David and Victoria Beckham made a striking power couple as they arrived at the Met Gala in New York on Monday evening for the star-studded event hosted by Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
Yet amid the parade of famous names from fashion, music and film, Victoria appeared most delighted to be spending the evening alongside her husband of thirteen years.
She later shared a photograph gazing affectionately at David, writing: ‘So proud to share such a great evening with my wonderful husband x vb #MetGala #CharlesJames’.

The glamorous couple held hands for the cameras on the red carpet, immediately becoming one of the night’s biggest attractions in their coordinated white looks.
Victoria, 40, wore a white column dress from her own fashion collection, teamed with matching vertiginous heels. Diamond drop earrings, a coordinating bracelet and a ring completed her look.
Despite the sweeping length of her gown and the towering heels, Victoria made her way effortlessly up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the gala was held.

Her handsome husband David, 39, matched her monochrome style with a white suit jacket, black trousers and a coordinating bow tie.
Wintour, who was co-hosting this year’s gala with Sarah Jessica Parker and Bradley Cooper, had set the ticket price at $25,000—$10,000 more than the previous year’s cost.
The theme for the evening was White Tie and Decorations, paying tribute to Anglo-American designer Charles James.
Victoria and David had stayed together throughout the day, having earlier been photographed leaving their hotel to enjoy lunch together.
