Per The Internet, so of course it is true, Posh and Becks popped up in Venice twenty years ago for the launch of INTIMATE BECKHAM, which as you may recall — I did not — was their his-and-her fragrance collection. Or, I should say, IS their his-and-her fragrance collection, because they’re still making and presumably selling the men’s version. (It appears the Beckhams have a LOT of perfumes in their licensing stable. I read once that celebrity perfumes often make a TON of money for the celeb in question, and David specifically has made MILLIONS from these, so good for them. Perfumes for everyone!)
To place this in history, in September 2006, Becks was playing for Real Madrid, and we had just concluded the World Cup in which Posh cemented her place in history as the greatest WAG of all time. Additionally, this is also a period of time where they both have good hair:
Given that the perfumes were named Intimately, I have to admit that it makes sense that Posh is wearing what looks, essentially, like jumped-up lingerie. The sheers, my friends — they have perhaps always been with us. (The folks who worked at this hotel do seem to really approve.)
The next time, tootling around Venice, Victoria wore Bedsheets By Miu Miu….
…and Becks carried an enormous bag (I confess to always loving a huge bag, I get it) and his costume for any performance of Newsies that might break out.
