Victoria Beckham in Harper’s Bazaar
Posh girl Victoria Beckham is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar (and inside, of course) and she explains that she works out every single day in order to stay in (skinny) shape. Why? Because:
‘I didn’t want to rely on retouching,’
‘I wanted to look at those pictures in 20 years’ time and say, “Wow, look – after three kids – I didn’t look bad.”’

Fierce
I think she’s right, she has a great body for a mother of 3.
I love it! Sometimes she does look a little thin though.
I know I defend a lot of the skinnies on this site, but I just can’t bring myself to do it with Victoria Beckham. Her thinness just does not happen to sit well on her frame (in my opinion, I feel I have to say that so people don’t go crazy on me!). I’m not going to go as far as saying she has an eating disorder, but perhaps she should not be against gaining a few. After all, she would still look amazing as she is very petite.
Even when you’re avoiding the eggshells, you’re bound to step on someone’s overgrown toes.
So happiness in life is about looking skinny on a magazine cover?
LOL
Probably for her it is a true happines
well said. when i look back at photos of myself, i want to think “man, i was really happy and making the most of my life,” not, “man, i was really devoting my every passing thought to keeping my legs below 5” in circumference.”
She’s insane, so obssesed about her body that she’ll end up in a hospital one day. Starvation and excessive excercising is way too big sacrifice for a so-called nice body. Not to mention the fact that it’s not healthy. But she forgot even that. Good appearance is everything.
gorgeous. love her!
Poor woman must never go a day without thinking about perfecting her body and consuming the right foods in the right amounts and doing the right exercises at the right time. I’m not so sure whether I envy Victoria’s lifestyle, or even her body.
Holy hot! She looks great.
Regarding her comment about working out everyday, well…so do I. It’s a stress reliever.
me too
she doesn’t like retouching? where’s the difference between retouching via plastic surgery, tons of make up, certain poses, loads of personal training and a strict diet and retouching via photoshop..? it’s both artificial.
the only thing i like about her is that she kept her piggy-nose throughout her career. must have been tempting to refine the nose “hollywood-style”.
amazing connection you just made there… also, look at the website goodplasticsurgery.com i believe victoria’s surgically refined nose is on there somewhere
well, do you agree? she already is far from natural and close to artificial, so what harm could retouching do?
i’ve actually looked her nose up on gps and didnt find it altered. although i never liked her nose i find it good that she didnt adjust it into something more mundane.
Victoria has a model quality although she is just 5′4”.
I am not sure though if she knows what she is doing with her life.
She seems a woman who can achieve a lot of things if she wants them but i am not so sure about her priorities.
OMG she is so lame and superficial!
and we aren’t? look at what website we’re on. lmao
If that is what makes her happy and feeling alive…then good for her…work-outs can totally turn into an addiction but not in a bad way…whether she is obsessed or not…at least she is doing what she likes and getting what she wants…if she is passionate about looks and her body…so what
stop it,people…most women would love to reach that level of commitment to working out and looking great
She looks like she is in her 20s though..she looks like she is 28 or something..I know she is older…
Grace–she is not a poor woman..it is up to her anyways and it is her choice to live her lifestyle like this…at least better than fat people who look bad and don’t ever care or do anything about it…
Working out and taking care of oneself is definitely fine. But when it becomes an obssesion, it’s really bad. How can a person be happy if he always thinks about his looks? Where are the other priorities? Like family, education etc.
This is superficial, yet I understand that celebs have to maintain their good looks as long as possible but damn, all the efforts they make to look stunning aren’t worth to be stressed about their appearance all the time.
Vicky seems to be a smart woman but she has some major problems with her self-esteem.
Well, we don’t really know what happens in her life behind closed doors right? She’s had her singingcareer, she’s done the rich housewife thing, now it seems she is focusing on the things she obviasly likes; fashion. She appears in the covers of glossy magazines, she has her own fashionlabel etc =) I think it seems like she’s got other things to worry about other than her appearance.
maybe for you a priority is family and eduction
im sure she cares about other aspects in her life besides working out but if she doesnt thats her business
oh and its called being in shape and enjoying getting in shape and enjoying looking hot, not self esteem issue.
i despise this country for making women feel like they dont need to stress their appearance
everyone can take pride in how they look if they decide to do so. its great you should try it
I reckon she looks awesome.
