Victoria Beckham is once again proving her influence in the fashion world—not just with her critically acclaimed Paris Fashion Week collection but also with her effortless French street style.
While out in Paris with her daughter Harper, Beckham wore a striking trench coat with an exaggerated collar that concealed most of her face. The unique silhouette rendered her almost anonymous, but her signature oversized sunglasses and flared denim jeans ensured the look remained quintessentially her. It was minimal, sophisticated, and undeniably modern—everything we expect from her and more.
The best part, however, is that this outfit serves as the ultimate guidance for how to style a trench coat. Beckham’s look proves that in 2025, a trench coat isn’t just a layering piece, it can also be the main event. By keeping the rest of the outfit simple, the coat is central, showing that a piece of outerwear can define an entire look—something to remember for spring capsule wardrobe inspiration.
