Victoria Beckham is back in the headlines after fans had plenty to say about one of her latest looks.

In an Instagram video shared by her husband, David Beckham, the fashion designer was seen wearing a sheer black netted dress decorated with large, colorful flowers across the skirt. Beneath the sheer material, she appeared to wear a black bodysuit featuring a square-cutout back and plunging neckline, giving the ensemble a lingerie-inspired feel.

“Posh Spice” completed the look with a black leather clutch featuring fringe detailing and black high-heeled mules. Her hair was styled in a sleek, low ponytail.

Fans Are Divided Over Victoria Beckham’s Sheer Dress

The soccer star appeared to be filming Victoria’s outfit as well as the hotel where the couple was dining. In the video, he reflected on their history in Portofino.

“29 years ago we came to Portofino to this hotel before anyone knew we were dating and here we are back again. [@victoriabeckham] Portofino 97,” he said.

While David appeared to admire his wife’s look, fans in the comments section had mixed reactions to the dress.

“What is she wearing?” one person asked.

Another wrote, “That’s a very unflattering dress. I like Victoria, but this is like a bathing suit one-piece from Temu and a cover-up? What’s going on.”

“I do not think swimwear is appropriate for the dress code,” another commenter said.

One user added, “Looks like she has her swimming costume on.”

Another fan, however, suggested the setting may have explained the outfit, writing, “Usually love her style, not keen on this look, but I think they’re at the pool bar so it makes sense.”

Someone else simply asked, “Why is she wearing a swimsuit?”

Still, plenty of fans came to Beckham’s defense and argued that the criticism was unnecessary.

“The comments are terrible. The dress is beautiful in my opinion,” one person wrote.

Another said, “She’s with her husband—who is clearly admiring her as she moves… stop hating! She can pull off a dress like that.”

“Some people noticed the dress and completely missed the love story,” another fan commented.

One netizen wrote, “Her husband posted it because he loves it. She dressed up and he proudly walked out with her because he loves it and so does she. Why the rest of you are stressed out by an outfit that’s not even bothering either of them baffles me.”

David Posts His Romantic European Vacation With Victoria

The parents of four have been enjoying a fun-filled European summer, with plenty of time spent aboard yachts, swimming and dining at upscale restaurants alongside other A-list celebrities.

The 51-year-old has been documenting many of their adventures on social media, giving fans a glimpse into their travels. In one post, the couple sat aboard a boat while taking in the eclipse earlier in August, holding stones and crystals as they enjoyed the moment together.

In another post, David shared photos of the couple in Portofino, the Italian destination that holds a special place in their love story.

The pair even coordinated their outfits for the occasion, with the former Spice Girls singer wearing a low-cut, strappy brown maxi dress while David opted for a brown T-shirt and beige trousers.
