While the rest of Hollywood was flocking to the west coast for the Los Angeles leg of Charli XCX's Sweat Tour, Victoria Beckham was bringing the singer's signature brat green hue to the streets of New York City.

On Oct. 16, Beckham attended a conference hosted by Vogue and dressed appropriately. Looking every bit the fashion icon herself, the former Spice Girl tapped into the age-old art of color-blocking—one of the illusive few styling tricks that never goes out of style.

She was doused in zesty, chartreuse green, wearing a V-neck trumpet dress in the autumnal version of summer's buzziest hue. Though Beckham is oft associated stylistically with "posh" all-black outfits and $82,500 Birkin bags, she branched out of her usual aesthetic in support of the vibrant shade.

Her dress may have been brat, but Beckham's footwear tapped into a different color trend all together. She chose a pair of pointed-toe pumps in crimson patent leather. The style came with a matching red ankle strap, which she accentuated with an additional chain around each ankle. Beyond her oversized sunglasses (a signature of Beckham), the dainty anklets were the only accessories to be seen.

Alongside brat green and butter yellow, shades of red are set to take over the fall fashion scene. Burgundy and classic red are both having a moment, often styled together in the same look. Zoë Kravitz, Jenna Ortega and Demi Moore are just a few celebs who have sported lipstick-inspired shades in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, everyone from Katie Holmes to tennis star Naomi Osaka have dressed in vibrant green. Though Victoria Beckham was an unlikely candidate for the list, she wore the vivacious hue like an absolute pro.
