David and Victoria Beckham brought their signature glamour to Buckingham Palace this week, attending a state banquet in honor of the Amir of Qatar—and their low-key PDA moment totally stole the show.

Victoria Beckham’s dress, and the trend in general, has a historical origin: In Ancient Egypt, the shenti was the masculine garment we associate most with the pharaohs. The most popular current adaptation would be something like a kilt, a kind of men’s skirt that incorporates this same knotted detail in the front.

Victoria and David Beckham showed up at a lavish dinner for the emir of Qatar, and the banquet saw appearances from Prince William and Princess Kate.

Victoria Beckham, along with the rest of the Spice Girls, first met then-Prince Charles way back in 1997. Her outfit of choice? A teensy black mini dress, naturally. Well, all these years later, it seems not much has changed when it concerns Victoria’s fashion choices.

Buckingham Palace hosted last Tuesday night the State banquet in honor of the Emir of Qatar and his wife, who are visiting the United Kingdom. It was a very significant evening, given that the palace will close its doors until 2027 to update the wiring and pipes.

Her appearance at the State Banquet comes just weeks after being named as Entrepreneur of the Year, presented to her by her daughter Harper, at Harper's Bazaar's Women of the Year
