Victoria Beckham has given an insight into her ‘wonderful’ 50th birthday celebrations after throwing a £250,000 party in London and flying to France by private jet.
In an Instagram video with Vogue uploaded on Tuesday, the fashion designer talked about her whirlwind week as she celebrated her collection launch with Mango in Barcelona.
Posh said on her birthday, which was last Wednesday, she travelled to the south of France with David, their children and her parents before hosting a star-studded party in London.
She told fans: ‘I have just celebrated my birthday and I had the best birthday week. On my actual birthday I went to the south of France with the children and David and with my parents and we just had a wonderful day.
‘We had lunch, we had some drinks. We had dinner and I had the best time just with my family and then to celebrate my birthday I had a party in London which was so much fun.’

Victoria went on to tell fans what items in her collection she would wear while staying in their £12million Cotswolds farmhouse or for a meeting at Vogue.
‘A day in the Cotswolds, if it’s the summer I might wear one of the slip dresses with a sandal,’ she said.
‘If I’m going to the Vogue offices I would be smart and I would wear the tailoring’, she added as she showed off her white suit.
For her mammoth birthday celebrations, Posh and David, 48, flew by private jet to the south of France with their four children; Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper and Victoria’s parents Jackie and Tony
The fashion designer and the retired footballer, 48, then took a chaffeur-driven car to £200-a-head restaurant in Saint-Paul de Vence on the French Riviera, believed to be the famous La Colombe d’Or.
The couple, their four children along with Victoria’s parents Jackie and Tony and were later flown back to Luton Airport.
A source told The Sun: ‘David chose somewhere incredibly remote.
‘The restaurant regularly hosts A-list celebrities during the Cannes film festival so none of the Riviera locals bat an eyelid when they see a celebrity.
‘Victoria had an amazing fine wine-fuelled afternoon, soaking up the rays al fresco, overlooking the Med and enjoying her favourite white fish.’

Victoria gushed that being reunited with her Spice Girls bandmates was the ‘best gift’ she could wish for as she celebrated her 50th on Saturday night
Earlier in the night during the lavish festivities, all five of the Spice Girls came together to sing one of their hit tracks, Stop, for the star-studded guests
La Colombe d’Or is a favourite of the Beckhams, having visited there in the past for romantic dinner.
The world-famous restaurant is based in St Paul de Vence, where celebrities such as Sean Connery, Johnny Depp and Joan Collins have holiday homes.
It is steeped in history as a restaurant where impoverished artists used to give paintings for food. The works of Yves Klein, Leger, Picasso and Cezanne, worth millions, still adorn the walls.
The menu, concocted by Paul Roux, features a basket of crudités and a host of famous starters: grilled peppers in olive oil, caramelised onions, stuffed baby vegetables, baked Provençal tomatoes, beans, anchovies, aubergines and other specialities from the Midi.
Then on Saturday, the family partied until the early hour as she celebrated her 50th birthday surrounded by her family and celebrity friends.
Declaring it ‘the best night ever’, the Spice Girl had to be carried out of swanky Mayfair private members’ club Oswald’s by her husband David at 2:30am after celebrating with her Spice Girls bandmates and Tom Cruise.
Her recent foot injury saw the star rely on crutches for her glam entrance hours earlier, but she had her husband on hand for a piggy back as the night came to a close.
Giggling behind her heavily tinted sunglasses, Victoria was seen slumped against her family after being carried into the waiting car.
David was without his jacket as the family made their way home.
The prices for the new Victoria Beckham Mango collection
But Posh was back to work on Monday as she was seen arriving in Girona for the launch of her Mango collection.
Her first foray onto the high street, the new collection is priced at just a tenth of the price of Victoria’s own label after it’s said she wants to become ‘more relatable’.
A transparent black silk dress is priced at £210 and she has also launched a range of accessories including £120 leather sandals, £140 high heels and a £60 handbag.
Her trademark slip dresses, knitwear and tailoring have been recreated at a more purse-friendly price point, compared to the £90 she charges for a T-shirt from her eponymous label, which was launched in 2008.
Victoria revealed in an interview with WWD that she had decided to work with Mango to ‘speak to a wider audience in a way that feels relevant to my brand and retains my aesthetic and DNA’.
In an interview with Vogue last week she insisted she hasn’t compromised on quality, promising that ‘when you invest in one of these pieces, you won’t just wear it for one season, they’ll be pieces you’ll keep in your wardrobe and wear time and time again.’
Calling the collection ‘timeless’, Victoria saod: ‘I think people will be very surprised by how strong the fashion message is in every single garment.’
Fans were quick to share their excitement about the collection with many claiming on Victoria’s Instagram post to have already bought some items.
‘I love the entire collection, just placed my order,’ one person commented.
Another said: ‘It’s absolutely stunning, dresses are so feminine and elegant️, just got one!’
