Over the past decade, the former Spice Girl has made it abundantly clear that the classic style is a favourite, sporting various styles in different colourways and fabrics to red carpet events, festive family dinners and beyond.

To the untrained eye, you’d think there wouldn’t be much variation in the tailoring world, but on Thursday night the mother of four schooled us all on just how easy it is to elevate the traditional dress code and turn it into a sleek, sophisticated and sultry statement.

To celebrate her eponymous brand’s Dover Street turning 10 years old, the fashion mogul invited her nearest and dearest for an intimate evening of cocktails, canapes and peak-chic style.

For the occasion, the lady of the hour decided to style her signature shawl tuxedo jacket with matching trousers - a go-to for the 50-year-old icon. To add an extra layer of glam, VB layered her plunge-neck lace bodysuit underneath, the dainty detailing just peeking out from underneath her blazer’s satin trim lapel.

Topping off the outfit, she decided to carry a mini version of her famous Dorian bag in a festive deep cherry hue and added a slim belt around her waist in the same tone to tie the look together.

Victoria was as expected, in good company for the occasion. Her husband David and daughter Harper were in attendance to support while famous names including Rose Uniacke, Sarah Harris and Holly Ramsay joined in.
