The most famous football wife, singer, designer and owner of a cosmetic brand Victoria Beckham gathered Hollywood stars for a lavish party for her 50th birthday. A sensation at the party was the performance of part of the cult group “Spice Girls”, which made Posh Spice popular all over the world. Victoria, who has been hailed as one of fashion’s most influential icons on more than one occasion, arrived with a surprising accessory – crutches to support her following a recent leg injury.
Victoria arrived at the party surrounded by the other members of the tight-knit Beckham clan – her husband David Beckham, 12-year-old daughter Harper and her three sons: Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 19. Among the guests, in addition to her colleagues her from the “Spice Girls” Geri Halliwell-Turner and Mel B, were Mark Anthony with his wife Nadia Ferreira, Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria and her husband Jose “Pepe” Baston, Jason Statham, Gordon Ramsay and many others.
A day before her birthday, Victoria shared a post on Instagram, writing: “As I prepare to enter my 50s (in heels of course!) I feel so incredibly blessed to have reached this milestone. Blessed but also “So accomplished and deeply satisfied not only with where I am as a woman, but also with how far my fashion and beauty brands have come,” she continued in the same post from a fashion designer to a cosmetics mogul – she was taught to “dream big”. “I believe you can be many things,” she writes. “My passion has always been to dream about something big, and then to dream even bigger! Believe in yourself first – everyone else will follow.” She also thanked David for his support throughout their 25 years of marriage, as well as their four children, writing that “if you’re really lucky, you’ll find someone , who believes in you even more than you believe in yourself”.
Victoria Beckham is one of the first real fashion influencers in recent years, long before social media. Her style inspires many women around the world even before Instagram profiles with millions of followers. She knows how to dictate fashion trends – when she wears something wacky, it instantly becomes fashionable, the same applies with particular force to her iconic hairstyles over the years. Therefore, quite expectedly, after ending his musical career, he appeared as a designer.
Victoria Beckham launched her fashion brand in 2008. She sells outfits from her in more than 400 stores worldwide, and we have already seen them at Paris Fashion Week.
Victoria was born on April 17, 1974 in Hertfordshire to Jacqueline and Anthony Adams. Thanks to a successful electrical engineering business, the Addams family provides a good life for their children, including driving a Rolls Royce. After watching the movie “Fame”, only seven-year-old Vicky is determined to become a star and enrolls in a theater school. Soon after, he saw an ad in a newspaper looking for prominent and talented female singers. Out of 400 women who auditioned for the future pop group, Victoria, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliway were selected. The five became the most successful female group of the century – “Spice Girls”.
In 1997, at a Manchester United match, Posh met her future husband – football star David Beckham, who wanted to meet the dizzying five. The two start dating and it causes widespread media interest. The following year (1998), David Beckham proposed to 24-year-old Posh with a $65,000 diamond ring. In May 1998, Gerry Halliway left the group with the summary – a difference in characters. On March 4, 1999, the first child of the Beckham family was born – the boy Brooklyn. Four months after that, Posh and Beckham had an $800,000-plus wedding in Ireland. Posh (as well as the other Spice Girls) later went solo.
In June 2007, the Spice Girls announced that they would be reuniting for a joint album of the group’s greatest hits, as well as an 11-city world tour. After the tour, Victoria devoted herself to her career as a fashion designer. Meanwhile, she gave birth to three more children. Over the years there have been a number of scandals and stories of a bunch of infidelities on Beckham’s part, but despite this, they remain one of the most stable families in social circles, for more than 25 years now.
I’m glad she’s smarter than me
Being married to the world’s fashion icon is no easy task. There were times when I was depressed and wondered if I was worthy of being her husband and the father of her children. She is an extremely capable woman, has a quick mind, devilish patience. She made me realize that there is nothing wrong with a woman being smarter than you in a relationship. On the contrary, it gives you strength, self-confidence and confidence.

He has an unmistakable style
Victoria Beckham and I have a lot in common, so I can say that we have been close friends for years. We are mostly connected by our passion for fashion and nice clothes. She has a truly impeccable style and sense of what goes with what. It was inevitable that he would go into fashion. She is a huge perfectionist in her work. If one detail is not perfected – it starts all over again.

She is not so domineering and cold
I like Victoria as a woman and as an artist even before I know her personally. But everyone said she was as cold and domineering a woman as she might seem if you didn’t know her. I later found out it wasn’t. She simply has an enviable discipline and is very precise and strict in everything she does. When we have something coming up together, I leave the organization to her.

Why does he never smile?
The smiles of Victoria Beckham, captured for more than 25 years under the spotlight, can literally be counted on the fingers. The fact that she doesn’t smile has become one of the main topics discussed along with her personality. According to rumors, she is so obsessed with her appearance that she does not smile to prevent wrinkles from forming on her face. At one point, the designer even started to joke about it, going out with T-shirts with the slogan “Fashion stole my smile” (“Fashion stole my smile”)
