Early birthday celebrations are underway for David Beckham ahead of his 50th and he looked dapper as ever for the formal party.

Silk dresses and black tuxedos were the dress code as the Beckhams — minus eldest son Brooklyn — partied in Florida.

The football legend turns 50 on May 2, with plenty of parties likely to be in store as the family loves a big celebration.

David and Victoria, 50, showed their always united front as they posed together on a staircase, with the former Spice Girl looking posh as ever in a minimalist silver silk gown.

In another picture, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, could be seen posing with their girlfriends while Harper, 13, — coordinating with her mum in a dark sleek dress — smiled near her parents.

‘So I thought I’d start celebrating slightly early , such a special night in Miami 🩷 ,’ the former England captain wrote on Instagram.

He continued: ‘So lucky to have amazing friends and family to start the 50th celebrations with 🩷 Love you @victoriabeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven 🩷.’

It wasn’t just family at the event as footballing icons joined David in Florida, where the team he co-owns, Inter Miami, is based.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and American football player Tom Brady were all seen posing in their smartest suits.

It wasn’t just footballers who got the star-studded invite, though, as none other than Shaquille O’Neal, better known as Shaq, was in attendance.

Sharing a snap of him and Brady on Instagram, Becks joked he was annoyed to be ‘so small’ compared to the sporting icons.

David is 5ft 11, while Brady is 6ft 4 and famously tall Shaq is a whopping 7ft1.

Long-time friend and sports agent David Gardener was there with Becks posting on his story that they had been friends for 35 years now.

The pair met at Manchester United Youth club and remained close over the years.

Everyone from comedian Jack Whitehall to makeup icon Anastasia Soare appeared to have secured an invitation to the event.

However, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were nowhere to be seen in the party pictures, which showed David laughing and dancing with his friends.

The couple were just on a getaway in Santa Barbara, LA, with the chef-turned-designer posting snaps with his wife.

The birthday bash comes days after David shared a loved-up post of Victoria for Mother’s Day with previously unseen snaps of her and the kids.

This included a black and white shot of Harper as a baby in 2011 resting on Victoria’s chest as she lay on a sofa surrounded by the couple’s sons.

He also used individual shots of his pop legend wife with each of their kids, as well as pictures of himself as a youngster with his mum Sandra, and with Victoria’s mother Jackie too.

‘I’m so lucky to have so many incredible women around me who are the most amazing Mum’s [sic] ❤️ I learn from you every single day ❤️,’ wrote David in the caption.
