Victoria Caroline Beckham (née
Adams; born 17 April 1974)[1][2] is an English singer-songwriter, dancer,
fashion designer, businesswoman and model.
During her rise to fame with the
late 1990s girl pop group the Spice Girls, Beckham was dubbed Posh Spice, a
nickname first coined by the British pop music magazine, Top of the Pops in the
July 1996 issue.[3] Since the Spice Girls pursued separate careers, she has had
a solo pop music career, scoring four UK Top 10 singles. Her first single to be
released, "Out of Your Mind", reached Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart and is
her highest chart entry to date. During her solo music career she has been
signed to Virgin Records and Telstar Records.
Beckham has found more success as
an internationally recognised and photographed style icon. Her career in fashion
includes designing a line of jeans for Rock & Republic and later designing her
own denim brand, dVb Style. Beckham has brought out her own range of sunglasses
and fragrance, entitled Intimately Beckham, which has been released in the UK
and the US. In association with the Japanese store Samantha Thavasa and Shiatzy
Chen, she has produced a range of handbags and jewellery. In addition, Beckham
has released two best-selling books; one her autobiography, the other a fashion
guide.
In her television ventures, Beckham
has participated in five official documentaries and reality shows about her,
some of which include Being Victoria Beckham and The Real Beckhams. Her last
documentary to date was Victoria Beckham: Coming to America which documented her
move to the US with her family in 2007. She has since made a cameo appearance in
an episode of American TV series Ugly Betty, and been a guest judge on Project
Runway, Germany's Next Topmodel, and American Idol (season 9).
Beckham is married to English
footballer David Beckham with whom she has three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
As of 2009, the couple's joint wealth is estimated at £125 million.[4]

Early
life
Victoria Caroline Adams was born to
Anthony and Jacqueline Adams at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex
and raised in Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire.[5] Anthony Adams was an electronics
engineer[5] and the success of the family business meant a wealthy upbringing
for Victoria and her siblings,[1] Louise and Christian.[6]
Adams attended St. Mary's High
School in Cheshunt. She was embarrassed by her family's wealth and often begged
her father not to drop her off outside the school in their Rolls Royce.[7]
Beckham said that during her schooling days, she was a victim of bullying,
having been made to feel like an outsider. She commented "Children were
literally picking things up out of the puddles and throwing them at me. And I
just stood there, on my own. No one was with me. I didn't have any friends."[8]
Adams was inspired by watching the
musical Fame, and subsequently decided that she would become famous.[9] It was
then that her parents enrolled her at Jason Theatre School.[1] At 17 she
attended Laine Theatre Arts in Epsom, Surrey and studied dance and
modelling.[1][2] She was also in a band called Persuasion.[10]
Career
Spice
Girls
In 1994, Victoria Adams (as she was
then) joined the all-girl group the Spice Girls, first called "Touch," with Geri
Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm. She had previously
answered an advertisement in The Stage in March 1993 which required girls who
were "street smart, extrovert, ambitious and able to sing and dance".[5]
In 1996, the group's first single,
"Wannabe", went to Number 1 in the UK and US, and another 29 countries. It was
followed by eight further Number 1 singles from their albums Spice, Spiceworld
and Forever.[2] Each member of the group received a nickname from the media.
Victoria was named "Posh Spice" due to her refined attitude, form-fitting
designer outfits, such as little black dresses, and her love of high-heeled
footwear. The group was one of the most successful pop acts of the 1990s,
selling over fifty-five million records worldwide.[11] After the release of
their third album, Forever (UK number 2), which was far less successful than
their previous two albums, the Spice Girls stopped recording, leading Beckham to
try and build a solo career.
