Leave it to Victoria Beckham to steal the show at the royal wedding. The former Spice Girl — a long-time favorite of groom Prince Harry himself — showed up with David Beckham at the May 19 wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle, helping headline the star-studded celebration of their grand romance. For this royal wedding, Beckham came decked out in deep midnight blue. Back in 2011, when she was pregnant with her daughter Harper Seven during Will and Kate’s marriage, she wore a simple navy shift of her own design. Beckham is no stranger to royal weddings: she made a splash at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2011 nuptials at Westminster Abbey as well. Her relationship to Harry, meanwhile, can be traced back to a 1997 visit to Africa made by the young Prince and his dad while the singing group also happened to be on tour, leading to a meet-and-greet amongst the Spice Girls, Nelson Mandela, and the British royals, followed by other red carpet encounters and even a private high tea service with the princes. Since then, of course, Beckham has evolved from a girl group superstar to a respected fashion designer and mother of four, regularly hobnobbing with Britain’s most elite. She even also was named an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, an honor bestowed by the Queen herself, in 2017. Get The Brief.

While we knew that the British designer unfortunately wouldn't be creating Meghan's dress, we couldn't help but be excited at the idea that the Beckhams would be at another royal wedding. Needless to say, Victoria didn't disappoint. For the special occasion, the mom of four wore a dark navy midi dress, which she accessorized with a birdcage veil hat and bright red pumps. Of course, Meghan and Harry's big day was always going to be quite different from Kate and William's. This time around, Victoria didn't have to dress a baby bump (she was expecting Harper when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got married), but she did have to wear a very specific outfit consisting of a modest day dress and a hat. Read on to get a closer look at her very posh outfit.<doc-sep>VICTORIA Beckham hit headlines at the Royal Wedding last weekend, not for her outfit or dashing husband, but because she wasn't smiling when she arrived at Windsor Castle. On Saturday, many of those watching Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot took to Twitter to mock her "miserable" appearance. 5 New reports suggest Victoria Beckham was pouting at the Royal Wedding because David had been out partying the night before Credit: PA 5 Is this now deleted, cosy picture the reason why Victoria was so miserable at the Royal Wedding? Piers Morgan even ranted on Good Morning Britain that the Spice Girls legend looked like a "sourpuss". However, new reports suggest there was a reason for Victoria looking rather down on the special day. Posh's husband bought drinks for socialite Kara Keble White while out with the family the night before the wedding - and she posted it about it on her Instagram. Event planner Kara was celebrating her birthday at Soho Farmhouse in Oxforshire, next to the Beckhams' country estate, when she bumped into him. 5 new! magazine reports that David bought shots for event planner Kara Keble-White at Soho Farm House Credit: PA:Press Association Kara took a selfie with the football legend and posted it on Instagram. She reportedly captioned the now-deleted picture: "Thanks for the shots". There is nothing to suggest anything untoward happened between the pair and the magazine also claims that the rest of Beckham clan were at the plush venue together. The Sun Online have contacted David and Victoria's reps and Kara for comment. 5 David reportedly bumped into Kara Keble-White at Soho Farmhouse the night before the wedding Credit: Instagram Meanwhile, not only did Piers say that Victoria looked like a "sourpuss" but he also slated David for chewing gum during the ceremony. Piers ranted: "He goes into church and sits down next to Nicholas Soames. The pillar of the establishment. A man related to Winston Churchill and what does old Golden Balls do? He chews gum." Piers Morgan slams David Beckham on Good Morning Britain for chewing gum during royal wedding and Victoria for sourpuss Along with his co-host Susanna Reid, he then pretended to chew in an impression of David at the wedding. He then turned on Victoria saying: "You're at the sunniest, happiest wedding in the world and you turn up looking like..." 5 The glam couple were among hundreds of guest at the Windsor service Credit: AFP or licensors MOST READ IN TV & SHOWBIZ KIM'S NEW KRUSH The men lining up to be Kim K's next partner as Kanye ‘dates Irina Shayk’ JOSS PERFECT Jac Jossa shows off her tiny waist after weight loss in pretty summer dresses 'WE'LL SEE' Louise Redknapp revealed Jamie wanted another baby when she was on Strictly GRANDE AFFAIR Ariana dazzles in white gown as she shares private pics from secret wedding a wright treat!

But Twitter made an exception Saturday, as fans wondered why Victoria Beckham, attending her second royal wedding, looked so glum. While her husband David beamed to the crowds and cameras, Victoria's expression was as serious as her relatively plain navy dress and hat. For the record, Beckham is aware she comes off a bit scowly. When she moved to the USA in 2007 after David joined MLS team the L.A. Galaxy, she told W Magazine, "I think (Americans) have this impression that I'm this miserable cow who doesn't smile. But I'm actually quite the opposite. When you're out there, they're trying to get pictures up your shirt, down your top. With all the flashes, it's as much as you can do to just find your car. I'm going to try and smile more for America." Maybe she abandoned that resolution when she moved home to the U.K.? In any event, one viewer thought Beckham misread the invitation and thought she was attending "the funeral of Meghan Markle's single life." Others wanted to know what she had to frown about. While others thought she was serving Addams Family realness or channeling Squidward, SpongeBob Squarepants' sourpuss neighbor. One user thought she was acting way too excited for a British wedding. And one even offered an explanation defending Beckham. More:Still friends!

Victoria Beckham knows fashion better than anyone and was front row at the royal wedding, so it's only fitting that she would have an opinion on Meghan Markle's wedding dress Victoria Beckham Reveals the Royal Wedding Was 'the Best Day' and Gushes About Meghan's Dress Victoria Beckham knows fashion better than anyone and was a royal wedding guest, so it’s only fitting that she would have an opinion on Meghan Markle‘s wedding dress. The former Spice Girl opened up about the Duchess of Sussex’s custom Givenchy wedding gown during her nuptials to Prince Harry in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday. While Beckham did not have the honor of designing Meghan’s gown (that went to Givenchy artistic director Clare Waight Keller), she did sit front row at the vows and said the new royal “looked absolutely beautiful.” “It really suited her,” Beckham, 44, told the Evening Standard in an interview published Wednesday. “I thought it was perfect for her. And Harry looked great.” Guests Arriving For The Royal Wedding Of Prince Harry and Meghan Victoria Beckham | Credit: Sipa via AP Images The mother of four also recalled what it was like sitting in St. George’s Chapel during the ceremony, saying it “was such a beautiful, incredible wedding.” “It was just the best day. They looked so happy, and everybody was just so happy for them,” she continued. “Meghan seems like a genuinely lovely woman, who really loves him. It felt very real, very honest.” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kiss as they exit St George's Cha Prince Harry and Meghan Markle | Credit: Sipa via AP Images The last time Beckham was at a royal wedding was in 2011 at the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
