The soccer legend, 49, posted photos of wife Victoria Beckham, 50, on his Instagram Stories during their summer holiday — and joked about her sophisticated flair as they jet through Italy.

In a snap he posted on Saturday, Aug. 3, David photographed Victoria reading a book while wearing a black sundress and dramatic sunhat.

“Annoyingly elegant,” he wrote over the photo.
