Childhood

Victoria Beckham (Victoria Caroline Adams before marriage) was born into a middle-class family - her father was an electrical engineer who earned enough to comfortably support his wife and three children.
Despite having everything she needed, Vicky's childhood was far from peaceful - she was constantly bullied at school. Victoria only truly came alive at home, where she'd constantly put on performances, change costumes, experiment with hairstyles, sing, and take photographs.

After finishing ballet classes at school, Victoria Adams went on to study dance and modeling at the Laines Arts Theatre College. The coursework came easily to her, but teachers didn't see any special talent in the young woman. After college, Vicky went to countless auditions and castings, walked in fashion shows, and even did advertising shoots, but she dreamed of something bigger.

Music Career

In 1994, Victoria stumbled across an audition notice in "The Stage" newspaper for a female pop group. She sailed through the auditions and joined a group initially called "Touch," which was later renamed "Spice Girls." The group also included Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, and Geri Halliwell.

For two years, the girls prepared to take on the world - working on their vocals, dancing, and selecting their repertoire. The producers imposed strict conditions on the future stars, making them work incredibly hard without any performance opportunities - which eventually led the group to break their contract and strike out on their own.

In 1996, the girls found new producers and released their breakthrough single "Wannabe," followed by their debut album "Spice." The group became an instant sensation - the album sold 20 million copies worldwide, sparking "Spice-mania" that swept the globe until 1998.

Victoria earned the nickname "Posh Spice" from fans and the press - a reference to her luxurious style. This reflected her impeccable taste in fashion, her distinctive style, and her preference for wearing only designer brands.

But the "Spice Girls" success was just the beginning of Victoria Adams' career journey. When the group disbanded in 2001, Vicky had already launched her solo career.

Life After the Spice Girls

In 2000, Victoria Beckham released her solo single "Out of Your Mind" in collaboration with Dane Bowers. The following year, she introduced her solo album "Victoria Beckham."

Simultaneously, Victoria began promoting her own brand. Her participation as a stylist and promoter helped her husband David frequently appear on magazine covers, become a trendsetter for men's hairstyles, and feature in advertising campaigns.

Music took a back seat as Victoria started developing her own brand. In the early 21st century, she debuted as a model at Maria Grachvogel's show during London Fashion Week and later became the face of Dolce & Gabbana and Rocawear.

In 2004, Beckham signed a contract with the "Rock&Republic" label, known for jeans, and created a limited collection for them. Her design debut was successful, leading to the development of a new collection under her own brand logo "DVB," short for David Beckham.

Under this label, she also released women's and men's fragrances and body cosmetics.

Two years later, Victoria Beckham wrote a book titled "That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between," discussing how to maximize one's natural attributes. The book became a bestseller and was hailed as a "new fashion bible."

In 2007, as David began playing for an American soccer club, the family moved to Hollywood. In America, Victoria released the reality show "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America," then reunited the Spice Girls to record the single "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)." After farewell performances, she announced this as the final point in her singing career.

During her year in the US, Victoria made famous friends like Tom Cruise, Gwen Stefani, Katie Holmes, and Heidi Klum. She became the face of Marc Jacobs and expanded her product distribution in Los Angeles stores.

In 2008, Victoria showcased her first collection of evening dresses at New York Fashion Week and concluded the year with the release of the "Signature" fragrance. Beckham's new collections were annually seen on the runway, and in 2011, she began producing her own handbags.

Victoria Beckham's Personal Life

In 1999, Victoria met her future husband, footballer David Beckham. A friend took her to a Manchester United match, where she met David after the game, and they've been inseparable ever since. Their firstborn son, Brooklyn Joseph, was born four months before their wedding.

Victoria gave birth to three more children during her marriage to David: sons Romeo James (2002) and Cruz David (2005), and daughter Harper Seven (2011).

Victoria has five tattoos, three of which are in honor of her husband: a Hebrew inscription that reads, "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine; he browses among the lilies" (Song of Solomon 6:3), David's initials, and the date of their seventh wedding anniversary. All these tattoos are matching ones. Victoria also has five eight-pointed stars on her lower back, symbolizing the Beckham couple and their four children, plus the Latin inscription "De Integro" (meaning "from the beginning") on her wrist.

Victoria Beckham Now

During the pandemic, Victoria and David Beckham contracted COVID-19. This occurred in early March 2020, but the couple carefully concealed their illness. The couple also admitted they traveled extensively during this time and met with people, meaning they could have potentially infected friends.
In June 2020, the Spice Girls embarked on a nostalgic tour again, but Victoria decided to decline. As a full member with rights to the group's royalties and fees, Beckham earned a million pounds from concerts she didn't even attend. This is a fifth of the advertising revenue, licensing agreements, and branded product sales of the group.

In September of the same year, Victoria introduced a new collection of her brand. But due to the second wave of coronavirus, she had to host the show from home. Immediately after the event, Beckham posted a photo with her husband and three children, captioning it, "My beloved and only guests this season. I love you very much."
Despite her efforts to keep the business going during COVID, Victoria's company took a major hit - she had to secure a £6.4 million loan. Her company's losses over recent years topped $50 million, bringing it dangerously close to bankruptcy.

In 2023, the Beckhams appeared in the documentary "Beckham," dedicated to the success story of the legendary footballer. A funny incident occurred during the filming, which went viral on social media and became a meme. Victoria told reporters that both her husband and she come from the working class. As she was saying this, David peeked into the room where the interview was taking place and made his wife admit that her father drove a Rolls Royce when she was little.
