Ever since Kim Kardashian launched her cult solutionwear brand SKIMS back in 2018, functional shapewear has become increasingly present in the modern woman's wardrobe – both under clothes, and as fashion pieces in themselves.
And now, Victoria Beckham has also turned her sartorial talents to the category. Today, the designer unveiled the latest addition to her eponymous brand with the launch of her very own shapewear collection: VB Body.
Oozing elegance and feminine sensuality, the new VB Body capsule returns to the brand's body-con roots, celebrating sexiness at its purest and most simple – with the female form rightfully taking centre stage, no matter its shape.

Beckham has developed an exclusive fabric as her brand signature, consisting of a luxurious compact woven knit which gently sculpts, flatters and contours. Embracing size inclusivity, VB Body is available in UK sizes 4 – 18 and in a 'modern neutral' palette of black, white, blush and a rich chocolate brown, as well as a seasonal bold tomato red.
But in true VB style, corset-style details and asymmetrical necklines elevate the silhouettes beyond simple functionality, for pieces which are chic enough to wear on their own. Just sling an oversized blazer or trench over the top for the ultimate in laid-back cool, or rock one of the body-con dresses on a night out with heels.
