Posh and Becks: A look back at 20 years of love and looks

Posh and Becks have proved the critics wrong as the former Manchester United player and Spice Girl celebrate 20 years since two became one and giving romantics around the word serious #couplesgoals. And some spicy fashion looks.

Why these celeb marriages stood the test of time

They said it wouldn’t last.

Well, Posh and Becks have proved the critics wrong today as the blessed union between the former Manchester United and Spice Girl reaches a two-decade milestone with the pair giving romantics around the word serious #couplesgoals.

Sure the partnership which has been lived in the harsh glare of the world spotlight, has not been without its difficulties, but it has also been a marriage that has defied the odds.

Victoria Beckham recounted first meeting her husband, penning a letter to her younger self in Vogue magazine, saying:

“He’s going to ask for your number. (He still has the London-to-Manchester plane ticket on which you wrote it.”

Not only did David keep the ticket, he also raced home and wrote the number “on about half a dozen other bits of paper and left them in different rooms, just in case.”

Now if that doesn’t give you the warm and fuzzies, their shared love of style might.

To celebrate twenty years since two became one and Posh and Becks cemented their position as our generation’s power couple, we take a look back at their joint style that no doubt kept the spice in their marriage.
