Victoria Beckham showed her VB Spring/Summer line over the weekend at NY Fashion Week, and the show was attended by Anna Wintour (and Vogue-bait baby Harper). So Victoria is now free to wear her own new designs out and about, as a way of self-promotion. That is what’s happening in these photos. Posh was spotted out and about in NYC yesterday, wearing this dress which she designed.
Apparently, this is her new “favorite piece” from the Spring/Summer collection. She tweeted a photo of it yesterday, and now here she is wearing it. I don’t get it. ANY of it. I don’t get the quilting, which makes this look like a repurposed coverlet. I don’t get the flat-out bedskirt attached to the bottom. I don’t get why it’s so oversized, to a truly comical level. I don’t get why the pockets are SO low on the dress. Seriously, explain it to me. Is this the high-fashion version of overalls? Are we supposed to look at this and think, “Oh, comfortable. I’ve always wanted to wear a quilt and a bed-skirt. Please, let it be comically oversized too.”
Victoria also told Grazia Daily that baby Harper Seven helps her out, fashion-wise. Why do mothers always say this about their daughters? Posh said: “She definitely has a point of view. If I’m going out for the night and I’m coming down the stairs she’ll say ‘nice dress mummy’ or ‘nice handbag mummy’.”
Last thing – to celebrate a successful show, Posh looked at some cronuts. Just like she celebrated her birthday by looking at a cake. ONE MUST NEVER EAT THE CRONUT.

I don’t know enough about fashion, but that looks hella comfortable. Maybe she’s tired of being a slave to fashion wants some comfort in her life.
It does look comfy but that’s pretty much the only nice thing I can say about it. It’s a shame that she chose this piece as her favorite because some of the belted dresses in the collection are really lovely and this…isn’t.
Agreed. Most of her clothes are incredibly beautiful and perfect for powerful women. I’d love to own a dress or two
To me, it would be the height of comfort… It looks like something I’d wear when my boyfriend wasn’t around. And also, I’d change out of it into some yoga pants to answer the door because I’d be too embarrassed to be seen in this even by my elderly postman!
I agree. This makes me want to get pregnant again! What a fab maternity look!
You think? It’s unflattering enough on VB. Seems like it would make the average pregnant woman look as big as a house!
Or – what a fabulous look for Grannie, when she shuffles out to the kitchen in her slippers, looking for that first cup of coffee. We used to call these a mu mu, and it wasn’t a pretty look back then either.
This from the Betty Crocker oven mitt collection
I actually really like it. It works, weird as it may seem.
I actually like all of her new collection (except for that idiotic new trend – the super oversized coats – that everyone is doing; barf).
Vicky’s doing this fashion thing the right way.
her slim dresses are very comfortable too – if you are slim.
And she is wearing platforms!!! More proof that women with taste are not going the flattie route with dresses.
Well, it does look like a moo moo dress, made of an old blanket.
Right!! So Mumu dresses are high fashion now? These people.. *eye roll*
reminds me of Quilted Northern (toilet paper) that is huge on her and not attractive. while it’s probably comfortable, if a big wind comes she’s flying away.
HAAA! It’s really bad right? Why isn’t she wearing one of those cute belted dresses from her collection? She would look great in one of those.
Also, what is a “cronut”??
It’s a combination croissant/donut. Highly sought after.
Half a croissant, half a donut. (I had to look it up, I was so curious). Sounds odd, but could be good?
The Cronut is very exclusive, as they are only made at one place. The lines form about 2 hours before they open. You can only get 2 per person, unless you order ahead. (It takes like 3 days to make them, and large orders of 50 need to be made a MONTH ahead of time!).
Here is a link to when Emma Roberts tried to cut the Cronut line…and was DENIED! 🙂

Hahaha
BWAHAHA, you are so right! And that ridiculous muumuu probably weighs more than Victoria does.
Moreover, I highly doubt she ate one of those cronuts…unless she bypassed the calories by throwing up or taking a laxative. I imagine her idea of a filling breakfast is black coffee.
The Quilted Northern comparison is apt, but to me it looks like she made it out of those blankets moving companies use to cover your furniture when you move!
bingo.