In 2007, the Spice Girls reformed
and announced plans to embark upon a reunion tour,[11] from which they were said
to have earned £10 million each (approximately $20 million).[12] Victoria had
previously stated that she and her former Spice colleagues were enjoying their
solo careers in various fields, saying "We're all still doing our own
thing."[13] Their "Greatest Hits" album was released in early November, and the
tour began on 2 December 2007. At its advent, Beckham said "I wanted my children
to see that Mummy was a pop star. It was the last opportunity for them to stand
in a crowd full of people screaming for the Spice Girls."[14] When Beckham had
her hair coloured brown for the tour, she stated that her sons immediately
reacted by saying "Oh my goodness, it's Posh Spice. She's back."[15] During one
Spice Girls performance at London's The O2 Arena, her three sons accompanied her
on stage during "Mama", along with the other Spice Girls' children.[16] She was
the only member of the group not to sing a solo song on the tour, instead posing
in the style of a fashion show on a makeshift catwalk, whereas the others each
performed a number from their solo careers.[17] One critic wrote "This time
around Posh gets the biggest cheer when she sings her solo lines. She knows it
too – and it seems to give her more and more confidence as the show goes
on."[18]
Filmmaker Bob Smeaton directed an
official film of the tour entitled Spice Girls: Giving You Everything, which was
first aired on Fox8 in Australia. It later aired in the UK on 31 December 2007
on BBC One.[19]
As well as their sell-out tour, the
Spice Girls were contracted to appear in Tesco advertisements, for which they
were paid £1 million each.[20]
Solo
music artist
On 14 August 2000, Beckham released
her first solo single, "Out of Your Mind" in collaboration with Dane Bowers and
Truesteppers.[5] The week of release coincided with the release of "Groovejet
(If This Ain't Love)" by Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor, resulting in a
chart battle dubbed 'Posh vs. Posher' by the tabloids.[21] Following a huge
publicity campaign, "Out Of Your Mind" was outsold by Ellis-Bextor, and debuted
at Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart.[22] Before the single's release, on 8 July
2000 she made her public solo debut at London's Hyde Park at a concert to raise
money for the Prince's Trust charity. She sang "Out of Your Mind" to a
100,000-strong audience.[23]
Beckham then signed a recording
contract with her group label Virgin Records.[2] Her next single as a solo
artist, "Not Such An Innocent Girl", was released on 17 September 2001.[1]
Again, she faced competition in another hugely hyped chart battle, this time
with Kylie Minogue's single "Can't Get You Out Of My Head".[24] Despite a huge
promotional campaign, Beckham was outsold eight to one, and her single debuted
at number 6.[25] Beckham's eponymous debut album, which was released on 1
October 2001, reached Number 10 in the UK album chart[26] The album cost a
reputed £5 million to produce and it sold a modest 50,000 copies.[27]
The second and final single to be
released from the album was "A Mind of Its Own" on 11 February 2002. The single
reached number 6 in the UK[28] and sold 56,500 copies.[29] Rumours soon spread
that Beckham was soon to be dropped by her label for not charting in the Top
Three. These were strongly refuted at the time.[30] Beckham commented "You know
what newspapers are like, they just like to put all the negative stuff in, but
as far as I'm concerned and the record company is concerned it is all
great."[30]
A third single, "I Wish", was
promoted but never materialised. The single version was a remix featuring Robbie
Craig, and was performed on TV on Friday Night's All Wright.[31] Following the
announcement of Beckham's second pregnancy, the single was shelved. Beckham and
Virgin Records went their separate ways;[32][33] a statement from her publicist
read: "No-one has been dropped. The Virgin deal has come to a natural end and
both parties have decided not to continue."[32]
In 2002, Telstar Records signed
Beckham in a deal made with 19 Management[27] worth £1.5 million.[2] Beckham
spent much of that year recording a pop-influenced album called Open Your Eyes
which yielded the single "Let Your Head Go", but she allegedly chose not to
release it after being disappointed with the results.[34][35] Instead of pop,
Beckham wanted a more urban sound, working with urban producer Damon Dash for a
more RnB and hip hop influence.[28][27] When he was first asked why he was
working with Beckham he stated "Because I see how much she gets photographed
over here."[2] A Dash-produced track "It's That Simple" featuring M.O.P.
premiered on radio stations in July 2003,[28] generating mixed reviews;[28]
Beckham's first single with
Telstar, "Let Your Head Go / This Groove",[28] was released in the UK on 29
December 2003, following heavy promotion and many TV appearances across the
Christmas period with the video being directed by Andy Hylton. The single
charted at Number 3 in the UK.[28] This double A-side lifted "Let Your Head Go"
from Beckham's earlier pop-inspired work with "This Groove" one of her
Hip-Hop/R'n'B songs and remains Beckham's last single release to date. She is
currently the only Spice Girl never to have had a UK solo number one, though she
is also the only Spice Girl to have all her single/album releases go Top 10.
Outside of the UK, Damon Dash had plans for Beckham in the US, including a
potential release of "Let Your Head Go / This Groove" under the name of "Posh
Spice Victoria Beckham". The release was proposed for sometime between March to
May 2004, but never eventuated.[36]
With the UK media describing her
solo music career a failure, combined with a rumoured fall-out between Dash and
Fuller, her hip hop album, Come Together, was not released.[1][37] Amidst the
collapse of Telstar, remaining plans for Beckham's music career were
cancelled.[38][39]
Beckham is the only Spice Girl to
have all of her singles and albums chart in the Top 10 of the UK charts, but she
also has released fewer albums (1) and singles (4). She is also the only Spice
Girl not to have a solo Number 1.
