Victoria Beckham Swapped Heels For Chunky Trainers—I’m Shocked

Throughout my years as a fashion journalist, I've written countless articles about Victoria Beckham's style. Between her tenure as a Spice Girls member, her iconic mid-'00s stadium-side looks and her transition to designer at the helm of her namesake label, Beckham has provided me with more article fuel than most. And while I've covered many of her most notable looks, I have to admit that I've never seen her step out in an outfit that's surprised me quite as much as this.

Casting my eyes over her most recent look, I expected to see her casual ensemble completed with her typical sky-high heels—or a tall wedge, at least—but instead I was shocked to find that Beckham had left her signiture stilettos at home, and, for what might be the first time, the designer saw out her day in a pair of white chunky trainers.

Not one known to prioritise comfort, I've seen Beckham board planes, traverse bustling crowds and manage the maelstrom of Fashion Month without reaching for a flat shoe once, but this week, it was a simple stroll through Manhattan that saw the designer have a change of heart.
