Is Victoria Beckham losing her touch as a style icon? Critics think so!
The British entertainer has experienced one of history's most successful career transitions, from serving as a member of the Spice Girls to becoming a WAG and finally a fashion designer. The 48-year-old is a no doubt multi-hyphenate star.
As a stylist, the media personality's brand boasts creative numbers incorporating various colors. However, the Queen of color-blocking's most recent glamorous dress made fans question her tastes.
Critics Bash Victoria Beckham's £1250 Dress For Being An Expensive Mess
On the norm, the "Victoria's Secrets" star never disappoints with her fashion designs, but her latest outfit seemed to be the exception. On March 30, the TV personality updated her Instagram page with a bold look from her Spring 2023 collection.
The draped dress featured a mix of different styles created using two colors. The exposed back flaunted the outfit's red skirt, which flowed in a long train, while the front continued the provocative design with its blue frilled fabric and plunging neckline.
Because of its sleeveless nature, the dress could only be secured around the wearer's neck with its attached wrap. With large side cutouts, Beckham's assets were exposed from all angles, but the entertainer appeared comfortable in the racy outfit.
The "Learning to Fly" author struck two stunning poses at what appeared to be a poolside photoshoot and joked about the affair in her caption. "Just lounging round the pool in this casual little number!" the 48-year-old penned, revealing that her dress was available on her brand's website.
Hours after dropping the post, the images garnered over 50,000 likes and hundreds of comments. However, fans had mixed reactions to the designer's latest look, with the majority describing the dress as a disaster.
"Looks like wonder woman," a fan teased, while another noted that they liked the dress from the back before noticing the front. "Beautiful red back, then it gets ruined by that blue monstrosity," the individual lamented.
Several people shared similar sentiments about the contrasting designs, with a third criticizing the outfit. "I am sorry, but it is not nice. The red part is better than The blue looks confusing, and The mix of colors is very awkward," the person wrote.
"The blue with The red? Looks like two different half-done dresses stitched together and have different looks," the fan continued, ending their rant by completing Beckham's red boots. Others hated the outfit because its frilled front resembled a kitchen ensemble.
"Is it an apron???" Someone blatantly asked, "How horrible…who would wear something like that? Lol," another chimed. "Are you running out of ideas?" A critic wondered while another troll cried for anyone who would spend £1250 to buy the apron dress.
Although diehard devotees and celebrities like skin care expert Melanie Grant and fitness influencer Senada Greca supported the dress positively, many believed Beckham's outfit was not worth its exorbitant price.

There were also pictures of the multi-hyphenate star alongside shots of the couple's respective mothers in matching pants and blazers. The doting husband captioned the sweet photo dump with his love for these beautiful women.
"Today we celebrate our Mum's ❤️ growing up; I couldn't have wished to have more support and love in my life than my mum's x," the 47-year-old gushed. "Then I meet a woman who is strong and driven and the most amazing mum to our children."
