Victoria Beckham’s Mango Collection Has the hot Silhouettes Fashion Girls Want

Much like everything Beckham has done recently, this collection had gone viral when it was announced in early April. On TikTok, videos popped up on my FYP with excited fans’ heads floating over a green screened photo of the style icon, exclaiming they were “Screaming” and “Dead” over the news. I had felt the same. By the time I found myself standing feet away from the newly 50-year-old designer, I fully understood why we were all so gagged. The collection is everything Beckham is: cool, easy, effortless, and yes, very Posh.

Mango has quickly become a favorite not just amongst those who love clothing but also those who actually love fashion. In New York I often see cool girls on the streets styling their latest Sandy Liang loafers with a pair of Mango capris or accessorizing a head-to-toe Mary Nassir Zadeh look with a Mango scrunchie and chunky jewelry. When I brought this up to an editor at the party she agreed, “Mango is that brand It girls turn to when they want to attainably fill in the gaps of a wardrobe inspired by the runway.”

I’ve long been a fan of the Spanish brand for that exact reason. Before it made its way stateside in 2006, I would shop at Mango while visiting my family in Andalucía as a fashion-obsessed tween. When I’d go back home to New York, I’d brag about my Mango finds like they were designer gems. And honestly, they might as well have been because they still made me feel like the kind of fashion girl I grew up so desperately wanting to become. And now, all these years later, it’s become a go-to for the very fashion girls I’m friends with, who can often be seen posting about their Mango wishlists alongside their The Real Real favorites. In 2024, everyone brags about their Mango finds alongside their designer gem finds that they plan to wear all together.

And so a collection with Victoria Beckham, one of the most stylish women and designers alive, doesn’t just feel right for Mango—it feels inevitable.

When I asked her about how it all came together she said, “I really wanted to speak to a wider audience in a way that feels relevant to my brand and retains my aesthetic and DNA, and I am very proud of what we have created together. It feels very modern to bring the two brands together and build on our expertise, and I was very impressed by the Mango teams’ level of execution, attention to detail and savoir-faire.” She described the process as fairly easy, “It was an exciting challenge to embrace another creative process without compromising on the creative and desirability. I also feel that we have a shared ethos, aesthetic and values around femininity, quality and a real love of product.”

As for who exactly the Victoria Beckham x Mango woman is, she said, “The woman is multi-faceted. It’s not about being any one type of woman but for me it’s really about wanting whoever wears my collections to feel empowered and…like the best version of themselves.”

The collection itself feels inspired by the coastal Spanish beach town the launch celebration took place in, with slinky slip dresses you can wear barefoot or with a pair of vintage mules and blazers that look just as good over a button-down top as they do with a mesh bra-top Beckham also designed.

Beckham admits she loves “the easy slip dresses and the tailoring” for the collection in particular. “I have always played with both the feminine and masculine and want to offer an effortless women’s wardrobe that is versatile and wearable yet rooted in modernity with a sophisticated ease. Something might appear simple but so much thought and execution has gone into how that piece fits or sits on the body, the way it creates a strong silhouette—It’s always about silhouette for me.”

Looking out into the crowd of people surrounding her, I noticed not just how badly I want everything everyone is wearing but also how different everyone still looks, despite all of them wearing something from the same collection. Chung still looked like herself as did Emily Ratajkowski as did a Mango girl who had worn the triple-beaded chain belt not with a pair of trouser pants but slung low around the waist of a long black dress. Everyone is feeling themselves on the dance floor or while wistfully taking photos while overlooking the ocean.

A friend turns to me as I’m about to tap her on the shoulder and we both utter two different versions of the same sentiment from earlier: “Yeah, we need it all.”