She’s always been on the thin side I think, even in the Spice Girls. It’s just that she doesn’t smile much that everyone hates her and she comes across really cold and stuff. Sometimes yes she does very thin and these would’ve been photoshopped to the extreme so she looks streamlined and not bony, but generally i think she has a good figure.
It annoys me how people bash her when i think alot are jealous. She’s a very successful women and always looks elegant and beautiful. She’s a devotee of high fashion, she needs to be thin to fit those styles and look good in them (it’s true.)
She’s got 10 years of marriage under her belt and three kids. She’s a successful women who I look up to. Although her figure is not ideal, it pleases her and that’s all that matters. I don’t believe she has an ED, she needs the energy to simply live, she’s a realbusy lady.
*Although her figure is not MY ideal, it pleases her and that’s all that matters
She works out so much to keep away the retouching . . . But to me it looks like she was retouched. I’m no expert, so maybe I’m wrong, but it looks like they’ve thickened her up a bit. Or, at least made a couple of those extra pokey looking bones dissapear. Like I said, totally could be wrong, it looks like that to me.
eh she has admitted to not eating before and not exercising to stay skinny. you can tell! absolutely no muscle tone! no butt no boobs (as she used to have in spice girls when she was a perfect weight-used to be my favourite)…she isnt healthy and when you see photos of her untouched (which is not often) she is full of saggy skin and cellulite! why are people so brainwashed by the media?! do they honestly think these ppl look this way without unhealthy habits (yes, i know some ppl in real life do…but she doesnt! and has admitted that! plus just look at photos from her 20’s and 30’s)…and…do you really think they look like this!? (not with a whole lot or camera angles, lighting and AIRBRUSHING). get into the real world people!
If that’s what makes her happy, what’s wrong with that? Every person has their own idea of what makes them happy and if she feels accomplished for staying thin and working out every single day in order to feel that way, I don’t see the problem. I think everyone over generalizes everything and simplifies it it to be one thing or the other….why can’t be a combo of things–there are a lot of things that play into what makes a person happy! To only assume that she is saying mywholelifeshappiness=nicemagazinecovers!? Like, really? I mea, c’mon…relax–sounds like jealousy to me….
Well in other people’s defense, Victoria did state in one of her books that she does have an unhealthy obsession with her appearance. I think once you can use the word “obsession,” it passes the point where it is something that makes you happy or accomplished and it is more like you have to be a certain way otherwise you are not satisfied with anything at all.
i so agree
a lot of people here are hating too much..
no matter what people say about her. she is proof that even people with plain looks can look superhot. through this i think shes a role model. through her skinniness not.
She has so much money, that she can’t be preoccupied by something else that is not her body. If I had that much money, maybe I would have been the same, only in spas, massages, etc. Although I don’t agree with the people that starve themselves…
She is ferosh! I die for her! I am 5′2. 108lbs..17% body fat and i work out 5 days a week and do weight watchers to maintain my figure…for me. I look great and feel great (and am my own worst critic.) I am a mom of 4 year old twins and I look damn good! I see other moms looking at me at the beach with looks of disgust (at themselves obviously…) I flaunt it cause i can…I applaud Posh for not apologizing for what she is! I hot mom of 3 with the world’s HOTTEST man! and all the money she could ever need…I live vicariously thru her!!!!
interesting.. you live vicariously through her? so are you really a mom of 3 with the world’s hottest husband, or are you just talking about posh? hrmm.
talking about Posh…and how she makes no apologies for who/what she is….love it…
don’t be such a bad critic of yourself!
Don’t be so negative towards people that feel good about themselves.
You’re your own worst critic, ckmj? Weird, because you sound really in-love with yourself. You shouldn’t pride yourself on making other people regard themselves with “disgust.” Ugh.
Narcissism friend, it’s an epidemic in America.
She looks good. People are too hard on her. Let her be. She makes good fashion, IMHO. Think of the dress that JLO wore….
this woman is crazy.
I love the shape of her face. She looks like a little pixie. http://dlisted.com/files/poshapple.jpg
