London blazer, £180, and trousers, £115. Bralette, £50 

The collection has been unveiled to coincide with Beckham’s milestone birthday, which comes at a moment when she has never seemed more confident and content. Her brand is finally making a profit, and the world has come to recognise Beckham as a woman with vision and talent, and who doesn’t take herself too seriously (she sends herself up with a “My Dad Had a Rolls-Royce” T-shirt, available for £110 on her website, and, at her party, gave guests styles bearing the slogan “F— I’m fifty”). “Historically there has been a perception of me from the media, but now with social media people are able to see the real me,” she says. “I have always stayed true to myself and what I love.”
