Victoria Beckham Just Styled The Perfect Maxi Dress In Italy

last updated 23 August 2023

Victoria Beckham is many things—a formidable designer, business owner, former member of (arguably) one of the world's greatest girlbands; and, during her trip to Italy this summer, a poster-girl for the quiet-luxury look. For a lunch in Nerano, the ex-Spice Girl leant into the trend of the year with her quiet-luxury styling, opting for a floor-sweeping, white cotton dress in a fit-and-flare silhouette—another rising trend. Wearing her white dress with classic tan accessories, Beckham put together a quintessentially Italian outfit, incorporating natural fabrics like raffia, leather and cotton in tones such as brown, beige and white.

Victoria Beckham wore a white, floor-length, fit-and-flare shirt-dress for lunch in Italy.

Beckham's breezy cotton dress was ideal for a baking summer's day on the Italian coast—the natural, breathable fabric offers comfort over the course of a hot day. A raffia sun hat and wide-framed sunglasses polished off the elegant look whilst keeping the designer cool during her lunch.

Victoria Beckham styled her floor-length, white shirt-dress with a brown Birkin bag and raffia hat.

Opting for possibly the most covetable quiet-luxury accessory on the market, Beckham wore a brown Hermès Birkin bag, which has been a favourite of hers since the early 2000s. For jewellery, she gravitated towards a singular bracelet and small earrings which were framed by her long hair. Beckham's quiet-luxury look may cost a fortune to replicate piece for piece, but it is essentially composed of wardrobe staples, making it easy to copy if you're in need of last-minute summer outfit inspiration.
