Victoria Beckham is celebrating a milestone birthday.

The pop star turned mogul turned 50 on Wednesday, April 17 and has been enjoying time with family and friends all week. Part of the festivities has included hanging out on a yacht and soaking up the sun.

On Wednesday, Victoria’s friend Jamie Salter shared an Instagram photo of the birthday girl surrounded by friends, including Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. The group — which also contained the designer’s husband David Beckham — posed on the deck of the boat with blue skies and serene water in the background.

“Grateful for this crew,” Salter, who is the founder, chairman and CEO of Authentic Brands Group, captioned the post. “Let’s have some fun in the sun.”

It seems like the gathering was a pre-birthday celebration for Victoria, as Crawford, 58, shared a snap of herself and Gerber, 61, aboard the yacht on Sunday, April 14.

“Sunday Funday with this guy,” she wrote in the post’s caption.

In the starry photo, Beckham and Crawford are seeing wearing matching denim cut-off shorts, putting their sun-kissed glows on full display.

Ahead of her birthday, Victoria reflected on her career evolution in a heartfelt Instagram message shared on Tuesday, April 16.

“As I get ready to step into 50 (in heels, of course!), I feel so incredibly blessed to have reached this milestone,” she began in the caption. “Blessed, but also accomplished and deeply content. Not just of where I am as a woman, but of how far my fashion and beauty brands have come. My ambition was always to empower women and make them feel like the best version of themselves. To me, that meant trusting my instinct and never compromising on my creative vision.”

She also shared that her career pivot from Spice Girls member to beauty and fashion entrepreneur comes from her desire to “dream big.”

“I believe that you can be many things,” she continued. “A pop star, a mother, a wife, a designer… My passion has always been to dream big, then dream even bigger! Believe in yourself first — everyone else will follow.”

The mogul also shouted out David, 48, thanking the former soccer star for his support throughout their 25 years of marriage, as well as their four children.
