Biography

Victoria Caroline, Lady Beckham (née Adams; born 17 April 1974), is an English fashion designer, singer, and television personality. She rose to prominence in the 1990s as a member of the pop group the Spice Girls, in which she was nicknamed Posh Spice. After the Spice Girls disbanded in 2000, Beckham signed with Virgin Records to release her debut solo album Victoria Beckham, which produced two UK Top 10 singles. Beckham has also become an internationally recognised style icon and fashion designer.

Beckham has starred in seven official documentaries and reality shows, including Victoria's Secrets (2000), Being Victoria Beckham (2002), The Real Beckhams (2003), Victoria Beckham – A Mile in Their Shoes (2004), Victoria Beckham: Coming to America (2007), Beckham (2023), and the Netflix documentary Victoria Beckham (2025). She is married to former association football player Sir David Beckham, and they have four children, including Brooklyn and Romeo. As of May 2019, the couple's joint wealth is estimated at £355 million.

Following high-profile collaborations with other brands, Beckham launched an eponymous label in 2008, and a lower-priced (diffusion) label in 2011. The Victoria Beckham label was named designer brand of the year in the UK in 2011; in 2012 the brand was assessed as the star performer in the Beckham family's business interests. Writing in the Daily Telegraph in 2011, Belinda White noted that the transition from WAG to fashion designer had been more successful than most had predicted, saying: "She has gathered a significant celebrity following and won over the scathing fashion pack who now clamour for a ticket to her bi-annual show at New York Fashion Week." Beckham was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2017 New Year Honours and a Chevalière de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2026 for services to the fashion industry.
