LIFE long lover of the LBD, Victoria Beckham, has started a new celeb trend of little black dresses with a twist.
Enter the LLD – that’s the Little Lace Dress.
The 50-year-old designer made black dresses her signature style in the mid nineties when the Spice Girls first burst onto the screen.
Now she’s ditching dense fabrics for delicate lace.
She posed on Instagram in a floor length design and captioned the sexy snap with “fittings”, whilst revealing a matching lace bra and briefs.
And where Posh leads, celebs will follow and a whole host of A-listers Wannabe just like her.

The trend is sweeping red carpets all around the world from the VMA’s to NTAs and even the prestigious Venice Film Festival.
At the NTA’s former Love Island contestant Jess Harding, 23, wore a floor sweeping lace gown with built in corsetry that shaped her hourglass figure.
Love Island host Maya Jama, 30, is no stranger to the trend.
A big fan of lace, she went for a lace-up front, see through dress at the Warner Music Brits afterparty earlier this year.

Plus, Maura Higgins posted a sultry pic on her social media wearing a sheer gown whilst on holiday.
The 33-year-old TV personality wowed her followers in the frock that showed off her coordinated barely there underwear which lead fans to comment ‘This is unreal’ and ‘Stunning’.
But it’s not just for Love Islanders.
No stranger to flashing flesh, Kim Kardashian is also a fan.
Earlier this year the 43-year-old billionaire attended designer brand Balenciaga Fall/ Winter fashion show in Paris.
Her vamp-like gown may have covered her whole body but it left little to the imagination.
And of course, she was displaying her lingerie from her own brand, Skims.
Kim did leave onlookers confused when they saw that she had left the dresses tag hanging out of the scoop-backed design.
However, it was intentional.
Alongside Balenciaga, other high end fashion designers have championed the illusion fabric on the catwalk.
Actress and director of Don’t Worry Darling Olivia Wilde was at Michael Kors fashion show this week in New York wearing a ‘LLD’ with waist-shaping black briefs with no bra.
Plus, Dolce & Gabbana sent their models, including Naomi Campbell, down the catwalk in bra-like tops finished with bows as well as laced veils on their hats.
And other hit brands Chloe, Simone Rocha and Valentino are all flogging lace this season too.
But don’t worry.
If you haven’t got the disposable income for designer gear, fear not as the high street is already with LLD’s that will see you through autumn and to the party season.
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals her best picks of lace on the high street.

What are the key a/w24 trends?
Blush pink – From sugary pastel shades through to dusty blush, pink will be much more wearable this autumn/winter.
Trench coats – Whilst the trench is a timeless wardrobe staple all year round, now it’s a safe classic rather than a spotlight piece.
New suiting – The ‘quiet luxury’ trend has evolved into wearable workwear, and autumn/winter is full of the cooler ways to do suits – think relaxed blazers and wide-leg trousers, as well as the rise of more feminine skirt co-ords.
Block black – Valentino set the trend with an entirely black catwalk set, and monochrome never really goes out of fashion.
’70s boho – Chanel showcased shearling and Dior debuted double denim, the 70s are back. Look for chiffon blouses and flowing boho dress which you can layer with a roll neck, wear with over-the-knee boots and finish with a trench coat.
Leopard print – Whether you disagree or not with “leopard print is a neutral”, it’s taking over this season from leopard print denim trousers, mini skirts, full on dresses and blouses. The print is versatile and fun.
