Get ready to go behind the scenes of Victoria Beckham's life like never before. The former Spice Girl and fashion icon has just released a three-part Netflix documentary series that gives fans an intimate look at her journey from a bullied musical theatre kid to a global fashion powerhouse.
As a lifelong Spice Girls fan, I was beyond excited to get an early preview of the documentary. What unfolds on screen is Victoria at her most vulnerable and unfiltered, as she shares her struggles with self-doubt, eating disorders, and the intense scrutiny that has followed her for decades.
But here's where it gets interesting - Victoria opens up about her 'attention-seeking' WAG era, and how she used fashion as a way to cope with the pressures of being in the public eye. She also shares how her husband David Beckham became her rock during this time, offering her the support she needed to navigate the challenges of fame.
One of the most surprising moments in the documentary is when Victoria reveals that she used to be 'makeup obsessed' as a young girl. She shares how she would collect products and mix custom lipstick samples, which eventually led her to create her own beauty brand.
But what really caught my attention was when Victoria spoke candidly about her struggle with an eating disorder. She shares how she tried to control her narrative by controlling her clothing, and how her desire for control eventually spiralled out of control. David Beckham also opens up about how he supported Victoria through this difficult time, and how he helped her to see that she was more than just her physical appearance.
And this is the part most people miss - Victoria's journey is not just about her struggles, but also about her triumphs. She shares how she proved fashion critics wrong by creating a successful fashion label that has been worn by celebrities like Madonna.
As Victoria says, 'I've now earned my place in this industry, and I have to work hard to maintain that.' But it's clear that her journey has not been easy. She shares how the constant public scrutiny has taken a toll on her self-image and mental health, and how she has had to learn to cope with the pressures of fame.
The documentary also explores the highs and lows of Victoria's fashion empire, including the time her business went into debt. David Beckham shares how Victoria came to him and said, 'We need some more money, the business needs more money,' and how they worked together to get the business back on track.
Throughout the documentary, Victoria is joined by a host of celebrities, including her husband David, best friend Eva Longoria, and fashion designers Donatella Versace and Roland Mouret.
