The parade started with a crop top featuring a wet effect, paired with oversized suit pants. The top was dipped in resin to create the illusion of being molded directly onto the body, and the fabric along with the folds gave the impression of a light cape that could move at any moment (though it wouldn’t).
Despite the rigid structure of these garments, the fabric was crafted to look as if it were floating. Victoria Beckham has embraced this trend with her silk dresses (noting her love for slip dresses) that featured expertly crafted folds. A standout example was the emerald green design worn by runway star Gigi Hadid.
We’ve discussed the effect of transparent or naked styles extensively, and this trend has become a genuine fashion phenomenon. Victoria Beckham brought new life to it on the runway by presenting creative new ways to embrace this look. Beyond the classic transparent-skirt dress, she also showcased a range of shoes featuring the same sheer concept, highlighted by a plexiglass heel.
Additionally, Victoria Beckham has long been a fan of tailoring and formal attire. This season, more than ever, she aimed to subtly highlight feminine silhouettes. She accomplished this by creating tailored jackets and suits that were entirely deconstructed, featuring pants with thigh-high slits, giving the models a slightly irreverent vibe; meanwhile, the double-breasted jackets had one sleeve removed. The conventional pencil skirt, previously lackluster, transformed into a transparent low-cut version paired with a deep-cut body and a biker jacket.
In this way, using only two key pieces, Victoria Beckham redefined the standards of elegance for the upcoming season. We eagerly anticipate wearing these outfits in the next season.

Victoria Beckham’s Spring-Summer 2025 Fashion Revolution: From Crop Tops to Tailored Elegance
The Bold Statement of Wet Effect Crop Tops
The parade kicked off with a stunning showcase of crop tops featuring a unique wet effect, paired exquisitely with suit pants in a oversize cut. This eye-catching ensemble was ingeniously fashioned by dipping the crop tops in resin, creating the illusion of garments molded directly onto the skin. This innovative technique resulted in a fabric that not only looked dynamic but also felt reminiscent of a light cape, designed to sway and flow elegantly while remaining stationary.
Weightless Fabrics with an Imposing Structure
Though the construction of these dresses appeared rigid, the thoughtful fabric choices lent an airy quality, allowing freedom of movement. Victoria Beckham embraced this trend, incorporating silk dresses that showcased her signature affinity for slip dresses. Notably, the emerald green silk model, worn by supermodel Gigi Hadid, exemplified this trend through its masterful draping.