For those days when you don’t want to leave your warm blanket and face another day. My daughter needs one for wake-up time every morning.
HAHAHAHAHA I Love it. The dress is AWFUL, but the way you describe it makes perfect sense.
a haute couture snuggie
This exactly. And you could eat dozens of cronuts and they’d never show.
Awful!!!! Yuck 🙂
^^This!
LOL, poor daughter. not even i would want to get caught wearing that tent of a mess, blanket or not
so much fabric! the same silhouette could be made without so much fabric, it’s like a cartoon dress
i have a dress exactly like it – same shape and color etc. Just a lighter fabric. Crazy!
She took a basic classic airy sun dress design and weighted it down with bed spread fabric.
I wasnt knocking her – I love it enough to own a vintage version of it. If I didn’t, I would want that!
It totally looks like the dress from “Overboard” that she first gets and is from goodwill but 22 sizes too big.
Hahahahahahahaha
(Catches breath)
Hahahahahahaha
!!!!!!!!!!!
🙂
It does! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Snap!!
Literally the first thing I thought when I saw this.
WOW. That’s a sharp departure from the collection I saw yesterday. Love Victoria- and that looks comfortable as all hell- but not for me.
That would be a great maternity dress, though!
It does look very comfortable to me. I think this is also wearable to all body types, no? (just change the fabric to something more flowing, like jersey).
This is a horrible silhouette for 99,99% of women. It doesn’t really look good but seems like a trend, I’ve seen many similar dresses on recent runways.
Are we going to wear bad fabric sacs this winter?
Oh, god. Bless her.
It really looks like a beginning sewing project, doesn’t it? Very amateurish seams and cut, along with a poor fabric choice.
What I was coming here to say. Looks like a Home Ec project.
I love this dress – it seems to be the most glorious, comfortable and cuddly sack ever conceived by (wo)man. I’d buy that in a nano second!
ME TOO! 🙂
So, this is what she wears after she looks at the cronuts and cries to her mirror about how “fat” she is? Or is this her attempt to make clothing for “regular-sized” women? Forget about all that pesky sizing for the fatties over a size 6!
Just kidding, I generally like her and some of her dresses but this thing? Come on. I have to say though that that is a sublime shade and I don’t mind the quilting. Just not those two facets together. Or interpreted this way.
I wish she would have been wearing the maroon dress from her collection. I actually really like that dress. This one is terrible.
Maybe she sniffed the cronut and was feeling fat so she had to hide her body in a sack.
+1 : )
Here I was thinking it wouldn’t be that bad…..
Ummm….no
And ususally Victoria can do no wrong in my eyes…I’m going to have my coffee and a dozen cronuts right now.
Could she be pregnant again…?
She looks different, no? Either she just isn’t aging well, she had something done to her face, or she’s sick?? Her face just looks off recently.
I thought that too… She looked sort of sick at her runway show. Maybe fashion week stress?
I was thinking yesterday that her face looks incredibly tense and tired. I bet it is stress and working long hours
I agree. I like VB, (she’s an awesome interview too!) but something isn’t right here, and it’s not just the, um, dress.
Pregnant?
It looks like a couture dress for a Raggedy Ann doll or maybe formal wear for Holly Hobbie? Victoria must be using Harper’s dolls as inspiration — bad idea.
I do like the quilted fabric and the color and the black contrast – and I think it would have been amazing in a fitted silhouette.
I like it! It’s very unusual. The quilting works for me and the sleeve treatment, but I think it might be better shorter proportion wise. Can NOT get behind the shoes though…Vicky’s growing on me…
I choose to ignore the dress but the shoes need to go!
I really hope this becomes a must have. I’d love to go to the office in my duvet with some nice heels. I really would. Bliss.
my duvet cover looks JUST like that.
If it was a tad fitted it would have been very cute. I actually like the quilting.
Horrrrribbbblllle. I usually like her style, but this is atrocious.
LOVE IT.
Awful. And yet, she still manages to look skinny to me in that “dress”.
this dress and the cronuts tweet are just begging for PREGGO rumors.
