Today on Netflix there is the newest documentary series “Victoria Beckham”, which tells the story of the rise and fall of the legendary Posh Spice. What facts we learned about Victoria from the series – read below.

Since childhood, Victoria wanted to perform on stage
The series shows low-archive footage of little Victoria – she sings, dances, and performs in fancy costumes. As it turns out, first of all, I was talking about the musical theater. “I loved to dance,” she guesses, when a fragment appears on the screen, where the critical Victoria performs a tap dance to the song If My Friends Could See Me Now from the musical Sweet Charity. “I used to be an artist. I knew the lyrics to the skin song from the West End,” she grins. As her mother later knows, she auditioned for a part in the play “Kishki” in her childhood and was rejected again before participating in the play “Zoryany Express”.
The role of Posh Spice spent her entire budget on clothes
The Spice Girls had budgets for concert outfits and clothing. Ale, like Victoria, “the other girls didn’t care enough about fashion. This deprived me of even a good budget.” In one video, Geri Halliwell, known as Ginger Spice, said: “Do you know what I took away? Speech for twenty pounds from Oxfam. She took all my money.” What did Victoria do with them? “I went to Gucci,” she says. “I had never owned a designer outfit before. And then fashion became everything to me.”
Vaughn shouted out Donatelli's anger at her first Versace garment
The series “Victoria Beckham” has a number of high-profile cameos – from longtime friend Eve Longoria to Tom Ford and Annie Wintour. But the most interesting story is Donatella Versace, the first designer who asked Victoria to attend a fashion show. The stinks of 1997 rock, since Donna Donatelli was obsessed with the Spice Girls.
When Victoria refused her request to open a Versace boutique, she was, in her words, “really caught.” The house of Versace organized a private flight for her to Milan and allowed her to visit the store. “I chose a black leather cloth. I remember trying it on, marveling in the mirror and saying: “It’s more fitting for me to wear cloth, but it’s better to tighten it at the waist, shorten it, tuck in the sleeves.” Basically, I went through all the cloth. I really can’t believe that I did it so rudely,” said Victoria.
Donatella remembers: “I told her: “You shouldn’t bother anyone.” And I thought: “How dare you?” And then I realized that she really did better. She knows her body.”
Victoria in the era of Baden-Baden
The first episode describes in detail the period when Victoria was in the resort town of Baden-Baden and spent her time on the first sleepers in her tiny mini-shorts, slim T-shirts, sleepy eyepieces and giant Birkin bags. “It’s a happy hour,” Victoria said, smiling. “I had big breasts. I had a lot of hair. We went shopping and enjoyed life. I remember how I spoiled one woman when I bought designer clothes that were too small.” so many bags that I couldn’t get past the hotel door.”
Marveling at this photo at once, it says: “I guess I just ignored my respects, as they were completely screwed up. Just an hour, if I didn’t see creative implementation, that’s how I lost my “hearing” – from Spice Girl to WAG (wives and girlfriends is a word for the glamorous squads and girlfriends of famous people, especially the athletes and stars of Formula 1). Then I didn’t inform anyone, but I really wanted to know for myself. those that are small, ale I needed to know the meta.”
She was enamored with her Marc Jacobs campaign, but ten years later she became even more beautiful

In 2007, Victoria made another splash with a Marc Jacobs show. After which the designer wrote a sheet of paper with a proposition to take part in his advertising campaign, and off he went. However, if I took the pictures ready, I was “pressed.” The smells reflected the public image of that time – and were far from glamorous.
“It was just that they were staring at me. Then I realized that I had become a laugher. No one took me seriously in this galooze. I knew that I wanted to be a designer, as I see it, and I also knew – I need someone to trust me.”
Ten years passed and Victoria turned to that very idea. Now that she has become an independent designer, she has realized that she is wasting her power, and her DNA is part of the brand. Having decided to “turn Victoria Beckham from Victoria Beckham,” she telephoned Juergen Teller, the photographer for the same Marc Jacobs campaign, and asked him to create those photos for her brand.
“When I’ve been photographed for ten years, I’ve been stared at. But now I wanted to change this image of myself.”

To achieve success in fashion, she had to “drive into a WAG”
A major factor in Victoria’s success in fashion was Roland Mouret, a designer whose clothes suited her and who later became her mentor.
“Rolan has just studied with me,” Victoria guesses. “We found a good language, and we trusted me. We were even more honest and, to be honest, even cruel.” He said that their enemies were fear and the loss of self-esteem: “In order for the world to become a reality, we had to drive WAG out of me.” Victoria says: “I loved these breasts in Baden-Baden. I have become a simple, elegant version of myself.”
Partnership with David Belhassen boosted Victoria's business
In the second and third episodes, Victoria openly reveals about the difficulties she encountered in the fashion business when her independent brand began to rapidly expand. Once again, she was driven into a corner – with millions of people in the money – and David, whose financial contribution was necessary, could no longer invest. “I was wasting my business. I needed outside investment. I needed help.”
During this period, investor David Belhassen appeared. Having improved the financial position of the company, he admits: “To be honest, I’m not at all in a bad situation.” First of all, I decided not to take part in business development. Victoria was devastated.
“My heart was broken,” seemingly out of tears at, perhaps, the most important moment of the series. “I was with the witch.” However, Belhassen’s thoughts were changed by his squad. One evening, as she was getting ready for the evening, she pulled on Victoria Beckham's glamorous cloth, and Belhassen changed her mind.
With laughter, Belhassen reveals: one of the extravagant expenses, which was necessary for the short term, was 70,000 euros per river in the office sector, as well as 15,000 euros, as required otrimuv for their watering. “Victoria told me: “I won’t let you down,” says Belhassen. After she presented the spring-summer 2025 collection, she said: “We turned the business around. There are no more drops in the sea. Ahead is a majestic light, such as we have not yet reached.”
