Top 10 Iconic David Beckham Looks

Beckham was charged with presenting one of the most important awards of the night at the 2015 BAFTA ceremony: he bestowed the honor for Outstanding British Film upon the cast and crew of “The Theory of Everything.” Marking the first time he’d attended the awards show, Beckham clearly wanted to make an impression on the red carpet: the tux he wore for the occasion was a deep blue shade, with contrasting black bowtie and lapels. Becks wowed viewers and fashion critics alike in his crisp and dapper ensemble, the same way he had at the 2014 Met Gala when he donned a similarly dramatic white suit jacket.

By “Iconic David Beckham Looks,” we mean memorable, and this outfit sure is memorable. With the benefit of hindsight, we can say that, in the early aughts, men’s fashion was a little more experimental than it is today. And Beckham looks about ready to audition for a boy band in these shots, wearing a long distressed leather coat with a classic white tee, faded denim and just the right amount of stubble. In London to promote a range of sunglasses by ‘Police,’ his gradient shades completed the look.

Not long after they got together, Posh and Becks became known for their flawlessly coordinated outfits. For the 2003 MTV Movie Awards, head-to-toe white was the theme. Both parties wore Dolce & Gabbana for the LA awards show, with Victoria’s lace-up dress becoming iconic itself. As for David, his white-hot tux with contrasting satin lapels was dressed down a bit thanks to a low-key t-shirt underneath, and accessorized with some seriously chunky bling. And as you know, Beckham’s hair is his crowning glory, and to this event the fashion icon wore it up in a ponytail.

Whether he’s formal or casual, Becks always manages to look put together. The football star and underwear model was signing copies of his recently released autobiography “My Side” at a Waterstone’s Bookshop in Piccadilly, London in 2003 wearing a classic dressed down look: he looked laidback in a leather jacket, plain white tee and grey denim. With his shoulder-length blond hair, Beckham looked like he was channeling Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain – and it totally worked for him.

As we mentioned, this celebrity super-couple has been known to coordinate their outfits. In June 1999, less than a month before they tied the knot, they must’ve been feeling particularly close, because they went all-in on their matching attire. At a party hosted by Italian fashion house Versace, Posh and Becks appeared in matching leather jumpsuits, designed by the party’s host. Although Beckham has since revealed that the memory of these Versace ensembles makes him cringe, he also says they’ve still got the iconic ensembles! Cringe-worthy or not, this helped put David Beckham on the fashion map.
