professional soccer player.

Victoria wore a long-sleeved, double-breasted, white suit with oversized lapels and without a shirt underneath. Although the designer of the outfit hasn't been confirmed, British Vogue has suggested that it could be one of Victoria's own designs.

She accessorized with black, partially see-through heeled pumps and a black clutch, and wore her hair in a sleek side ponytail.

David, meanwhile, wore a navy suit, a matching blue tie, white shirt, and brown loafers.
