Victoria Beckham dour-faced in her own design: cute or tragic?

posh2

We were all excited to see Victoria and David Beckham, but now that we can see the photos… is it as exciting? Victoria is wearing a dress from her own line, with Louboutin heels (custom-made), and a Phillip Treacy hat. David is wearing Ralph Lauren, and he’s featuring his OBE, right?

While Posh did the photographer gauntlet, she didn’t even bother to smile. It’s like she’s just completely SICK over having to go to this big event while pregnant. That being said, she’s SO little. She actually looks like she’s lost weight since I last saw photos of her.

That dumb hat in the middle of her forehead isn’t helping anything either.

    Well, he certainly looks DO-ABLE! Mmmmmmmm!

  2. RovingLass says:

    She looks like a mad flight attendant from the 60s

  3. OtherChris says:

    She looks so sour faced.

  4. S says:

    Gorgeous, both of them!! I was more excited to see them than Kate & Will…

  5. Iggles says:

    David looks hot. As usual…

  6. merski says:

    I mean seriously, Posh, smile a little, you’re not at a funeral….

  7. Fabianne says:

    Those Louboutins look uncomfortable. I hope she doesn’t poke somebody’s eye out with that hat!

  8. She in Chi says:

    Those shoes on a pregnant gal are like alcohol and cigarettes! Call freaking protective services already.

  9. You don't say says:

    Don’t like her look–face or dress. It is not her event and she did not have to come if she was going to look so put out. He looks and acts much better.

  10. beth says:

    i saw david beckham close-up, once while my sis was organising an event between our home team and manchester united – no bells rang then, no bells rang now. he just looks… like every other blonde dude. but then again, with the exception of paul bettany and brad pitt, blondes have never been my thing.

  11. Kiki says:

    posh is pathetically vain. sheesh!!

  12. Devon says:

    I thought her dress would have been a bit more fitted than this but this is Vicki B and she’s pregnant. At THE wedding. She was not going to let that bump out. As for the shoes, she’s used to wearing heels. Never wears flats so I think they’re going to be fine on her. Plus she’s got David to hold on to.

    David is just looking hot as hell. I want my husband to wear something like that. I want my husband to look like him. Bad wife?

  13. Rosanna says:

    I love her! She always looks perfect!

  14. Vesper says:

    I think she looks gorgeous as always. Love the simplicity of the dress, particularly since she is pregnant, as well as her hair. The hat compliments the outfit, although I think it would look better placed differently.

  15. Ruth says:

    Why is she wearing black to a wedding? I was always told that was rather in bad taste unless obviously a “yay party” dress.. She looks funereal. (and miserable )

  16. SHump says:

    WTF has crawled up everyone’s bum? Victoria doesn’t smile in photos. Victoria always wears heels. Victoria lives in neutrals… where is the big shock, here? From what I’ve read, she’s been extremely excited about the wedding, but this is Victoria Beckham we’re talking about. She isn’t going to act like a giddy teenager, ffs.

  17. Devon says:

    The dress is navy, not black.

  18. Mtn Girl says:

    @rovinglass – too funny, perhaps an homage to Kate’s mom, wasn’t she a flight attendant years ago? And what is up with all the thick black eyeliner? Is it coming back in style, even for the day and at weddings?

    I like the dress, ‘tho, although I don’t think it’s appropriate for a wedding like that.
    Are these the first pictures of her pregnancy? When is she due?

    She never smiles because she hates her teeth (according to what she said).

  20. did she HAVE to wear that hat??

  21. Tara says:

    I think the dress is quite tasteful and elegant. had she worn anything else people would be calling her an upstager and a famewhore. The hat does seem funereal but I don’t hate it on her. The little veil takes some of the edge off – can you imagine the full-on bitchface without it? She is a good friend of the new royal couple so I know she’s probably happy for them but what pregnant woman on earth looks happy in the early morning?

  22. Camille says:

    She looks awful and could have smiled for at least a couple of photos! Not everything is about her. Where are the people ‘screaming’ about David’s ‘greasy’ Brad Pitt look…

  23. escapee says:

    Victoria is always a more fashion edgy than conservative like the royals. I think she looks gorgeous and did a great job blending her style with something timeless and not flashy (as photos of this wedding will be shown forever. Maternity perfection.

  24. azurea says:

    Stripper shoes at a wedding? Blech.

  25. Stephie says:

    The hat is just ridiculous.

  26. 80sgirl says:

    Love the dress, love the hate but the shoes are right off a porn set and wholly inappropriate for the occasion.

  27. Luls says:

    David Beckham is DIVINE! <3
    We can hate on Vic all we want, but SHE’S having the last laugh! Lucky beeotch!!

