Victoria Beckham put on a very stylish display as she headed to a star-studded afterparty after the BECKHAM documentary on Tuesday night.
The fashion designer, 49, had earlier attended the premiere for their Netflix show, which will be available to stream from Wednesday at 8am, with her husband David, 48, and their four kids.
And the power couple were once again joined by their kids – Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 18, and Harper, 12 – as they all headed to The Twenty Two for a glitzy afterparty.
The couple were supported by their family and famous friends at the bash, including other footballing icons.
The star-studded guest list included A-listers like Salma Hayek and James Corden, as well as Jack Whitehall and Jess Glynne.
Victoria and David’s family were also in attendance, including her parents Tony and Jackie Adams, sister Louise Adams and David’s sister Joanne Louise Beckham.
David’s former football teammates Gary Neville and Ian Wright also made appearances, as well as fellow footballer Alex Scott.
Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz took to Instagram to give an insight into the star-studded bash as she shared playful snaps as they partied the night away in style.
All four of the Beckham children were all seen heading to the afterparty as they celebrated the documentary, which will see Victoria and David give an unprecedented insight into their lives and open up on the highs and lows of their marriage.
For the occasion, Victoria looked glamorous in a white blazer with a plunging neckline and satin lapels, which she styled with straight leg trousers.
She gave herself a few extra inches in a pair of black pointed heels and appeared to be in jovial form as she headed into the venue for the late night partying.
The Spice Girl toted her essentials in a small black clutch bag with a gold clasp as she joined the celebrity guest list.
And her son Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, 28, gave a candid insight into the lavish afterparty as she took to her Instagram Stories to share snaps from inside the venue.
The actress posted a mirror selfie with her husband Brooklyn and his younger brother Cruz as the family all larked about at the party.
Nicola looked glamorous in her vibrant red faux-leather collared mini dress with a belt tie as she snapped the picture at the bar.
Brooklyn could be seen leaning forward into the shot as he struck a playful pose, while his younger brother Cruz could be seen eating a snack in the picture.
Alongside the picture, Nicola wrote: ‘A really beautiful night.’
She also posted a photograph of her father-in-law David, 48, posing with his lookalike eldest son Brooklyn as the pair showed off their matching buzzcuts.
She praised David’s new documentary in a caption as she penned: ‘Congratulations @davidbeckham, a truly beautiful documentary. BECKHAM out tomorrow!!’
Victoria and David’s daughter Harper, their son Romeo and his model girlfriend Mia Regan were also present at the afterparty.
Victoria’s sister Louise was also spotted arriving at the glitzy bash as the couple’s family all descended on the venue to support the Beckhams.
Victoria’s Spice Girls bandmate Geri Horner snubbed the premiere to promote her book in the US, but her husband Christian and her daughter Bluebell, 17, attended the party.
It comes after the entire Beckham clan attended the premiere at The Curzon Mayfair earlier in the evening as they proudly posed for snaps together.
David’s mother Sandra, who features on the documentary, and his father Ted also joined the family at the premiere, as did Victoria’s parents.
The large-scale event attracted attracted huge celebrity names from the fashion, music and footballing worlds including Emma Bunton and Anna Wintour among many others.
At the premiere, David spoke about how looking over his life for the documentary was challenging as he revealed the reason he decided to do it.
‘When I retired ten years ago, people started to ask me if I was going to do a documentary about my life and my career, and in all honesty I wasn’t ready to look back,’ he said.
‘I wasn’t ready to go over things, there’s been so much going on, and I wasn’t ready to process that. But heading towards the 10-year anniversary of me retiring, something felt right about doing it.
‘In all honesty, I wanted to have something for my family and my friends and my fans, who have all lived this.’
He went on: ‘I found it challenging looking back at these things that I probably had never looked at before or processed. That was a tough part for me, going over things.’
The tell-all documentary will see the Beckhams’ give an intimate insight into their marriage and early romance, their family life, as well as charting David’s footballing career.
David and Victoria are set to open up on their much-publicised romance on camera, including the harder parts of their marriage and ‘rumoured infidelity scandals’.
And ahead of the show’s hotly-anticipated release, director Fisher Stevens has told how it was ‘unpleasant’ to ask David and Victoria about their marriage ‘difficulties’.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Fisher said: ‘It wasn’t pleasant, but we got into it.’
‘For me, I approached it as, “How did your marriage stay together?” and you’ll see how he responds,’ he went on. ‘I talked with both of them about the difficulties they went through.’
Producer John Battsek added: ‘They were both signed up to telling us whatever we wanted to know. I’m sure you’ll say, “Of course you would say that.” But they were. There was no, “You will not ask that or do that.”
‘Fisher and I thought that might be the case, but we were clear from the start that we would only do this if we could go in any direction we wanted. And we did.’
A teaser clip for the Beckham documentary has shown Victoria and David lifting the lid on their first attraction to one another.
The pair met at a charity football match in 1997 and have now given an insight into that first meeting and what they thought of each other.
Showing off her relaxed side while sitting on a sofa in the clip, Victoria said: ‘The fact I went to the games really was to – some might say I stalked him, I would say see him.’
Victoria admitted that when she saw David after a match by the bar in the Manchester United players’ lounge, he caught her eye because he was with his parents and clearly a family man.
She said: ‘When I saw him in the footballers’ lounge, all the other footballers were at the bar, and he was standing and talking to his parents, and I’m very close to my family, and I loved that side to him.’
Giving his side of the story, David simply said of their first meeting: ‘I just fancied her.’
While Victoria gushed: ‘I just fancied him, it was as simple as that.’
It proved to be love at first sight for the couple, who went on to tie the knot at a castle outside Dublin just two years later in 1999.
However, their romance wasn’t always plain-sailing as David’s mother Sandra told how she feared her son would ‘lose everything’ when he started dating Victoria.
In the documentary, Sandra confessed she was worried David would get side-tracked from his career at Manchester United when Spice Girl Victoria came on the scene.
She said: ‘We’d were worried he would lose everything he worked for because football had always come first and then all of a sudden it wasn’t.’
But, David and Victoria instead became a brand where they gained lucrative contracts with clothing designers, health and fitness specialists, fashion magazines, and perfume and cosmetics manufacturers.
Despite now being a power couple, at the start of her relationship with David, Victoria said she was told by her manager at the time to ‘keep it under wraps’.
She said: ‘We would meet in car parks and that’s not as seedy as it sounds.’
Adding to her comment, David joked: ‘Classy!’
Victoria also opened up at being at the centre of the ‘circus’ – with shocking footage showing one of their children crying as fans pound on their car as they drive past.
In the clip David – who drove as Victoria sat in the back – said: ‘It’s all right Buster. They can’t get in the car.’
Looking back on the period, Victoria added: ‘It’s entertaining when the circus comes to town, right? Unless you’re in it.’
