8 times Victoria Beckham dressed celebrity friends and family: from designing Eva Longoria’s wedding dress to kitting out Meghan Markle, bandmates Mel B and Melanie C, Nicola Peltz and daughter Harper
One thing is for certain: if Beckham has a soft spot for you, you’re bound to be dressed by the designer herself at some point.
Here are eight celebrity friends and loved ones Beckham loves (or loved) to kit out …
1. Eva Longoria
The actress and the designer have been close ever since they met in 2007. Longoria was at the peak of her TV career as one of the Desperate Housewives cast members while Victoria was a newbie in Hollywood after husband David signed a contract to play with the Los Angeles club, LA Galaxy. A lot has happened since then, but their friendship and love for fashion remain unchanged.
“It wasn’t my first rodeo and I just wanted something sweet and simple and elegant – and no better person to do it than Victoria. So, I went to London a couple times for fittings and we went over fabric and styles. She pulled out all these fabrics and every single dress she’s ever made. We looked at all the tops, bottoms, zips, styles, and it was a really fun experience,” Longoria told People.

More recently, she showed up at Beckham’s first Paris Fashion Week show in September kitted in, of course, VB as usual.
2. Marc Anthony’s new wife, Nadia Ferreira
So much so that Victoria and David attended the 54-year-old singer’s January 2023 nuptials to his 23-year-old wife, Nadia Ferreira. Victoria even went the extra mile by designing the bridesmaid dresses for the big day.
Victoria wrote on Instagram: “Congratulations Mr and Mrs Muniz!!! We love you both so much and it was such an honour to be part of your special day and celebrate your love!! Kisses.”
Ferreira responded: “What a magical night!! Indeed so honoured you were such a big part of it with us and btw you killed it with the bridesmaids dresses. Again so honoured. We love you too!”
3. Mel B and her mum
When Beckham’s Spice Girls bandmate Mel B was awarded an MBE for her charitable work in raising awareness for domestic violence and supporting vulnerable women last year, the designer made the sweet gesture to dress her for the royal occasion.
Not only did she ensure 47-year-old Scary Spice and her mother Andrea Brown looked their best for Buckingham Palace, but she also showed up in person to the fitting to surprise the ladies.

Mel B posted on Instagram: “My spice sister Vic, I can’t thank you enough for your enormous generosity. Not only did you dress me and my mum but you surprised me by actually being there to fit us. It was so specious thanks to you and your fabulousness.”
“Honestly what a perfect ending to a magical day,” she added.
4. Melanie C
Mel B isn’t the only Spice Girl to wear bandmate Beckham’s designs. Sporty Spice Melanie C has often swapped her trademark athleisure style for trendy VB gowns on the red carpet.
Melanie C, 49, first wore VB when she attended the prestigious Lawrence Olivier Awards in London where she was nominated for the best actress award in 2010 for her role in Blood Brothers. Beckham herself wore the same dress from her autumn/winter 2009 collection to an Elton John post-Oscars party a few months prior.
Since then, Melanie C has often been spotted in VB gear, including the Q Awards 2016 where she wore a wool-striped jumper that was from Beckham’s autumn 2016 collection.
5. Meghan Markle
It’s no secret that Prince Harry and David Beckham have grown close over the years, with the pair often being photographed together at big events. But what about their famous wives?
Meghan and Victoria have remained mum about their relationship – but Victoria and David did famously attended the royal wedding in 2018. In 2020, Meghan showed her support for the designer when she wore a US$1,200 turquoise pencil dress by VB to the Endeavour Fund Awards in London, per Hola.
6. Nicola Peltz-Beckham

But way before the alleged family drama, Nicola wore a dress designed by her mother-in-law for her engagement photo shoot and announcement in 2020. Nicola opted for the yellow silk-georgette midi dress with fluttering ruffles from VB’s SS20 collection.
A few weeks later, Nicola wore two floral midi dresses from Victoria’s collection – a rose print design with chain detailing and a purple number, both from the pre-autumn 2020 collection.
7. Mia Regan
But you don’t need to wed one of her sons to wear Victoria’s designs.
But the final seal of fashion approval came last year, when Victoria dressed Regan for Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s Florida wedding. She certainly seems part of the family already.

8. Harper Beckham
This week, Victoria shared an adorable picture of her with her 11-year-old child on Instagram. “My number one #VBMuse #HarperSeven! Mummy loved creating this dress for you,” Victoria captioned the image.
In the photo, Harper wore a strapless blue dress with an ombre design from her mother’s spring/summer 2023 collection.
