Introduction to Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, has been a household name for decades. With a career spanning from the Spice Girls to her current role as a fashion entrepreneur, she has always been in the public eye. In her new Netflix documentary, she opens up about her life, career, and family.
Early Life and Career
Before the Spice Girls, Victoria "wasn’t cool" and was even bullied at school. However, everything changed when she joined the girl group in 1994. The Spice Girls came together after Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria responded to an ad for contestants. After releasing their debut single "Wannabe" in 1996, Spice Mania swept the planet, and Victoria became a global pop culture phenomenon.
Transition to Fashion
After the Spice Girls split in 2001, Victoria struggled to find her place in the world. She continued making music, but the criticism she received "really hurt." Then came the infamous WAG period, where she and other wives and girlfriends of soccer players would often be photographed together. Victoria admits that there was an "attention-seeking element" to this time in her life, but she has since moved on to pursue a career in fashion.
Challenges in the Fashion Industry
Victoria’s fashion business has faced significant financial difficulties, with the company being "tens of millions in the red" at one point. She has been open about the struggles she faced, including people not taking her seriously and refusing to see her as "cool." However, with the help of her husband, David Beckham, she was able to turn things around and has since become a successful fashion designer.
Family Life
The documentary also gives a glimpse into Victoria’s family life, including her relationship with her husband and children. The couple’s eldest son, Brooklyn, is mentioned several times, and there are rumors of a feud between him and the rest of the family. However, Victoria does not address these rumors directly in the documentary.
Personal Struggles
Victoria has been open about her personal struggles, including her struggles with morning sickness while pregnant with Brooklyn and performing with the Spice Girls. She also talks about her eating disorder, which she never spoke about publicly or with her parents. She says it made her "very good at lying."
The Reason Behind Her Serious Expression
Victoria’s pout has become her defining look, but she reveals that there’s a deeper reason why she never smiles in front of cameras. She says that as soon as she sees a camera, her "armor goes up," and she becomes a different person. She wishes she had the confidence to smile in front of the camera but says that she smiles "inside."
Relationship with David Beckham
The documentary shows the loving relationship between Victoria and David Beckham. They have fond memories of their whirlwind romance in the 1990s, which led to them marrying and having a child within two years. David reflects that his parents and manager would have preferred him to marry a local girl, but he chose Victoria instead.
No More Babies
In the final episode of the documentary, Victoria and David reflect on their achievements and what lies ahead. When David asks Victoria if she wants to have another baby, she laughs and says, "My God, no." The couple seems content with their current family and is looking forward to the future.
Conclusion
Victoria Beckham’s documentary series is now available on Netflix, giving fans a glimpse into her life, career, and family. With her honesty and openness, she has proven that she is more than just a celebrity – she is a strong and determined woman who has overcome many challenges to achieve her goals.
