Victoria Beckham's Pared-Down Vogue Cover Will Inspire You to Embrace Uncomplicated Fashion

Victoria Beckham appears very much herself on the cover of British Vogue's October issue, though the slip-dress-clad designer's minimalist look couldn't be further from the Spice Girls image that brought her early fame in the '90s. That's a fact Victoria herself knows well and has come to appreciate, telling the magazine in a letter to herself:
"You are going to have so much fun with your clothes — PVC catsuits; chokers that say absurd things; weird spiky blonde hair. It will never occur to you that you appear ridiculous. You will turn up at awards ceremonies resembling a drag queen. But I look back at you and smile. It will add interest to your life to go from one extreme to another. I love the fact that you will feel free to express yourself."
We love it, too — and the fact that she's become a style icon for a generation of women who grew up imitating Posh Spice and are now taking a page from her modern, polished aesthetic. That is exactly what you'll find in these pages: a cool, uncomplicated version of sophistication that Victoria does so well. Read on to see the shoot in full.
