Victoria Beckham is having, in her words, a “Perfect end to summer” in a look totally reminiscent of her Spice Girls days—multiple black LBDs.
Victoria—then Victoria Adams—popularized the short little black dress in the mid-1990s, so much so that it became her Posh Spice uniform in the group’s heyday. The fashion and beauty founder—married to David Beckham since 1999 and with whom she shares four kids—is proving nearly 30 years later that the look still has legs as she shared snaps from her family’s Italian summer vacation on Instagram.

Photos included the Beckhams bundled up in one another aboard a boat in front of a cave; Victoria in an LBD and a baseball cap on a boat; another Spice Girls-coded reference with Victoria throwing up a peace sign; a family photo—yet again in an LBD—and plenty of family moments from the Beckham family holiday.

Their son Romeo turned 23 years old on September 1, and proud dad David praised him as someone who is “kind, humble, polite, hard working and the most special person to everyone. We love you so much.” Victoria said of her son, “You are our everything. We love you so much.”
“Your love and kindness fills our hearts every day,” she added.

The Beckhams have been vacationing near the Amalfi Coast this summer ahead of multiple new projects for Victoria, including collaborating with Augustinus Bader to launch her very own foundation, the Foundation Drops, which, well, drops on September 3—just one day away.
“Foundation has been a dream of mine since I first started Victoria Beckham Beauty,” she told Elle. “I originally wanted it to be the first product I produced, but it’s such a competitive category. I wasn’t ready for it. This has been on my mind and heart, and we’ve been working on it for longer than I remember.”

Victoria—who has been vulnerable about struggles with her skin over the years—added, “I get photographed a lot, and the perfect foundation was always the one product I couldn’t find. I’ve never found [one with] the correct amount of coverage, and that treats and doesn’t irritate my skin.
“People don’t need more product unless there’s a real reason why,” she continued. “I believe there is nothing else like this.”

She added that she wore her foundation throughout the filming of her upcoming docuseries, Victoria Beckham, on the red carpet, and for photoshoots: “Looking back at those pictures, it really satisfies me,” she said.
Speaking of her Netflix docuseries, husband David said in an appearance on the Today show earlier this year that he encouraged Victoria to do her own docuseries after the success of his own, called Beckham: “It wasn’t the most easiest thing to get her to agree to,” David said, adding that, “In my opinion, she was the star of mine. So I just thought, ‘This is the opportunity.’”

“She’s been working on her brand for the last 18 years,” he continued. “She is unbelievably hardworking, and no one gets to see that. So I convinced her to let people actually see what she does every day and what goes into her business. She’s a very clever and hardworking lady, so I want people to see that.”
