Victoria Beckham Just Swapped Her Puddle Pants for This Classic '90s Trend

I know I'm not the only fashion fan who remains besotted by '90s style. In my opinion, the sleek forms, minimal silhouettes, and wearable designs that dominated the decade have never been topped by any other era.
Seeing as the decade holds such a special place in my heart, I'm always on the lookout for a great '90s-inspired celebrity look, and this week, I came across one of the best yet. Recently, Victoria Beckham stepped out in a dress that her Spice Girl alter ego would have loved: a chic black minidress with a shallow scoop-neck design, which I just had to share with you.
These simple LBDs were a partywear staple back in the day, and VB was the poster girl. We've seen the singer-turned-designer style black minidresses countless times over the past 30 years, often wearing them with next to no accessories. Beckham is known for taking a timeless approach to her minidress styling.
Beckham made her look relevant to 2024 by adding a baseball cap and carrying her flat sandals while on a yacht in Miami. She was accompanied by supermodel Cindy Crawford, who wore white trousers with a blue button-down. The two fashion icons proved they still have a knack for putting together a great—albeit simple—outfit.
Black minidresses are a wardrobe staple that VB can't be without, so read on to discover our edit of the best black minidresses to shop right now.
