David and Victoria Beckham dazzled crowds as they walked the red carpet at the 2014 Met Gala Ball last night (May 5).

The couple showed up at the event, which was hosted by Vogue editor Anna Wintour, dressed in their finest white tie regalia.

39-year-old David looked every inch the gent in a Ralph Lauren suit comprised of a white jacket, black tie and pants. Meanwhile Victoria, 40, posed for the cameras in a cropped top floor-length white dress from her signature Pre-Fall 2014 collection.

The former Spice Girl-turned fashion designer shared a picture of her and David, with the message: ‘So proud to share such a great evening with my wonderful husband x vb #MetGala #CharlesJames’.

Wintour – who co-hosted this year’s party with Sarah Jessica Parker and Bradley Cooper – charged $25,000 a ticket, $10,000 more than last year’s price.

The theme was White Tie And Decorations, an ode to Anglo-American designer Charles James.

So, the Met Ball – the biggest fashion and charity night of the year and it’s usually all about the girls. It appears that this year one of the ladies’ favourite accessories was a handsome man in a white tuxedo jacket. David Beckham, somewhat of a menswear style guru (let’s not talk about the sarong phase, all is forgiven) stepped out in a Ralph Lauren Black label white dress jacket. Diane Kruger flashed her rather handsome beau, Dawson’s Creek alumni Joshua Jackson in a similar get up and Beyonce was arm in arm with husband Jay-Z wearing a snow coloured Givenchy piece.  This season has been all about brands introducing made to measure services and affordable suiting for all- So why stick to the traditional black or grey suit? It’s time to explore your options:  A white tuxedo jacket is the perfect way to stand out. Match it with black trousers and shoes- the jacket is jazzy enough without you adding in more, you don’t need to over egg the pudding on this one.

What’s more, you can get one just like it here.
