If you still think that good taste is given at birth, and if it wasn’t given out, then that’s it, then you urgently need to get acquainted with the story of a woman who dressed so badly that designers asked not to mention their name if she wore their clothes.
Victoria Beckham went through fire, water and copper pipes on the way to creating her own unique style, which, without exaggeration, almost half of the women around the world are crazy about. She received the status of a style icon and created her own clothing brand, a dress from which is the dream of every successful woman!
The next ICONS series is waiting for you below :)
To be honest, Victoria's style is close to me, so the photo session at the end of the article turned out, in my opinion, one of the best in the history of the project! Let's go to the next level :-)
Your support, girls, is very important and pleasant for me and my team! :-) You inspire us no less than our heroines :)!
History of Victoria Beckham's style
Today she is a designer, writer, wife of the most charming football player on the planet, mother of four children and, in combination, a style icon for millions of women! In the past - the lead singer of the Spice Girls and one of the most terribly dressed women.
Say: "Paradox!". But no! Victoria Beckham became what she became thanks to the titanic work on herself. Alas, neither wealth nor connections are a 100% guarantee of good taste. The case of Victoria is a clear confirmation of this. Her path to style was thorny, but interesting.
Victoria Caroline Adams was born in the UK in 1974. This is not followed by a story about a difficult childhood and a difficult fate. The future Mrs. Beckham was born into a fairly wealthy family, studied at a good school, where she was driven daily in a Rolls-Royce.
From a young age, Victoria was interested in art. She studied acting, singing and ballet. And at home she loved to arrange whole show performances with dancing and dressing up.
For the first time, Victoria Adams attracted the attention of the paparazzi as part of the Spice Girls. Between 1994 and 1996, the group grew exponentially in popularity. Producers and PR people did a great job, turning the group into a real idol of the youth. Each soloist had her own role, thought out to the smallest detail. Thus, every teenage girl could see herself in one of these five. Adams was given the role of a sexy fashionista - Posh Spice (chic peppercorn).
Tight dresses, heels, an arrogant look. Even at the airport during tours, Posh could show up in stilettos and a latex dress.
A lot of attention was riveted to the Spice Girls. So it is not surprising that Victoria is interested in a young footballer from Manchester United - David Beckham.
In 1998, the group broke up, but Victoria no longer worried about her future and completely immersed herself in her personal life.
in 1999 she gave birth to her first son Brooklyn and married David Beckham.
Mrs. Beckham came up with the dress for her own wedding on her own, giving her sketch to the best master in this business - Vera Wang. It was a classic champagne princess dress with a six-meter train. Victoria has always loved to shock.
But the attention riveted to the dress, it seemed to her not enough. And immediately after the wedding, the newly-married couple changed into purple suits from Antonio Berardi.
In those days, Victoria was very fond of family looks and often appeared with David at parties in paired outfits. The most memorable were leather suits from Gucci. Almost 20 years later, in an interview with Vogue, Victoria said that this was perhaps her worst outfit.
In the early 2000s, Beckham took up her solo career closely. For the stage, she often chose brutal images that were not characteristic of her. Skin, spikes and the image of a rock princess did not at all harmonize with a fragile woman with a thin voice. Unfortunately (or fortunately), Victoria just wasted millions of pounds on record companies. In 2004, she completed all things with music, surrendering to her true passion - fashion.
Since the mid-2000s, Victoria has been a guest at every fashion show and takes her first steps in design, participating in the development of clothing and accessories in collaboration with other brands. So, with a light hand in tandem with Rock & Republic, her first line of jeans comes out, and later her own collection of sunglasses.
Alas, for the style of Victoria Beckham, this time cannot be called golden at all. At social events and red carpets, she behaves like a "typical footballer's wife." The self-proclaimed fashionista wears incredible tight-fitting outfits, trying to reveal all parts of her body at once.
Insiders will long remember the times when Beckham's representatives were called by brand advertisers and begged Victoria not to wear their clothes, even if she bought them herself. Nobody wanted their brand to be associated with an anorexic tanned woman with silicone upturned breasts.
In 2006, at the Milan Fashion Week, Victoria takes part in the show at Cavalli, after which she became the brand's ambassador. For quite some time, the fashion house provided her with outfits for going out. In the same year, Victoria first tried herself as an editor on the set of a magazine, stylizing a photo shoot with Katie Holmes.
