Whilst Victoria Beckham is the kind of celebrity who always has a few tricks up her sleeve style-wise, sometimes the star likes to revert to a combination she's already tried and tested, just like the rest of us. In the chaos of Paris Fashion Week—made even more frenzied with the showing of her own spring/summer 2025 collection on Friday—Beckham leaned towards a few of her most reliable wardrobe items.
Stepping out in a black suit composed of floor-length trousers or "puddle pants" and a belted blazer, Beckham crafted an elegant silhouette with a fashion-person twist. Rather than opting for a neatly cropped or ankle-skimming pair, Beckham's extra-long trousers trailed on the floor, elongating her 5'4" frame and instilling an easy nonchalance that felt particularly fitting for the Parisian setting.
Most of us might regard floor-sweeping trousers as special-occasion attire, but for Beckham—whose entire life is made up of special occasions—extra-long trousers paired with sky-high stilettos are more like her equivalent of baggy jeans and Birkenstocks, and she's spotted in the combo at least a few times a month. Case in point: Shortly afterwards, she showcased another chic two-piece with super-long wide-leg trousers, this time in bright white. Up top, she wore a single-breasted blazer with nothing underneath, and of course, she added heels.
Beckham's penchant for puddle pants is hardly a secret, so it's no surprise that the style features heavily in Victoria Beckham collections. If you don't mind a practically guaranteed trip to the dry cleaner, I've curated an edit of the best extra-long trousers that you can shop this season. Read on for my picks.
