Victoria Beckham and husband David Beckham reportedly had a secret rule for wedding guests at their 1999 wedding: everyone had to wear black and white.
This unusual request was revealed in a recently unearthed TV clip from the time. Ruth Langsford, a British TV presenter, was reporting on the wedding and asked her guest if it was true that guests could wear anything as long as it was black and white. Her guest confirmed the rumor, saying, “But it’s going to be rather dull, isn’t it?”
The monochrome request was unusual for a wedding at the time, as white is typically reserved for the bride and black is often associated with funerals. However, the Beckhams have always been known for their unique style, and their wedding was no exception.
It’s unclear why the Beckhams chose this specific dress code for their wedding guests. Some have speculated that it was a way to ensure that everyone looked coordinated and stylish. Others have suggested that it was simply a reflection of the Beckhams’ personal taste.
Whatever the reason, the Beckhams’ black and white dress code was certainly memorable. And it’s just one more example of how the couple has always been ahead of their time.
