David Beckham (49) and his wife Victoria Beckham (50) attended a lavish state banquet at Buckingham Palace in honor of the Qatari royals. The exclusive invitation to the event was kept secret until the evening began. Beckham, the former England national soccer team captain, was invited in his role as an ambassador for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Victoria Beckham steals the show

The glamorous event, also attended by King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Prince of Wales, was held in honor of the Emir of Qatar and his wife, Sheikha Jawaher. David Beckham looked dashing in an elegant black tuxedo, but the real star of the evening was his wife Victoria, who captivated everyone with a stunning dress.

Victoria opted for a long-sleeved black dress with twisted details at the waist for the glamorous occasion. The 1,490-dollar design was unsurprisingly from her own collection, made of shiny stretch jersey. She wore her hair slicked back and paired the outfit with a gold clutch. With a smokey eye look, open black heels, and dangling earrings, Victoria's ensemble was the perfect statement of style at the event.

The Beckhams and the royals

David Beckham, who has attended numerous royal events in the past, including his investiture with the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2017, made his debut at a state banquet. His attendance at this prestigious event has sparked speculation that he could be in line for a knighthood. Beckham was awarded an OBE in 2003 for his services to soccer, while his wife, Victoria, received the same honor in 2017.

Speculation about David Beckham's knighthood

Discussions regarding a possible knighthood for David Beckham have been ongoing for years. In 2013, reports surfaced about his alleged dissatisfaction with the Honors Committee after leaked emails revealed his disappointment with the awarding of honors to other celebrities. Beckham's spokesperson denied the allegations, stating the emails had been misinterpreted and manipulated.