Books
Beckham's autobiography, entitled
Learning to Fly, was released on 13 September 2001.[40] The title was taken from
a line in a song from the musical Fame, which Beckham had enjoyed as a child.
The verse that inspired the title is: "I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna learn
how to fly".[41] The book documents her childhood, time during the Spice Girls,
her marriage and family life, as well as her career at the time.[42] Learning to
Fly became the third best-selling non-fiction title of 2001 and the total UK
sales stand at more than 500,000 copies.[43] When the book was first released,
it went to Number 1 in the book charts after four weeks of release, relegating
Robbie Williams' book to second place.[25] A high-profile guest appearance on
Parkinson, watched by nine million people, helped to promote the book.[25]
Before the publishing of the book, Hello!, The Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday
joined to buy the rights to preview and serialise the book before its release.
The figure paid was thought to be near £1 million.[10]
Beckham was quoted by a Spanish
journalist in 2005 as saying "I've never read a book in my life".[44] She later
claimed this was a mistranslation from the original Spanish in which the
interview was printed, saying she actually stated that she never had time to
finish reading a book because she was always too busy looking after her
children.[45]
Beckham's second book, a fashion
advice guide, entitled That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything In
Between, was published on 27 October 2006.[46] That Extra Half an Inch: Hair,
Heels and Everything In Between includes tips from Beckham on fashion, style and
beauty,[46] and also contains photography by Mario Testino, Annie Leibovitz and
Steven Meisel. The book became another bestseller,[47] and has sold 400,000
copies in Britain alone since it was published in hardcover.[48] The rights have
since been sold to the United States, the Netherlands, Japan, Portugal,
Lithuania, Russia, and most recently China.[48]
Television
Beckham has shot five official
documentaries. The first, dated 11 January 2000, was called Victoria's Secrets,
a programme only shown in the UK on Channel4. It involved Beckham being followed
by cameras while also discussing and interviewing other British celebrities,
such as Elton John.[49] The second, Being Victoria Beckham, was broadcast in
March 2002 and saw Beckham discussing her career as a solo artist with the
release of her first album, and also showed her at various photo shoots and
recording sessions. The documentary attracted a strong audience of 8.83
million,[50] coming top in its timeslot.[51] One critic described her as "so
clearly level-headed, happy with her not inconsiderable lot and seemingly
unfazed by the madly intrusive nature of her monumentally ridiculous fame".[52]
The third, The Real Beckhams, aired on 24 December 2003 on ITV1 and focused on
the Beckhams' move to Madrid from London after David Beckham was signed to Real
Madrid. It also featured Victoria Beckham re-launching her solo career and
showed her mocking the tabloid stories she reads in the paper every day. The
special received an audience of 6.10 million viewers[53] and was later released
on DVD on 2 February 2004.[54]
The fourth was entitled Full Length
& Fabulous: The Beckhams' 2006 World Cup Party, and followed Victoria and David
Beckham organising and making preparations to host a 2006 World Cup Party at a
marquee in the grounds of their mansion in Hertfordshire, which aimed to raise
money for their charity.[55] Two tickets to attend the ball were auctioned
on-line for charity, and sold for £103,000.[56] The documentary aired on 28 May
2006 and showed the event itself, where the menu was designed especially by
friend and chef Gordon Ramsay and the charity auction was hosted by Graham
Norton.[57] Ramsay catered for 600 guests, with the aid of 40 chefs and 100
waiting staff.[57] The ITV documentary attracted an average of 7.56 million
viewers.[58]
To document Victoria Beckham's
preparations for her family's move to the US, she signed a deal with NBC for six
episodes of a half-hour unscripted reality TV series. Despite original plans for
six episodes, the show was cut to a one hour special only as there "just wasn't
enough (material) for a series."[59] The show, called Victoria Beckham: Coming
to America, aired on 16 July 2007 in the US and Canada. It was heavily
scrutinised by the American media and critics, with The New York Post describing
it as "an orgy of self-indulgence" and also describing Beckham as "vapid and
condescending".[59] The programme was the third-most-watched programme in its
time-slot and received viewing figures of 4.9 million in the US, beaten by a
repeat of Wife Swap and two sitcoms.[60] The programme aired in Britain on 17
