Victoria Beckham looked like a true office siren when she arrived at Paris Fashion Week with her son, Romeo, on Sept. 23. The designer won't be showing her eponymous label's latest collection in the City of Lights until Friday, Sept. 27, and for that occasion she will surely wear of her own designs. In the meantime, she's staying comfortable in a distressed Balenciaga long-sleeved top with a lace-trimmed neckline and strategically placed holes climbing the arms. She paired the not-so-basic T-shirt with a dark gray pinstripe skirt that features a visible black lace panel at the hem, from Balenciaga's Summer 2024 collection.
The look plays right into the "corporate fetish" trend cycle that dominated fashion TikTok in 2023 after the coquette aesthetic's chokehold on the platform finally began to wane. Whereas the coquette princess might prefer pastels, ruffles, and ballet flats, the office siren gravitates toward menswear-inspired tailoring, corporate colors, and lingerie-inspired details.

The former British pop star accented the otherwise monochromatic black look with a pair of towering cherry red patent leather pumps from Alaïa and two delicate chain anklets—one for each foot, that is. But even those statement-making heels couldn't distract me from ogling her matte black alligator skin Hermès Birkin Sellier 25 with palladium hardware, which is currently valued at a whopping $82,500. A master of high-low dressing, Beckham finished the look with a pair of ski mask-inspired black sunglasses from her own line.

Victoria Beckham has always dressed to her own style beat, but her outfit for the final leg of fashion week looked somewhat familiar. Just last week in Los Angeles, Jennifer Lopez coordinated a croc Birkin of her own with a Brunello Cucinelli sweater set in the same shade of beige. When a bag commands that much attention, of course the rest of the outfit revolves around it.