The period from 2006 to 2007 became very productive for Beckham. She launched her own denim brand dVb Style, presented her own perfume line and designed a collection of bags and accessories for the Japanese brand Samantha Thavasa.
In the summer of 2007, thanks to her achievements in the field of fashion, Victoria Beckham received the prestigious Woman of the Year award ... And in the same year, she added to the list of the most anti-stylish people.
But Victoria does not give up on the way to her dream to connect life with fashion.
In 2007, the Spice Girls reunite for a world tour. Beckham uses this opportunity to the fullest, forcing the fans of the group to look at themselves with different eyes. At each concert, she arranges real fashion shows, changing clothes for each number and becomes the most popular member of the group.
Positive dynamics in the style of Posh begins in 2007, when she replaces tight mini-dresses with laconic sheath dresses. But do not forget that this woman loves to be the center of attention. And even if she dresses in a strict dress, it does not have to be black. Her image in a pink case with the same Birkin, in which she appeared at one of the press conferences, hits fashionistas in the heart.
A year later, Beckham becomes the face of the Marc Jacobs collection. Victoria has been friends with Mark for a long time and does not deny that he repeatedly inspired her during her first steps in fashion. After becoming a designer, she often turned to him for advice.
For the first time as a self-sufficient designer, they started talking about Victoria after NYFW in 2008. There she presented her collection of midi-length sheath dresses. Critics received the efforts very positively, and some were in a real delight from her almost manic attention to detail and elegance.
Finally, the title of style icon, which Victoria called herself on her own, began to justify herself. Three times a year she was invited to become the face of the cover of Vogue, and this means something. Especially, knowing the inexorable temper of Anna Wintour.
In 2011, Victoria received the prestigious British Fashion Awards, and in 2014 she opened her first Victoria Beckham store.
To date, Victoria Beckham's brand has only grown in revenue and is now valued at £100 million, according to general estimates. In addition to the main luxury line, the brand also produces clothes for young girls. This is the second line - Victoria by Victoria Beckham. The only thing that unites all the creations of Victoria, no matter what label they are released under, is the traditional British style. Straight lines, conciseness, minimum details and unfailing elegance.
Now Victoria herself is the best face of her own brand. Her images are verified to the smallest detail. Whatever she wears, whether it's jeans for a walk with her daughter, or a dress for a fashion show, she always looks chic.
In my opinion, Victoria Beckham is another clear example of the fact that, if you set a goal, you can create yourself anew. And as this story shows, it's not just about the money!

Victoria Caroline Adams was born on April 17, 1974 at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex, and grew up in the vicinity of the village of Goffs Oak, Broxbone, Hertfordshire, to Jacqueline and Anthony Adams. Anthony was an electronics engineer, and the income from the family business supported Victoria, as well as her brother Christian and sister Louise.
Victoria graduated from St. Mary's High School in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. As a child, the wealth of the family embarrassed young Victoria, and she asked her father not to drop her near the school from the family Rolls Royce. Victoria said that as a child she was the object of intimidation and felt like an outsider.
Children were literally picking things up from puddles and throwing them at me. And I just stood there. Nobody communicated with me. I didn't have friends.
Interview for the Daily Mail in 2007.
As a child, after watching the musical Fame, Victoria decided that she would become famous. This event coincided with the time when her parents sent her to Jason Theater School. At the age of 17, Victoria entered Laine Theater Arts College in Epsom, Surrey, where she trained in dance. At that time, she also participated in the band Persuasion.
Career
spice girls
In March 1993, Victoria noticed an ad in the newspaper The Stage for the recruitment of girls in a girl group. They were required to be "experienced, extroverted, ambitious, able to sing and dance". In 1994, Victoria joined the Spice Girls, an all-female pop group. In recordings made before her marriage, she appears as Victoria Adams among the members of the group. Originally called Touch, the band also included Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell. In 1996, the group's first single "Wannabe" became number one in the UK and the US, as well as in 29 other countries. It was followed by nine more number one singles from Spice, Spiceworld and Forever. The media gave each of the members a nickname, Victoria became Posh Spice, as she looked quite sophisticated. Her style of the time was characterized by little black dresses and high heels. The group was one of the most popular in the 1990s, selling over 55 million copies of their albums worldwide. After the release of the third album Forever (in the UK number two), which was not as successful as the previous two, the Spice Girls stopped recording, which prompted Victoria to start a solo career.
