Victoria Beckham attended Dame Vivienne Westwood’s memorial service today. The legendary fashion designer, famous for spearheading the punk fashion movement, passed away in Clapham, South London on Dec. 29, 2022, at the age of 81.

Beckham left the service with close friend and fellow designer Marc Jacobs, wearing a flowing black dress. Her long-sleeved style included a slim-fitting bodice and handkerchief hem. Giving the piece added dimension was all over black eyelet embroidery in jagged lines, providing a burst of texture with a sleek edge. A black clutch with a silky woven cord handle, as well as oversized black sunglasses, completed her attire.

When it came to footwear, Beckham opted for formality with a set of black pointed-toe pumps. Her style included triangular toes with smooth satin uppers, providing her outfit with a faint sheen. Thin stiletto heels totaling at least 4 inches completed the pair with a sharp finish.
