It has  been 26 years since she first appeared on Vogue, and Victoria Beckham proves she’s still got what it takes to be a cover star.

The singer opted for a daring black mini dress from her own label as she graced the cover of Vogue Australia, defying her 50-years as she showed off her svelte figure.

The fitness fanatic placed her toned arms above her head as she gave a sultry look to the camera.

In a more quirky shot, the former Spice Girl wore an oversized white wool coat from Alaia, an olive bodysuit by British designer Supriya Lele, and a pair of unusual burgundy-coloured thigh-high boots.

In the magazine, she is interviewed by Australian actress Nicole Kidman. The famous pair took time out from their summer holiday - Beckham, celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary in Corsica and Kidman in the Bahamas with her family - to speak over Zoom.

The former Posh Spice explains that she has entered the ‘next chapter’ in her 25-year marriage with former footballer David.

She said: ‘We didn’t have much of a social life when the children were younger, that is just that one thing too much. 

'Being a wife, mum and fulfilling your dreams in regards to what your passions are, and what you love to do in regards to work, was enough. But then the kids get older and they flee the nest and have their own passions. Now myself and David are in the next chapter.’

The pair share four children together, three sons, Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 19, and a daughter, Harper, 13.

The designer also gushed about her husband, telling Kidman the key to their long marriage was ‘respecting each other’ although confessed that it was ‘not always easy’.

She said: ‘Me and David can go away, just the two of us, and we laugh and we enjoy that time, and I think that’s so rare after so many years. It’s a pinch-me moment every day.’

Last year, the businesswoman appeared alongside her husband in a four-part Netflix documentary about his life. 

In one hilarious viral clip from the show, David mocks her claims to be ‘very working-class’ by forcing her to admit that she was driven to school in a Rolls-Royce. She clarified her comments in the Vogue interview.

She said: ‘We went to a regular school and we didn’t live in a big house,

‘The minute he made money he went and bought himself a Rolls-Royce. One day we’d go to school in the Rolls-Royce and one day we’d go in the van because he’d still work, he was an electrical wholesaler.

‘Me and my siblings used to beg him, can we please go to school in the white van? Like, we were mortified at the idea of going in the Rolls-Royce. 

'How things have changed. Nowadays, I’d be like, don’t worry about the van, let’s go in the Roller!’

The fashionista has also been mocked over the years for her iconic pout and serious facial expressions, but looking back Beckham thinks it has aided her career.

She said: ‘It kinda helps me out that for many years people thought that I was very serious, maybe a little stuck-up, never smiled in pictures. Let’s be honest, fashion works better when you don’t smile.’

She left her long brunette locks out and wore a natural makeup palette for the shoot.

Discussing her rock-solid relationship with David, she said:  'I have a husband I very much am still in love with, possibly more than when we first met.

'And we really support each other in regards to our careers and passions. I said to him last night – and the kids – "after 25 years, I love your dad so much and I support him and continue to want him to be the best version of himself, and he does that for me".'

She continued: 'I feel very thankful and grateful that I have not compromised with my career, and I can still do what I love, and I enjoy it.

'Me and David can go away, just the two of us, and we laugh and we enjoy that time, and I think that’s so rare after so many years. It’s a pinch-me moment every day.'

Nicole also agreed and spoke about her marriage to musician Keith Urban.

'I'm so lucky that I found it. It's such an unstable industry and he's my solace,' she said.

'Every day we get up in the morning and we go for a walk – and we hold hands. We love holding hands,' she added.

Victoria and David were married on July 4 1999 and share four children - Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21,  Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12.

The former pop star recently shared a loved-up snap to Instagram with David as they sailed down the Amalfi Coast on their £16million superyacht.

Former footballer David made the most of the sunshine as he stripped down to his green swimming trunks, showcasing his muscular tattooed physique. 

Meanwhile, fans rushed to comment on Victoria's youthful appearance, with one penning: 'Victoria looks 15'.

Others said that Victoria and her daughter Harper, who turned 13 earlier this month, looked like sisters.