So last year she tried very hard to start the trend of carrying bags by holding them at the bottom. This year it’s hands in the pockets.
The average price for a Victoria Beckham dress is over $2,000 (see net-a-porter website). Fortunately we can all afford to hire a tailor and buy a blue quilted bedspread at Bed, Bath & Beyond. That is, if one desires to wear a bedspread.
hee hee hee

Right. I’m going to go ahead and say it. I hated her collection, I thought it was referential and not original enough. I also hate this woman didn’t go through design school (and I know you don’t always have to- I’m all for self made people too) Less than a decade ago the term WAG was invented for her, she looked like a hooker and NOW look at her! I’m unconvinced. There! I’ve said it! Kill me!
ahhhahaha, bwahhahahah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam omg Jesus take the wheel this is killing me..bwahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Thank you for the afternoon funny. Now, will some kind soul please tip toe into her house, remove that frock from her closet and put it in the nearest trash bin???? This is like the “emperor’s new clothes, but with a duvet cover a la Rumpelstiltskin”.
The tent dress is a fashion tragedy. This is just tragedy: quilters edition.
Wonder how muchit costs?
Lazy dress (the design). Looks like something from H&M a few seasons ago.
But then, Victoria isn’t a real designer. It’s all very lazy, very easy, nothing too challenging.
I kind of like it, it looks really comfortable and I’m kind of lazy enough to throw on something tent-like just for comfort. Granted, this is no dress for a woman with any sort of curve or sans high heels.
I kinda like it. It looks super comfy especially for a pregnant woman….
And there will be 15 celebrities wearing this quilted muu muu in 3, 2, 1 ..
I want her to whip out her wand and turn my pumpkin into a stagecoach.
Only Victoria Beckham could get away with this, but even then – only when pregnant.
Holy moly, is that awful.
It looks like something you drag out of the back of a UHaul to cover ur crap when u move…
well this just made my day. After ALL those dresses, THIS? I guess Roland Mouret is not on the team anymore 😉
It looks like a giant dolls dress. Don’t like anything about it, or the shoes.
Ridiculous and hideous.
Horse blanket, horse hooves.
I like the shape but it’s too exaggerated to be effective here.
Also, someone on Project Runway used this very same design last season, but he did it in a yellow satin or something like that, I think. It was pretty striking.
I also love quilting, but I’m not sure it works here.
It’s absolutely hideous. And why starve yourself (as we all know she does) only to wear a fucking tent?
FAIL!
I kind of like it, in a high fashion way. I wouldn’t wear it in public, but I wouldn’t wear a lot of things celebrities wear. However, I work from home and for me, it’s perfect for “the office”. I like her designs for the most part. I like the clean lines, geometric patterns and cool simplicity of her style.
She’s in a Stoopid Contest with Stella McCartney. This is the proof.
Her design looks like a house dress i.e. a dress to put on your house. horrid.
i actually like this when i saw it
do’nt know why
just do
it’s appealing to me
maybe the color?
That thing is so bad I’m surprised Kim K isn’t wearing it
I think she’s pregnant again. Not because of the dress, which I think is hideous. She just seems to look like she does every time she’s expecting.
Isn’t that one of Kim K’s maternity dresses. I swear I saw this before on Kim K…
Tragic
I would wear this in a heartbeat!
VB just keeps getting better and better.
Or maybe she had had a few hence the dress… 😉 this dress is ot great and looks a few sizes to big. I don’t really get those tent-like garments… They simply don’t look good!
I’ve see a dress very similar to that. I don’t think she is wearing it for comfort. But making a Victoria statement.
I don’t know where I have seen it before. Maybe another celeb wore something similar or it could be from something I saw on Project Runway..
Don’t like it.
Um yeah, the kid, at her age, actually said, “nice dress, mummy.”
Mhmm.
She’s wearing a moving blanket.
This is not being Fashion Forward, more like STUPID ASS
She’s usually more on point. Yes, this is unfortunate.
VERY unfortunate.
Tent dress is not going to happen. Ever. I don’t care who wears it.
OK, yeah, I’ll believe she designed this one.