  28. Paige says:

    her feet are going to snap off!

  29. ntuh says:

    i love her and she looks perfect

  30. yeahyeahyeah says:

    How is she making ‘everything about her’ by wearing something SUBTLE? Seriously, I don’t get all the hate for her. She looks classy… unlike the tacky, fugly dresses other people wore. Princess Beatrice?

  31. TXCinderella says:

    David looks very handsome, but Victoria, meh. I think it is ridiculous for a pregnant woman to be wearing those shoes. Her feet are going to be jacked up when she gets older!

  32. RHONYC says:

    *in Brüno’s voice*

    FANTASTISCH!!!

    LOVE IT!

    LOVE IT!

    LOVE IT!

    thanx for the pics kaiser! you did NOT disappoint!

    she looks like a work of art. her silhouette is exquisite.

    the hat. the hair. the bag. the shape. the shoes. the david.

    all puuuuurfectly executed.

    if homegirl designs a maternity line in the future, i just might have to consider getting knocked up to rock it.

    i love her stuff THAT much.

    go vicki b!

    simply stunning. 😉

  33. Maggienz says:

    I think it is a CBE not an OBE

  34. Pix says:

    Poor Posh. The social event of her life and she’s trying to cover up, rather than accentuate her baby bump. She looks great, but she could look better. LOVE the hat!

  35. Jen34 says:

    Her–meh. Him — hot.

  36. Justaposter says:

    I liked her dress.

    But IMO she looked a big green around the gills..maybe a bit queasy. She is preggers after all.

  37. k says:

    @Ruth – Maybe it’s navy, not black.

    I don’t care about the haters; I have an illogical soft spot for her, and I’m not even a Spice Girls fan. The hat placement does look ridic. Maybe she’s trying to hide a bulging forehead vein?

  38. I luv HGF says:

    She has “eyeliner issues” similar to Kate’s. Is thick black eyeliner a British thing?

  39. ladybert62 says:

    Did she think this was a funeral? That hat is ridiculous – she looks wayyy too skinny (this woman is pregnant???) – that dress is boring and is it black or dark blue? Overall, ugh! D-

  40. irishserra says:

    I love that last picture; it’s as if she’s got her hand on David in claim as she says, “Back off bitch, he’s mine!” to the guy giving him the eye.

    I know it wasn’t her day, but I wonder if she felt a lot of pressure today regarding her own fashion, as we were all looking forward to seeing what she would sport. I do imagine though that she probably is tired and that can contribute to her facial expression. Who in the heck wants to be “on” and looking good when you are that pregnant? Give me a pair of sweats and a comfy couch!

  41. poodlemom says:

    Why do pregnant stars wear such ridiculousy high shoes! I fell once when I was pregnant…wearing thick, wedge type shoes…and I said “never again”! The hat is nice, though! Speaking of nice…didn’t “Pippa” look great? Pippa and Prince Harry would make a nice couple!

  42. serena says:

    David looks HOT, damn.
    She looks a mess, I expected her to do better honestly.

  43. junipergreen says:

    I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt–she’s pregnant and may feel like shit or even be sick. My pregnancy made me sick pretty much the whole damn time.

    I kind of like the hat. It’s striking, for what it is anyway. I’m not a fan of any of those hats, but she’s pulls this one off.

    @Camille–How is everything about her because she didn’t smile for photos?? That doesn’t even make sense. She’s obviously not angling for attention at all. Look at her outfit. is that attention seeking? Um, no. Not to mention she is sort of hanging behind David a bit. Damned if ya do and damned if ya don’t. I bet if she smiled you would have said, “Jeez, Posh, don’t make it all about you!”

  44. The Other Katherine says:

    I know this makes me sound like a crochety, backwards little old lady, but I was always taught not to wear solid black, white, or red as a guest at a wedding because: (a) black looks like you’re in mourning; (b) white looks like you’re competing with the bride; and (c) red also looks like you’re competing with the bride, but in a different way. Generally I don’t hold with these sorts of strictures, but since the wedding is supposed to be about the bride and groom rather than the guests, it always seemed to me like a good time to be super-circumspect about dress codes.

    I know a couple of commenters have said the dress is navy, but it sure as heck looks black. Either way, it is so funereal as to be off-putting for the occasion.

  45. heebeegeebee says:

    Horrible dress, horrible shoes, what a disappointment. I agree with @theotherkatherine, this is a traditional wedding and traditional rules apply.

  46. OriginalGracie says:

    It’s so funny/cute: in that top pic and others I saw, David looks so much like a very young Ricky Gervais! Heehee….it’s kind of adorable.

    David is a gorgeous man. Posh does not smile in public. This is who they are, people.

