00s WAG Style Returns for World Cup: Recreate Iconic Looks

00s WAG style is back on the fashion agenda, making a strong comeback this summer with the arrival of the World Cup. From oversized designer sunglasses to England baby tees and sky-high heels, the iconic looks worn by Victoria Beckham and Cheryl during the golden era of WAG dressing are once again inspiring fashion enthusiasts.

Victoria Beckham's Signature WAG Style

Long before her signature quiet luxury looks, Victoria Beckham sported figure-hugging dresses, oversized handbags, and micro shorts while supporting David Beckham from the stands. Her style is making a surprising comeback for 2026, with tailored waistcoats, mini denim shorts, and statement bags elevating even the most basic looks.

Recreate Victoria's Look

This look is peak Victoria Beckham WAG era: a navy waistcoat, tiny denim shorts, and a turquoise Birkin Bag. To recreate the vibe with a 2026 twist, pair a River Island waistcoat with a higher square neckline, frayed Topshop shorts, a turquoise Bershka bag, and nude flip-flop heels for effortless glam.
