David and Victoria Beckham paint it black and white in monochrome outfits for his 33rd birthday

It seems matching monochrome is the new rule for the Beckhams.

For Victoria's birthday bash in California last month they stepped out in co-ordinated outfits - with Victoria in a white dress with black-and-grey pattern while David sported a grey, white and black ensemble.

And now the couple have done it again - this time for David's birthday.

They went out in Santa Monica to celebrate him turning 33. Victoria, 34, in a sleeveless, off-the-shoulder black dress, with a low-cut V-neck, while David sported a white blazer.

It is David's big day today, and if his wife's parties for her own birthdays are anything to go by, he can surely expect more celebrations.
The couple went for a romantic candlelit dinner spending almost two hours at posh LA restaurant The Ivy on the Shore last night.

A source said: "It was just the two of them - the kids weren't there.

"It was a very romantic affair with low lighting and a single candle on the table.

"They were holding hands, smiling and looking into one another's eyes.

"Anyone would think they had just met."

The former England captain turns 33 today but celebrated his birthday a night early.

The soccer star is thought to have brought his celebrations forward because his team, LA Galaxy, have a match against Real Salt Lake on Saturday.

David and Victoria attended a function at their sons' school before heading out to dinner.

A source said: "Everyone was expecting them to throw some lavish party and invite all their celebrity friends.

"But they were clearly just happy with some alone time."