Director Bob Smeaton directed the tour's official film, Spice Girls: Giving You Everything, which was originally shown on Fox8 in Australia. On 31 December 2007 it was broadcast on BBC One in the UK. The group also starred in Tesco commercials, for which they received £1 million each.
Solo career
On August 14, 2000, Beckham released her first solo single, "Out of Your Mind", in collaboration with Dane Bowers and the Truesteppers. The single's release week coincided with the release of Spiller's "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, leading to a chat battle titled "Posh vs. Posher". As a result, Victoria's composition lost out to the work of Sophie Ellis-Bextor and debuted at number two on the UK Singles Chart. Prior to the single's release on 8 July 2000, Beckham made her debut at a concert in London's Hyde Park to raise funds for the Prince's Trust charity. She sang "Out of Your Mind" in front of an audience of 100,000. Beckham later signed a record deal with Virgin Records. Her next single "Not Such An Innocent Girl" was released on September 17, 2001. And again there was competition in the face of Kylie Minogue with the composition "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". Despite a major advertising campaign, Victoria lost and her single started at number 6 in the UK chart. Victoria's self-titled debut album was released on October 1, 2001, reaching #10 in the charts. The album, which was expected to earn £5 million, ended up selling 50,000 copies.
The second and final single from this album was "A Mind of Its Own", released on February 11, 2002. The single reached number 6 in the UK charts and sold 56,500 copies. It was rumored that the record label did not allow her to rise to the top three. These rumors were later refuted.
tattoos

Literally in all the photos, she looks like a kind of “beech” with pouted lips and an evil expression in her eyes, as if the whole world is ready to take up arms against her. Is it really true that the personal life of Victoria Beckham, a mother of many children, a style icon and the wife of one of the most famous football players, is so hard? It turns out that she herself came up with this image. Victoria does not believe that she is obliged to brag about her happiness at every corner - after all, they can jinx it!
Biography of Victoria Beckham
Hated by peers
Probably, this image haunts her from an early age: as a child, she felt herself like that - a kind of outcast, hated by her peers. She had no girlfriends, everyone envied the well-being of the Adams. A capable electronics engineer, Anthony could well feed his family - his wife Jacqueline, Christian's children, Louise and Victoria, who was born on April 17, 1974.
They had a decent mansion in Hertfordshire and a Rolls-Royce. Young Victoria was very embarrassed when her dad drove her to class in a luxury car and asked her to stop not at the very school gates, but further away. She had enough of bullying and ridicule.
In show business!
Adams also studied at the same time at the theater school, and entered college, wanting to devote herself to choreography.
She was almost 19 years old when she saw a casting ad for a girl group. We needed sociable girls who could dance and sing well. The tests were successful, and Victoria became one of the Spice Girls. The pop group quickly gained momentum, and the single “Wannabe”, released in 1996, took first place in the British hit parade, then was in the lead in the USA and two dozen other countries.
Chic Spice
Each of the participants had their own style, their own nickname. Victoria, often wearing a little black dress and high heels, became known as "Posh Spice" ("Chic Spice"). Three discs of the group sold 50 million copies, but the third was not very successful and the group broke up. However, in 2007, the girls recorded another disc with the best hits.
The biography of Victoria Beckham (then she was already married and changed her last name) continued with her solo career. She did not manage to reach any heights, the vocalist released only a few singles and a disc. Victoria's album "Not Such An Innocent Girl" did not sell very well: about 50 thousand copies were sold. And Beckham decided to end her singing career.
Designer and entrepreneur
Much better things went in the design business. She, a recognized style icon, was trusted by people. Therefore, collections of clothes from jeans, dresses, sunglasses, perfumes, handbags, jewelry and cosmetics under the Victoria Beckham brand went with a bang. Together with her husband David Beckham, the businesswoman founded the Beckham Brand Ltd corporation, which produces knitwear and denim clothing, glasses, and perfume.
Perfume alone (co-developed with David and collectively known as "dVb") sold $100 million a year.
Preach the classics
So now the biography of Victoria Beckham is connected with the fashion industry. She admits that she is close to the style of the 1950s, Victoria is delighted with the chic images of Audrey Hepburn and the elegance of Jacqueline Kennedy. “I preach the British style – very conservative. I love classic cut blouses and dresses, pencil skirts and skinny jeans,” she says.
