Style File – Victoria Beckham

OR Victoria Beckham – who has just given birth to her first daughter and fourth child, named Harper Seven – the rise to fashion’s highest echelons has been a long journey, peppered with many memorable outfits and style reinventions.

There have been wobbles (Mr Blackwell named her the Worst Dressed Celebrity of 2007, saying: “Wears one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck ‘em.”), but with her many designer friends (Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Roberto Cavalli, Roland Mouret and Dolce & Gabbana, to name but a few), her own sell-out dress collection – which has now been worn by Leighton Meester on Gossip Girl, Cameron Diaz at the Oscars and Dannii Minogue on the X Factor – and fashion campaigns for Marc Jacobs and Emporio Armani, Victoria Beckham’s fashion status is undeniable.

Here, we chart her fashion transformation, from Spice to style icon.
