Victoria Beckham looked sensational as she posed ahead of her 50th birthday celebration with family.

The fashion designer stunned in a semi-sheer floor-length blue gown as she stood alongside her husband David, 48, on the stairs at their London home in a picture shared on Instagram.

Victoria’s elegant sleeveless dress was fathered at the waist and featured decorative floral detail to the side.

She could be seen holding hands with David, who looked dashing in a black dinner suit which he wore with a matching bow tie and white shirt.

In another photograph, Victoria posed with her children, draping her arm over the shoulder of her middle son Romeo, 21. 

Footballer Romeo wore a suit to match his famous father, as did his older brother Brooklyn, 25.

Victoria’s youngest son Cruz donned a cream dinner suit which he teamed with a black bow tie and a pair of black and white brogue shoes.

The aspiring pop star completed his look with a pair of light brown braces and posed casually with his hand in his pockets.

Meanwhile, Victoria’s daughter Harper, 12, wore an elegant white satin dress and a pair of open-toed shoes in the same colour.

Victoria has chosen one of her favourite London hotspots to celebrate her 50th birthday, which was on Wednesday 17 April, with the designer set to mark the occasion with a star-studded dinner at the private members club Oswald’s this weekend.

Oswald’s has long been a favourite for the Beckham brood, with David and Victoria pictured leaving the swanky eatery on many occasions.

Given their vast celebrity circle of pals, including Gordon Ramsay and Eva Longoria, no doubt Victoria’s guest list will be a who’s who of big names, heading to the venue for an intimate celebration.

Oswald’s is certainly credited for its discretion, with no social media presence, and even its website offers little insight into what guests can expect when they step through the unassuming front door.

The club’s interior is no doubt inspired by The Gilded Age, with chandeliers, columns and red upholstered chairs, while a mantlepiece is adorned with roses and greenery, changed twice a week, according to Tatler.

Upstairs’ the restaurant, where Victoria and her pals will dine in luxury to mark her birthday, boasts a stairwell lined with framed posters, paintings and dog portraits.

The restaurant itself boasts a colourful aesthetic, with patterned upholstered chairs, bold ceramics on the walls, and velvet Ikat cushions.

The South African-inspired menu and tequila cocktails are a favourite among guests, and Victoria will likely indulge in one of her few vices, a glass of wine or two.

A source previously told The Mail last week that Victoria is delighted that she will be joined by all four of her children, including son Brooklyn, for her celebration.

They said: ‘It will be a small, intimate, family gathering, and it is literally the best present that she could have.

‘It will be close to their London home. David has pulled a few surprises but what Victoria really wants is to be surrounded by her loved ones.

‘The kids are staying for a few days, which Victoria loves, and they will all join her at her posh dinner on Saturday night.’

The family will be joined by a group of close friends for this. While the guest list will be selective, it’s thought to include some ‘well known names’ including her best friend Tana Ramsay and her husband Gordon.

As recently as last month, Brooklyn Beckham celebrated his 25th birthday with dinner at the establishment, joined by wife Nicola Peltz and her parents.

As they left the establishment, David was spotted slipping the doorman a £20 tip by way of thanks, as they made their way home after dinner.

In 2020, David also enjoyed a night out at the club, joined by pals including Dave Gardner and Jack Whitehall. 

Compared to some historic stalwarts, Oswald’s is a new addition to London’s private members club landscape, but has become a favourite for global stars visiting the capital.

The club is owned by British entrepreneur Robin Birley, who also owns and runs 5 Hertford Street, nearby – where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly had their first date.

It’s significant that Birley himself chooses to spend his evenings at Oswald’s, welcoming guests personally in the company of pet dog Peg , or holding court with friends.

Opened in 2018, the private members club is named after Robin Birley’s grandfather, Sir Oswald, a royal portraitist. His late grandfather’s photo hangs proudly behind the reception desk, according to Tatler.

There aren’t many venues that could mention Boris and Carrie Johnson, several other major Conservative Party figures, the Queen and Tom Cruise in the same breath, but they are among those to have dined in style at the hushed-up restaurant.

Cruise joined Beyonce and Jay-Z, as well as actor Henry Cavill, for dinner here last month – with Cruise’s patient dealings with fans irritating taxi drivers.

Elton John and his husband David Furnish enjoyed a festive dinner at Oswald’s earlier this month, while Liz Hurley has been snapped here on a night out, as have Dame Joan Collins, Michael Caine and Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka.

Oswald’s attracts royalty of all kinds, too: from Queen Camilla, who joined a family party last month, to the Queen of Pop, Madonna, pictured at the venue last year.
