It’s been quite the season for Victoria Beckham. Between the whirlwind of fashion week in September, the global buzz around her Netflix docuseries in October, and now, the knighting of her husband in November, the designer has had a few months that would leave most of us breathless. Yet, Beckham has navigated it all with her trademark composure. And, of course, she's kept her sartorial streak going strong.
For today’s occasion at Windsor Castle, marking David Beckham’s knighthood, Victoria stepped out in a typically chic ensemble, wearing the Bela Midi Dress (£850) from her namesake label—a deep navy design with a chic shoe that had me doing a double take.
Not leather, not suede—instead, Beckham reached for a sleek pair of embossed croc-print heels. Rendered in glossy black, the textured finish added depth and intrigue to her otherwise minimalist look.
Rivalling the enduring appeal of leather and suede, this sophisticated finish is making its way into every footwear silhouette this season—from elegant pumps and structured boots to elevated loafers and chic flats.
Wearing well with tailored dressers, as Victoria so deftly demonstrates, croc-print shoes also add an air of refinement to casual jeans, while meeting the poise of more elevated items such as tailored trousers or silky skirts.
