Style Notes: Ah, young love. This is a shot from when the couple announced their engagement in 1998. We’re totally here for the matching black roll-necks.

Style Notes: His leather jacket! Her matching top and trousers! Those zebra boots! What’s not to love about this look?

Style Notes: In 2003, David received an OBE for services to football. VB went for a demure black outfit, and David did a classic top hat and tails.

Style Notes: The chainmail trend was big in the ’90s (it’s even made a recent return), but we’re really distracted by David’s bandana here.

Style Notes: In 2005, the Beckhams proved they could do knockout red carpet attire while attending an event in Portugal.

Style Notes: At the 2003 MTV Movie Awards, the couple looked like they’d been living in L.A. their whole lives, even though they didn’t move there until 2007. The matching white outfits are just incredible.

Style Notes: This is what we like to call true vintage Victoria and David Beckham twinning. Victoria in a risqué gown looking super tan, and David with an open shirt, jeans and the all-important rosary beads.

Style Notes: VB changing her hair colour and length was just as important and impactful as when she changed up her look. Here’s she styled out a revamped take on the ’60s mod, with DB looking equally retro in his double-breasted suit and cravat combo.

Style Notes: An off-the-shoulder grey top paired with black trousers for Victoria and a half-tuck white shirt for David (did he start the trend?). The beanie, however, was the start of every man in the western world wearing these hats even in the height of summer.

Style Notes: Back in 2001, Posh loved pairing a crop top with boot-cut trousers, and David enjoyed velvet trousers, apparently. He was also doing the whole oversized cuff thing before everyone else, so bonus fashion points there.

Style Notes: This is how VB does Jackie O style. While attending the ESPY awards in 2008, the designer opted for a pale yellow bodycon dress and oversized sunnies.

Style Notes: Proof that the couple doesn’t have to adhere to the exact same dress codes as each other. David has an interesting pinstripe suit on, and Victoria’s grey dress is great. Who knew those controversial latex boots would predict this year’s “pantashoes” trend?

Style Notes: Attending the Met Gala in 2008, the couple was officially cemented as one of the U.S.’s power couples. Both wear vintage Armani. Chic.

Style Notes: Just perfection. Would wear everything in this picture. Even David’s velour (?) jacket.

Style Notes: No surprise that Victoria was doing trends years before they got big and wearing the hottest designers of the moment. Case in point—red and pink together, and the fact that this was one of Christopher Kane’s earliest dresses.

Style Notes: Oh yeah, this is a goodie. We’re not 100% sure if there were motorbikes waiting around the corner for the Beckhams to drive off on, but who cares when they look this good?

Style Notes: Ending on a high, remember that time they matched blazers while arriving at an airport in Japan?These two have always known how important travel outfits were, even way back in 2003.
