Last week, one of our favourite celebrity couples – David and Victoria Beckham – celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary and we loved seeing all the behind-the-scenes images that Victoria in particular shared with her fans online.
VB and former Manchester United legend David in particular delighted fans as they recreated their iconic purple ensembles to mark their landmark relationship anniversary. Mother-of-four Victoria stepped out in her Antonio Berardi dress, which was strapless and had show-stopping floral detailing and a thigh-high leg split. David followed suit (excuse the pun) rewearing his tailored two-piece from the day in the same shade. How amazing?
Of course, Victoria’s actual wedding dress was the stuff of dreams, by arguably the most famous bridal designer of all time, Vera Wang. Her satin creation was simple but bold, and inspired many dresses that year. The champagne-coloured ball gown featured a corset by none other than Mister Pearl, a couture corsetiere who has made some seriously famous people corsets, from Kylie Minogue to Dita Von Teese.
Fashion designer Victoria shared an unseen picture online of herself in the dress ahead of the nuptials and her waist looks absolutely miniscule. She tagged Mister Pearl’s Instagram in the picture.

Kanye West’s former wife made jaw literally hit the floor with her waist which looked impossibly small. It was revealed Mister Pearl constructed the corset for this style, too.
