He rarely puts a step wrong in the style stakes.<\/p>\n

But despite looking groomed to perfection and dapper in his Ralph Lauren morning suit, David Beckham had a very small slip-up today at the Royal Wedding.<\/p>\n

The footballer arrived at Westminster Abbey this morning proudly wearing his OBE medal displayed – but unfortunately, David wore it on his right lapel.<\/p>\n

\n

Switcheroo: David Beckham arrived at the wedding with his OBE medal on the right side of his suit lapel, but later changed it to the left<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Very few would have even noticed, but those in the know were quick to comment on the 35-year-old’s misstep.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Traditionally, the OBE medal is worn on the left side, and commentators during the coverage noted the faux pas during their telecasts.<\/p>\n

Either he noticed others inside the Abbey wearing their own medals on the left, or someone had a quiet word to him – but before the ceremony had even begun, David had switched it over to the other side.<\/p>\n

\"Much<\/p>\n

Much better sir: David is seen chatting to Beefeaters in the Abbey after making the swap<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite this, the Beckhams were in high spirits and were spotted chatting animatedly to fellow guests Guy Ritchie and Sir Trevor Brooking.<\/p>\n

David’s spokesperson was quick to play down the small slip-up, but told Mail Online that the couple had a wonderful time at the wedding.<\/p>\n

In a statement released afterwards, they said: ‘Today’s ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt. Catherine looked wonderfully elegant and we were honoured to be part of such a special, historical day for our country.<\/p>\n

‘We wish Catherine and William much love and happiness for the future.’<\/p>\n

\"Proud:<\/p>\n

Proud: David looked excited as he arrived at Westminster Abbey with wife Victoria proudly wearing his OBE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

David’s wife Victoria’s outfit was among the most eagerly-anticipated among style watchers, after the bride of course.<\/p>\n

As Victoria’s spokesperson confirmed to MailOnline, the pregnant fashion guru wore a stunning midnight blue boat neck tunic dress from her latest AW11 collection, which she unveiled at New York Fashion Week in February.<\/p>\n

Victoria had her hair tied back in a long ponytail and accessorised the outfit with a Phillip Treacy hat and a pair of specially customised Christian Louboutin heels.<\/p>\n
