With a full Spice Girls reunion including a performance of 'Stop', and a guest list boasting Tom Cruise and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, VB's 50th was an unmissable celebrity bash

Happy belated birthday, Victoria Beckham! Earlier this week the fashion designer and former Spice Girl turned 50, and the star celebrated her birthday with an exclusive party in London. To mark the major milestone, Beckham invited her family – husband David Beckham and children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper – and a few of her close friends to celebrate the special day. On the guest list? Her fellow Spice Girls Mel C, Mel B, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell, as well as other stars such as Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, and Rosie Huntingon-Whiteley.

The party was held at Oswald’s, a private members club in London – and it certainly looked like an incredibly festive affair. At one point, all five Spice Girls even took the stage for a brief performance of their smash hit, ‘Stop’.

All of the guests were, of course, also dressed impeccably. This is Posh Spice, after all, there was bound to be a chic dress code in effect. Beckham herself wore a sheer, minty green gown that was romantic and ethereal. The Beckhams were all coordinated in black tie – Harper in a white silk dress, and her brothers and father in black and white tuxedos. The VIP guests, meanwhile, all donned their best Victoria Beckham designs: Eva Longoria wore a black slip dress with lace details, while Huntington-Whiteley opted for a pale pink frock. It was like a mini VB fashion show.

The final note capped off the evening perfectly: David carrying Victoria out of the party, piggyback style. On her Instagram this weekend, Beckham shared a few thoughts on turning 50 – and she clearly will always remember the special day after celebrating with those closest to her. “As I get ready to step into 50 (in heels, of course!), I feel so incredibly blessed to have reached this milestone,” she wrote. “Blessed, but also accomplished and deeply content. Not just of where I am as a woman, but of how far my fashion and beauty brands have come. My ambition was always to empower women and make them feel like the best version of themselves. To me, that meant trusting my instinct and never compromising on my creative vision.”
