Inside Victoria Beckham’s £500 personalised goody bags for Hollywood pals as stars leave her lavish 50th birthday bash
VICTORIA Beckham made sure guests at her lavish 50th birthday extravaganza didn’t leave empty handed – stuffing shopping bags embossed with her name with goodies worth £500 for the superstars to take home.
Hollywood’s elite including Salma Hayek and Eva Longoria, and Spice Girls Mel C and Emma Bunton left the Mayfair bash in the early hours clutching a signature Victoria Beckham bag.
Now The Sun can reveal the luxury contents packaged by Posh’s team.
Victoria is a big fan of the Figuier Scented Candle from the renowned French fragrance brand Diptyque, that sells for £285, and gifted one to each of her famous guests.
The 1.5kg wax candle burns for 150 hours and wafts around her Dover Street shop, with shoppers relaxing to notes of woody fig and sun-dried fruit found along the Mediterranean coastline.
Victoria, who added perfume to her beauty brand in 2018, popped in a bottle of her new luxury scents inspired by her favourite places in the world.
Named Portofino ’97, Suite 302 and San Ysidro Drive, they sell at £245 a bottle.
Sophisticated, unique and rich – the trio of fragrances launched last autumn in the latest extension to her beauty brand.
Reminising key memories of Victoria’s life, Portofino ’97 evokes her first romantic getaway with David to Italy when nobody but their closest friends knew about the relationship.
Suite 302 is one of the rooms they stayed in during whirlwind trips to Paris for anniversaries and fashion shows.
And San Ysidro Drive, named after a gated Spanish compound in Beverly Hills, reflects the Beckham’s time in California.
Personalised black labels were attached to each of the bags and featured the individual star’s name in a decorative caligraphy.
Victoria’s niece Tallulah-May Flood, and Gordon and Tana Ramsay were also spotted leaving the star-studded birthday party holding a bag.
Spend It Like Beckham
David Beckham splurged an estimated £250,000 on his wife Victoria’s 50th birthday celebration, where A-list guests, led by Tom Cruise, graced the opulent affair.
The lavish event saw Victoria hosting 40 close friends, including a Spice Girls reunion with Geri Horner, Mel B, Emma Bunton, and Mel C.
The soirée spared no expense with £3,000 bottles of Chateau Mouton Rothschild, £500 champagne bottles, and gourmet cuisine prepared by a private chef on every table.
Daughter Harper wore an elegant cream silk dress and her brothers and dad in black-tie suits.
Guests indulged in champagne, cocktails, and a sumptuous four-course dinner, with Italian-inspired starters and main courses of sea bass and steak.
Birthday girl Victoria was presented with a grand birthday cake, followed by guests hitting the dancefloor.
An insider said: “David really splashed the cash. He wanted it to be extra-special for her after she always makes such an effort for everyone else.”
