Victoria Beckham just wore 'the perfect dress for the holiday season,' with its asymmetric midi hemline and stunning 'regal fig' shade creating a striking and sultry evening look - and we love her 'peppermint' handbag which brings a chic pop of unexpected colour into the outfit.

Burgundy is the colour of the winter season, with the stunning deep red shade oozing elegance, luxury and sophistication whether you wear it on your nails, your lips, or fill your winter capsule wardrobe with it - but Victoria Beckham has introduced a rival colour that's captured our attention.

She calls it 'regal fig.' And, we'll be honest, the jewel-tone is very similar to burgundy though skews more purple than red, with Victoria describing it as 'plum' as well as a 'jewel-tone' and 'fig' shade.

Whatever we call the colour, there's no question that it's absolutely stunning and we've fallen in love with Victoria's Asymmetric Draped Midi Dress In Fig which is from her own namesake label, Victoria Beckham.

"I'm getting ready to go out with David and my parents for dinner," Victoria said in her latest Instagram video as she showed off her stunning midi dress in the mirror - a dress that she says is 'the perfect dress for the holiday season.'

"I just got this fig dress which I love, it's such a beautiful drape," she added. "I love that it's asymmetric with a really interesting neckline." And we love the silhouette too. With a cowl neckline that hangs in a stunning drape across the chest, the drama is only heightened by the unique, asymmetric straps that make what's usually a practical element of a dress into something statement-making in its own right.

The bodice is another drama-creating aspect, with a fitted waist and chic stitched seam detailing at the tummy and hips leaving the bodice above to puff out slightly and create a unique point of interest at the side of the ribcage. It's a shape that feels completely new and oh-so chic, but the deep, rich jewel-toned fig shade of the fabric keeps it feeling classic and timeless at the same time - we can see why Victoria is so excited about the style.

With a gathered rouched detail at the side of the waist and a stunning draped asymmetrical hemline creating a sultry and sleek silhouette, Victoria left the dress to do all the talking and paired it will some simple point-toe court heels in a matching fig shade for a streamline touch.

But she wasn't afraid to add a little pop of colour into her otherwise monochrome style with a striking accessory. "I love [the dress] with the Dorian, which is my favourite bag" she said, showing off her Victoria Beckham Dorian Bag in the shade Jade Grained Leather. The pastel blue-green shade is a stunning statement colour and we'd never thought of pairing a shade like it with a burgundy or fig tone like Victoria did here. But, as she said, "I love the fig with the peppermint."

Her fans adored the outfit, with one writing, "Gorgeous.. simplicity at its best." While another added, "Looks stunning! Fig with peppermint, a perfect combination" - we're definitely going to be adding this look to our Christmas party outfit inspiration board.
