The Netflix documentary “The Beckham Chronicles” has been a hot topic recently, with Victoria Beckham, the wife of David Beckham, speaking for the first time about her infidelity. She has quickly become the “queen of conversation”! From being a representative of an idol group, Beckham’s sister-in-law, a fashion designer, to the founder of a beauty brand, Victoria has made a name for herself through her own efforts and has become a role model for everyone. She is definitely part of the winning team in life. How did this once highly popular idol successfully transition into the world of fashion and beauty, becoming a fashion icon of today?
When it comes to Victoria Beckham, the first keywords that come to mind for everyone must be “David Beckham’s wife” or “Beckham’s sister-in-law”! However, Victoria was actually a member of the popular and sexy idol group Spice Girls. Back then, they became famous worldwide with their hit song “Wannabe” and even led the trend, becoming an icon of 90s popular culture! Unfortunately, in 2001, Spice Girls officially announced their disbandment and each member focused on their individual activities. Victoria then began to concentrate on developing her fashion business.
David Beckham fell in love with Victoria, who was still a member of the Spice Girls in 1997. They first met in the dressing room of a charity football match in Manchester. The woman eventually left her phone number, and they quickly started dating. They got married in 1999 and had their first son, Brooklyn, that same year. They later had two more sons, Romeo and Cruz, as well as a daughter named Harper. This year marks David and Victoria Beckham’s 24th wedding anniversary. Although David may have had an affair at some point, they have overcome difficulties and remain loving and affectionate, making them a model couple that many admire today!
It has to be said that Victoria has never stopped working hard to build her own fashion and beauty empire. Since the establishment of her eponymous fashion brand Victoria Beckham (VB) in 2008, she has been underestimated and had a debt of nearly 7 million pounds. However, she turned the tide and led the brand to the New York Fashion Week stage in 2011, receiving a standing ovation. To date, the brand has more than 400 stores worldwide and even other clothing brands are seeking collaborations with her. Collaborations like the one with Reebok have sparked enthusiastic responses from fashion enthusiasts!

Victoria has proven her design ability over the course of 10 years, and her achievements are truly remarkable! In addition to receiving the British Fashion Award in both 2011 and 2014, she has been widely recognized for her outstanding contributions to the fashion industry and charity work. In 2017, she was honored with the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by the British royal family, and it was personally presented to her by Prince William himself!
After the brand gradually gained momentum, Victoria began collaborating with other brands from time to time, such as the joint makeup collection with Estée Lauder, which makes people curious whether Victoria’s involvement in the beauty industry is purely out of passion for makeup or a deliberate move to develop a beauty business. Subsequently, in 2019, Victoria officially ventured into the beauty industry from the fashion world and established her own beauty brand, Victoria Beckham Beauty!
The brand focuses on Clean Beauty skincare and makeup products, all of which are not tested on animals and do not contain harmful chemicals, aiming to take care of women from the inside out! In recent years, they have collaborated with the prestigious anti-aging skincare brand Augustinus Bader, which has been dedicated to this field for over 30 years, successfully building the brand’s reputation!
Victoria, who excels in love, family, and career, has high expectations for herself and has always insisted on being true to herself and maintaining her own aesthetic. She once said, “When I decide to do something, I give it 110% effort, otherwise it’s meaningless, especially when I have to sacrifice time with my family for this job.” Success comes from self-discipline, and only by adhering to inner values and principles can one possess positive energy and not lose oneself. This kind of persistence and perseverance is truly admirable!
