WMN Role Models: Victoria Beckham

The newspaper ad that changes your life.

By

Those born in the '90s cannot forget the Spice Girls, the British pop band that made millions of teenagers dream. Five different girls one from the other, but with one thing in common: the quick access to the world of celebrities. Geri, Emma, Mel C and Mel B, but Victoria of all. Singer, dancer, wife of an ex-footballer, mother, and finally awarded as the best designer at the British Fashion Awards in 2011.

But who is really the "Posh Spice?

Victoria Caroline Adams, now known as Victoria Beckham, was born in England on 17th April, 1974, in the year of the college she studied dance and she sang in different groups. During her teenage years she met her future colleague Emma Burton, with whom she began her television career that will take her to the top of world of entertainment.

And there it was, the fatal ad in the newspaper: it was enough for both of  them to send a reply and they found themselves part of the Spice Girls group in the 1994. Victoria was the “Posh Spice”, the trendiest, but also the most snobby of the five singers, because, we know, instead of the acetate suit or baby girl ponytails, she preferred the black dress, classic but very chic.

The nickname remains even when the tabloid shoot her next to the handsome Manchester United footballer, David Beckham, who later became her husband. Today Posh is still the collection of her beauty line, Posh Lipstick, with nine different colors.

But what about moving on to her love life? We have already mentioned David: who would have believed that the couple would last so long? Between ups and downs, and rumors of a crisis about a supposed betrayal by him, the Becks, celebrated  21 years of marriage this year. Precisely, 7.670 days after that ceremony at Luttrellstown Castle in which they wanted to show, through the same color of the dresses, that they were one.

By now they are one of the few stables couple in the world of celebrities and seem to be more famous than Queen Elisabeth.

On Instagram they often declare their love, we see them together embraced, while jogging, smiling on the couch like a normal family. She certainly has a sense of humor: a few days ago, a sweet squabble between the two took place on the socials, about the boots of our dear David, compared to Gaston, the rascal of "Beauty and the Beast”.

What can be their secret? Never forget where you started from, and she was the one who reveals it, some romantic evening together, some mockery, obviously benevolent, and the constant support for each other in every choice. It’s not a coincidence that her husband has never missed any of the presentation of Victoria’s brand. Always on front row with their children.

What more can we say about her? If you don’t admire her, you envy her; because, with a wonderful life, a handsome husband, four creatures, one more adorable than other, she has managed to be a myth for the teenager of yesterday and an example for the women of today.

Singing in a pop band was a dream, but her true love was fashion, not surprisingly the attention to looks and the need to always look glamorous, with the perfectly hairstyle, defined makeup and matching accessories, allowed Victoria to make her passion a job. Her brand today is among the most influential in British fashion.

Palazzo pants,white t-shirts, simple garments for a brand, but the peculiarity is to require to the wearer that personality that a Posh girl certainly does not lack. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar she reveals what we think can be her secret formula:If you dream big, you can achieve great things.

Dear Victoria, you have achieved great things starting from a simple advertisement in the newspaper and we can't wait to find out what the future holds for you. We will certainly start looking at the ads: you never know...
