13 Style Lessons We Learned from Victoria Beckham

There are few celebrities with as stylish of a track record as Victoria Beckham (she could wear a paper bag and still look chic!). Not one to follow the fashion herd, this former Spice Girl-turned-fashion-designer has come a long way since her pop star days. It's Beckham's trend-right, yet still super refined and timeless style — not to mention her effortless juxtaposition of ladylike and menswear-inspired looks — that keeps us coming back for more. Swipe through for 13 styling tips we've gleaned through the years from the master of posh herself.

Don't shy away from color. Trust that Beckham is just as schooled in pulling off concentrated color as head-to-toe black. Her red dress and sparkly green glitter pumps receive a perfect 10 in our book. (Photo via David M. Benett/Dave Benett/Getty)

Seek solace in jeans and a tee. When you're a mum of four, fashion designer, and full-fledged businesswoman, a trusty, chic uniform is a must.

Never underestimate the power of a power suit. Whether you run your own fashion empire or not, nothing says modern-day lady boss like a printed pantsuit that slays on and off the clock (and even en route to JFK).

It's all in the details. Maybe it's a faux-fur-trimmed dress or perhaps it's a high-drama hat worthy of the royal wedding; either way, Victoria B's always ready to strike a pose. It's the ladylike extras that define this bona fide tastemaker's wardrobe. (Photo via Suhaimi Abdullah/Getty)