  47. MeriJaan says:

    The only thing I see her wearing is “bitchface”.

  48. Vesper says:

    It’s laughable that everyone is criticizing Victoria from the colour of her dress (definitely navy as described) to the height of her shoes. Did u not see the other guests’ outfits / hats? In comparison, they looked hideous and that includes all members of the Royal Family. Victoria was probably the best dressed woman at the wedding despite being pregnant.

  49. daisydoodle says:

    she looks fine…I wish she would happy every once in a while. And if she doesn’t smile because of her teeth, fix them, she has the money, modern dentistry has done wonders for people. Also how can this woman get pregnant, 4 times, with her BMI?

  50. REALIST says:

    He looks gorgeous. I forgot-she’s preggers…

  51. DGO says:

    She looks like she’s trying not to throw up. Poor Victoria. Pregnancy is reported to be hard on her.

  52. Vesper says:

    @ The Other Catherine –

    The groom is wearing red, the maid of honour is wearing white, and the Queen is wearing yellow of all colours. Guess the dress code is shot to hell.

  53. The Other Katherine says:

    Groom and MoH are members of the wedding party, so different rules for them. Also, uniforms are what they are – it’s not like choosing your own dress as a female wedding guest.

    I’m not aware of any traditional prohibitions on yellow or other bright colors other than red for female guests – not saying it makes sense, but saying that’s the tradition. I thought the queen looked fab.

  54. Rhiley says:

    She looks like she is attending a funeral not a wedding. Plus, are those style shoes still in style. They look a little dated but I really wouldn’t know. Fashion isn’t my thing so much.

  55. Novaraen says:

    Large blue caftan and stripper shoes?!? LOL…she is so determined for the public to not see her preggo belly. We might think she was FAT..*gasp*…

  56. Sue says:

    Rhiley@ Yes those style shoes are very much still in style and the dress is navy not black.

  57. TQB says:

    I was crushed – she was the one guest I was DYING to see and I think she looks god-awful. I fully expected stilettos, but those are fug. The dress, whatever, she could have done better, but I guess she must not be someone comfortable with wearing fitted styles when pregnant. But the hat is just hideous. It just made her look like a conehead.

    Booooo, Posh! I expected so much more from you! Somewhere Christian Soriano is PISSED – you know he would have delivered for this moment.

  58. monstergirl says:

    The wedding of the century and they have crappy grey folding chairs??? Really? I’m getting married soon and there is no way I would put my guests on folding chairs from some office supply store.

  59. lucy2 says:

    I’m surprised it’s so understated. Though I can’t stand hats that look like a dog bowl glued to your forehead.

  60. game -of -thornes says:

    her heels are super high… dont her feer hurt?

  61. Hanh says:

    she probably IS feeling sick. She IS pregnant after all.

  62. Lisa says:

    Does anyone here bother to look at pics of UK upper class events? Her hat is subdued compared to half the women there. Crazy hats & facinators is what they all ‘do’ – the crazier, the better. And considering Joss Stone wore a skin tight, bright red dress I’d say Victoria had the right tone to hers.

  63. jane16 says:

    I don’t like her dress and hat, but they were okay next to her horrible hairdo. A ponytail? Pulled tight? When you’re wearing a couple of fake hair weaves and pull your hair into a tight ponytail, the lines are going to show. What a mess. She should have had it arranged into a chignon or something. But what wrecks her looks the most is that snotty look on her face. Same look she always has. I have never understood why she has “fans”.

  64. The Other Katherine says:

    Just watched some of the video footage, and saw another woman (not Joss Stone, some upper-class Brit) wearing a tight, bright red dress with mandatory accompanying crazy hat. I guess the British upper classes are more fashion-forward in their wedding guest etiquette than I am.

  65. Tali says:

    I thought she looked classic, simple and chic. Well played Vicky B… She didn’t go the outlandish route that MANY of the royals did today!!!

  66. Mary says:

    Those shoes are probably KILLING her. In fact those cant be shoes, they look like spears.
    Her obit is gonna say “fell off her own shoes”……

  67. YvetteW says:

    She always takes herself so so seriously. While I absolutely love a Philip Treacy hat, that is not his best. Oh well her man looks good as per usual.

  68. Raz says:

    The best thing was that David Beckham tried to show his ‘posh’ credentials by wearing his OBE, but he’s originally wearing it on the right lapel. By tradition they should be on the left – clearly inside someone tells him as in the later pictures of him sitting down it’s on the other side!

  69. Katelyn says:

    Thought her dress was beautiful. After all, she is around six months pregnant. Wasn’t crazy about the shoes or how she wore the hat. But overall she looked great and so did David.
