Suit Sophistication
Victoria Beckham's choice of an ivory two-piece suit from her eponymous label was a masterful display of understated elegance. The clean silhouette of the ensemble harmonized seamlessly with her understated ponytail, created by her long-time friend and hairstylist, Ken Paves. This effortless pairing of tailored attire and minimalist styling embodied Beckham's signature aesthetic, which has become synonymous with refined and modern sensibilities.
Signature Smokey Allure
When it came to her makeup, Beckham remained true to her iconic look, embracing a sultry smokey eye and a radiant, sun-kissed complexion. Her makeup artist, Francesca Abrahamovitch, who frequently collaborates with the designer, revealed the inspiration behind the look. "Victoria asked for her signature smokey eye with really fresh, glowy, sunkissed skin," Abrahamovitch explained, highlighting Beckham's enduring affinity for this captivating and timeless makeup style.
Luminous Complexion Secrets
The key to Beckham's luminous complexion lies in a strategic blend of Victoria Beckham Beauty products. Abrahamovitch began by creating a perfected canvas with the brand's The Concealer Pen, infused with the brand's signature TFC8 technology. To sculpt and define Beckham's cheekbones, the Contour Stylus in Marble was applied, imparting a natural-looking definition.The real secret to Beckham's enviable, post-holiday glow, however, was a clever cocktailing of products. Abrahamovitch revealed, "[I used the] Cheeky Posh blush in Fever mixed with Cheeky Posh in Playground on the back of my hand, and added a little bit of Victoria Beckham Cell Rejuvenating Moisturising Primer just make it really dewy." This technique not only delivered a radiant, lit-from-within luminosity to the cheeks but also provided extra "slip" for seamless blending, making it an ideal solution for those with dry skin.
Smokey Eye Sophistication
Beckham's signature smokey eye was expertly executed by Abrahamovitch, who utilized the Smokey Eye Brick Palette in Signature as an eyeshadow base. To create depth and definition, a mix of the Satin Kajal Liners in Cinnamon and Cocoa was applied. For added intensity, the Eyewear eyeshadow stick in Pecan, a matte chocolate tone, was used, while the shimmery grey shade Shroom brightened and added dimension to the overall smokey effect.Beckham's love for bold lashes was evident, as Abrahamovitch used the brand's Vast Lash mascara to achieve a dramatic, inky finish that stayed put throughout the event. For the lips, a natural and nude look was achieved with the Lip Definer 02 liner and the Posh Lipstick in Twist.
A Modern Twist on a Timeless Look
Beckham's red carpet appearance at the Women of the Year Awards showcased her unwavering commitment to her signature style, while also demonstrating her ability to adapt and modernize classic beauty trends. The seamless integration of her tailored ensemble, her radiant complexion, and her sultry smokey eye created a look that was both timeless and fresh, solidifying her status as a true style icon.