July 2007 on ITV with 3.84 million viewers tuning in.[61] The programme was
produced by Simon Fuller who managed her and the Spice Girls on their come-back
tour.[62]
In July 2007, it was announced that
Beckham would shortly begin filming a cameo appearance as herself in an episode
of the second season of ABC's TV series Ugly Betty.[63] The episode, "A Nice Day
for a Posh Wedding", aired on 9 November 2007 in the United States and on 23
November in the United Kingdom.[64] Beckham's first line was "This is major",
said when bursting through a curtain at a dress fitting for a wedding, in which
she was the bridesmaid.[64] Beckham has said she only agreed to the part because
of her interest in fashion, and not for the acting opportunity.[64] Despite her
forays into television, Beckham has denied plans to embark upon a Hollywood
movie career.[65]
In February 2008, it was revealed
that Beckham would be the guest judge for the finale of fourth season of Project
Runway, which aired on 5 March 2008 in the US.[66]
Fashion
Beckham has become better
recognised as an international style icon, rather than a music artist.[11][67]
Beckham made a guest appearance on the catwalk for Maria Grachvogel in 2000,
marking her debut as a model at London Fashion Week.[68] Beckham also acted as a
British ambassador for Dolce and Gabbana[69] and was briefly the face of
Rocawear in 2003.[70]
Beckham designed a limited-edition
fashion line for Rock & Republic called VB Rocks in 2004, consisting mainly of
jeans for the high end of the market, retailing at approximately $300 in the
US.[71] She had previously "hit it off instantly" with Rock & Republic designer,
Michael Ball, in Los Angeles. He commented "She not only understands fashion and
trends but has been a trend-setter and fashion icon for years."[72]
On 16 January 2006, Beckham walked
the runway for Roberto Cavalli at Milan Fashion Week, and was for a period
exclusively dressed by him for red-carpet and social events.[73] For the March
2006 issue of Harper's Bazaar, Beckham acted as fashion editor when she styled
her close friend, Katie Holmes, for a fashion shoot.[74] In July 2006, Beckham
released a line of sunglasses, called dvb Eyewear.[75][76] She has admitted to a
personal love of sunglasses, saying "I'm quite obsessed with sunglasses. I
collect vintage Guccis and Carreras — they can make virtually any outfit look
cool."[9] After Beckham's departure from Rock & Republic, in September 2006, she
furthered her fashion ventures by launching her own denim label, of which she
acts as creative director. The new line of Beckham's jeans collection is called
dvb Style.[48][71] In the same month, Intimately Beckham, a his-and-her
fragrance line, was launched at a lavish press conference in Venice.[75][76]
Beckham then launched her new official website, dvbstyle.com, which promotes her
fashion work.[77][78] She also produced a range of handbags and jewellery in
association with the Japanese store, Samantha Thavasa.[75][76]
On 5 June 2007, Beckham won two
British Glamour Magazine Awards, one for "Woman of the Year" and another for
"Entrepreneur of the Year," which celebrated her fashion achievements.[79] On 14
June 2007 Beckham launched her dvb Denim collection in New York at the high-end
Saks Fifth Avenue, along with unveiling her eye-wear range in the United States
for the first time.[80] In the same month, Beckham made her first appearance at
London's annual Graduate Fashion Week as a judge alongside Glenda Bailey
(editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar) and Lanvin's Alber Elbaz, to choose the
winner of the River Island Gold Award, worth £20,000.[81] In August 2007,
Intimately Beckham perfume hit US stores for the first time.[82][83] Victoria
Beckham has stated "We are not just saying, 'We are celebrities, put our name on
it.' I love to be involved with the whole process."[84] The Intimately Beckham
line has been predicted to sell over $100 million worth of sales
internationally, doubling this estimate in 2008.[84] In September 2007, Beckham
released Intimately Beckham Night a new range of his-and-her fragrances,[85] and
her debut cosmetics line V-Sculpt was unveiled and launched in Tokyo.[86] In a
2007 appearance at an LA Galaxy press conference, Beckham is credited with
having popularised Roland Mouret's 'moon dress' and his brand,[87] and Beckham
was also the face of Marc Jacobs for his Spring 2008 collection.[88] Beckham's
own fashion collection debuted during the 2008 New York Fashion Week at the
Waldorf Hotel,[89] featuring dresses, of which only 400 will be made.[90] Her
first collection, that will retail between £650 and £1900,[90] was met with
positive reviews; "it was a very impressive, accomplished collection, with not a
single dud. ... it was the fabrics (silk, wool and organza) and the attention to