Stylish Victoria has repeatedly received "Woman of the Year" awards and even a solid "Entrepreneur of the Year" award, posed for the cover of "Vogue". She has long given up eating meat and does not welcome clothes made of fur, not using it in her collections either.
Victoria Beckham's personal life
casual acquaintance
At 21, Victoria Beckham had her first notable romance in her personal life - with actor, youth film star Corey Haim. This relationship ended pretty quickly. Maybe it's for the best: Corey became addicted to drugs, was repeatedly treated and did not even live to be forty, dying from an overdose.
In 1997, at one of the charity matches, Victoria met the famous player of the legendary Manchester United club, handsome David Beckham. At first, both were rather constrained - she did not even ask for an autograph from the idol of millions, which amazed the football player. But then the acquaintance grew into a stormy romance.
Grand wedding

Even then, the girl “forgot how” to smile for a photo, such an “evil” look seemed to her more stylish. Their wedding was very beautiful - it took place in early July 1999 in one of the ancient castles of Ireland, from the newlyweds in their dazzling white eyes it hurt!
Photographers of OK! recorded every minute of a grand event (the enterprising Beckhams earned a lot on this).
Even then, these two had a son - Brooklyn turned 4 months old on the day of the wedding (July 4). Now he is a grown man.
mother of many children
Following Brooklyn, Romeo was born, three years later - Cruz. It seemed that the spouses were assembling their own football team!
But, apparently, Victoria really wanted a daughter, and the fourth attempt was a success. In June 2011, the charming Harper Seven made her parents happy with her birth.
For a long time, the Beckham clan spent in Los Angeles, but in 2013 they moved to their homeland, to London.
Victoria Caroline Beckham, known by her maiden name as Victoria Adams, is a British singer, dancer, actress, fashion designer and writer. She was one of the vocalists of the legendary girl pop group "", and then made a successful solo career.

The future star became one of three children of successful electronics engineer Anthony Adams and his wife Jacqueline. Victoria has a brother, Christian, and a sister, Louise.
The father had his own business, which brought in huge incomes, and the family did not need anything. But the flip side of wealth was the complete absence of Victoria's friends among her peers. As a child, she was the object of ridicule and ridicule, she felt like an outsider, and even every morning she asked her dad to drop her daughter out of the expensive Rolls-Royce, a little before reaching the school gate, so that her classmates would not have an additional reason for pressure.
As a teenager, Victoria Beckham watched the musical "Glory" in the theater and she herself wanted to become famous and popular. She persuaded her parents to send the girl to high school not at an ordinary general educational institution, but at the Jason Theater School, where she learned the first basics of stagecraft and studied pop vocals. Then, in college, the girl studied dance and choreography and at the same time performed in the semi-amateur group Persuasion.
In the spring of 1994, glory breaks into the biography of Victoria Beckham. She successfully passes the casting and joins the female pop group "Spice Girls", with which she will thunder all over the world.
Career and creativity
In the Spice Girls group, the singer appears under the name Victoria Adams, because then she was not yet married. By the way, the band was originally called “Touch”, but the new name was more in line with the scale of future popularity. By the way, each member of the group received a personal nickname from the fans. Fans called Victoria "Posh Spice", that is, "Chic Spice", as the girl's image is bright short dresses and catchy, attractive makeup.

The composition took second place in the British chart, but the subsequent hits "Not Such An Innocent Girl" and "A Mind of Its Own" fell into the top ten.
The only officially released album of the singer "Victoria Beckham" turned out to be a commercially unprofitable enterprise. The new disc "Open Your Eyes" was called to correct the situation, but due to pregnancy, Victoria Adams-Beckham cancels the release of the collection, as well as the promotional single "My Love Is For Real" and finally stops her musical career.
Today, the star is better known as a style icon. She has made an excellent career in the fashion industry: she launches her own Victoria Beckham brand - bags, dresses, sunglasses, jewelry and even a line of fragrance "Intimately Beckham". Especially for the Japanese market, the V Sculpt cosmetics line was developed, and in cooperation with the Land Rover car company, Victoria created her own car model, the Evoque Victoria Beckham Special Edition.

Personal life
Singer and designer Victoria Beckham linked her personal life once and for all with British football player David Beckham, the star of Manchester United, Real Madrid and Los Angeles Galaxy clubs.
