Posting to her Instagram on Sunday night, the former Spice Girl turned fashion designer gave fans a close-up of the dreamy slinky dress she wore to attend a State Banquet at Buckingham Palace back in earlier December.
The rich blackberry-hue dress in question was the ‘Circle Detail Gown’ from her namesake label and featured a floor-length hemline, long sleeves, hip ruching detailing and a set of structured statement shoulder pads.
It’s been a while since the fashion sphere has been treated to a good pair of shoulder pads - a style which first became popular in the 1930s, inspired by military silhouettes.
They then again rose to fame in the 70s, championed by the likes of Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent and Dior in both ready-to-wear and haute couture collections,
The style continued to reign supreme and was loved by the likes of Princess Diana, who wore a shoulder pad-infused ensemble during almost every public appearance possible.
Throughout fashion history, the statement shoulder pad in women's fashion has always been about female empowerment and Victoria Beckham is making sure that 2025 is about exactly that.

If our fashion calculations are correct, Victoria’s glamorous Buckingham Palace gown is just the beginning for bold shoulder and we expect to see a whole lot more throughout the 2025 seasons.