detail that impressed", wrote one critic,[91] whilst others called it
"Beautiful", "desirable" and "classy".[92]
Beckham sealed her status as a
fashion icon by appearing on the cover of different editions of Vogue Magazine
three times in a the space of a year.[93] Beckham's first appearance was on the
April 2008 cover of British Vogue, then in November she appeared on Indian
Vogue, and in February 2009 she made the cover of Russian Vogue.[94]
Beckham has voiced her anti-fur
beliefs, and promotes an animal friendly wardrobe filled with faux/synthetic
furs. Her stand against the fur industry has generated admiration from animal
rights organizations, including PETA. Of PETA's numerous anti-fur campaigns,
Beckham stated that she is "supportive of its high-profile anti-fur campaigns,"
and pledged "never to work with fur in any of her own fashion collections".[95]
Beckham is also well known for her
love of designer high heeled shoes.[96]
Personal life
Victoria Adams started dating
football player David Beckham in 1997 after they had met at a charity football
match, prompting him to request a meeting with her.[97] Of their initial meeting
she said, "I didn't really know who he was. I was never into football."[98] The
couple announced their engagement in 1998 and were dubbed "Posh and Becks" by
the media.[99] On 4 July 1999 they were married by the Bishop of Cork, Paul
Colton, at Luttrellstown Castle, Ireland.[100] The wedding attracted much media
coverage.[101] Beckham's team-mate, Gary Neville, was the best man,[97] and the
couple's four month old son Brooklyn was the ring bearer.[102] Most of the media
were kept away from the ceremony as an exclusive deal with OK! Magazine had been
arranged, but photographs were released showing the Beckhams sitting on golden
thrones.[103] A total of 437 staff were employed for the wedding reception,
which was estimated to have cost £500,000.[104] The couple bought what would
become their most famous home for £2.5 million in 1999;[105] the property, which
is set in 24 acres (97,000 m2) of land, was duly given a £3 million renovation
and was subsequently dubbed Beckingham Palace by the media.[105]
The couple have three sons:
Brooklyn Joseph (born 4 March 1999, Westminster, London),[106] Romeo James (born
1 September 2002, Westminster,[107] London),[108] and Cruz David (born 20
February 2005, Madrid, Spain).[109][110] Elton John and David Furnish are
reportedly the godparents of Brooklyn and Romeo, and the godmother is Elizabeth
Hurley.[111] The Beckhams have stated that they would like to have more
children, especially a daughter.[112]
In January 2000, a tip-off to
Scotland Yard detectives exposed a plot to kidnap Victoria and Brooklyn Beckham
and hold them at a house in Hampstead, London.[113] The family was then moved to
a secret location, but no arrests were made.[113] Later in March 2000, she
received a death threat prior to performing at the Brit Awards with the Spice
Girls,[113] and in the show's rehearsal, a red laser light appeared on her chest
and she was rushed off stage.[113] After a fire door was found to be lodged
open, it was thought that there had been an assassin there, and Beckham later
revealed that she was terrified by the experience.[113] In November 2002, five
people were arrested after another plot for her kidnap was infiltrated by a
tabloid newspaper.[114] All charges were dropped after a witness was deemed
unreliable.[115]
In 2004, allegations surfaced that
David Beckham had had a brief affair with a former personal assistant, Rebecca
Loos.[116] The affair had apparently taken place when David had moved to Madrid,
although he denied all the allegations.[116]
The Beckhams moved to Los Angeles,
California on 12 July 2007 as a result of David Beckham being signed to play for
the LA Galaxy. On their arrival in America on 12 July 2007, the couple were met
by hundreds of paparazzi and media representatives, causing a media frenzy.[117]
They currently reside in a $22 million Beverly Hills mansion with ten security
guards.[118] To create publicity for their move to America, the couple were
photographed in their underwear for the fashion magazine, W,[117] which also
included an interview in which Victoria Beckham said that David's supposed
affair with Loos had made their marriage stronger.[117]
It was reported in October 2007
that Beckham had turned down the opportunity to appear in Sex and the City: The
Movie. She stated in an interview: "...asked to be in the Sex and the City film,
which I would have loved to have done, but because I am in full-on Spice Girls
rehearsal mode, unfortunately, I can't do it."[119]
Beckham's marriage and career as a
singer have made her the 52nd richest woman in Britain.[120] and the 619th
richest person in Britain with husband David, with an estimated joint wealth of
£112 million ($225 million USD).[4]
