Victoria Beckham has been holding the honorary title of the most stylish woman on the planet for many years now. Initially, the young lady achieved success as a singer, realized her potential as a fashion designer, and found happiness in marriage with football star David Beckham. And if at the beginning of her career, the current socialite looked cheerful and cheerful, then recently she has turned into a dull anorexic. What happened to the appearance of a happy wife and mother?

Biography Posh Spice

Victoria Caroline Beckham (nee Adams) was born in Hertfordshire, UK on April 17, 1974. In a wealthy family, two more children were brought up - brother Christian and sister Louise. At school, rich Vikki was disliked because of envy of her material condition. She often sat in a corner during fun games classmates.

Trying to prick for the most painful, peers mocked Victoria's every pimple, her fleshy nose was also ridiculed. The girl splashed out all her unfulfilled ambitions at home - she loved to pose for a photo, changed her hairstyles and put on makeup, tried on extravagant outfits. Running away from problems in communication, the girl selflessly studied ballet. After graduating from the ballet class, she entered the Laines Arts Theater in the direction of dance and modeling. While still receiving her education, she began to make her way into the world of insidious show business with all her might.

Victoria Beckham's Peppered Career

In 1994, the ambitious brunette joined the cult youth group Spice Girls. Because of her addiction to fashion trends and expensive brands, the girl was nicknamed Posh Spice, which means “Chic Peppercorn”. Meager vocals of average scall did not deserve applause. Victoria Beckham looked faded against the background of her bandmates. But the overall success overwhelmed Vicki, the disc of the Spice team was sold in 20 million copies, conquering the first lines of the fashion charts.

Until 1998, the real spice-mania continued, teenagers covered the walls with posters of the group, replicated records, chanted the names of peppercorns at concerts. In 2001, the soloists were outraged by the terms of the contract and tore it up. After that, the four set off for free swimming. There was an even later attempt by Tory to revive the band's former glory, but the peppercorns, not the first freshness, have long ceased to attract the attention of the public.

Fashion brand Beckham

In 1999, photos of Victoria Beckham in a wedding dress scattered across glossy magazines like hot cakes from a tray. The magnificent wedding, where the former soloist of the Spice Girls and the venerable football player David Beckham combined the bonds of marriage, made a splash among the world community.

After the celebration, David and Victoria Beckham began to harmoniously complement each other, creating an expensive brand from a common surname.

• Not having a special singing talent, Vicki came to grips with her husband's style. After the efforts of the cunning little wife, thousands of women literally licked the photo of a football player in shorts on the covers of magazines.
• 2001 - the release of the solo album "Victoria Beckham", after which it became obvious that Tory's singing goes out of hand very badly.
• Cooperation with global brands D&G, Rock&Republic, etc.

• Creation of collections of outfits "DVB", in which dresses, bags and underwear are exorbitantly expensive.
• The author of the book "That extra half-inch: hair, heels and everything else in between", which has become the new bible of fashion.

Plastics Victoria Beckham

The appearance of the former peppercorn Mrs. Adams was initially far from ideal. Not to mention the fact that some parts of her body were ridiculed by those around her. The cruel world of show business chews and spits out hundreds of applicants for money and fame. Now, looking at the photo, which depicts Victoria Beckham before and after plastic surgery, you can pay attention to the liveliness and naturalness of the early pictures, with all the "masculinity" and heaviness of the face.

At the present time, the appearance of the wife of a tough football player resembles a typhoid scumbag than a socialite contented with life.

• Rhinoplasty. Victoria Beckham suffered before plastic surgery due to excessive "potato" nose. A wide tip with a swollen pip gave the face simplicity and roughness. Rhinoplasty has been done multiple times. Initially, the snuff organ was only slightly trimmed, and finally it was cut off only a few years ago. From the huge beak, the surgeons built the cutest nose without a single scar and scar, since the operation took place through an internal access.

• . Like another modern star skinny girl, Vikki removed the "bulldog cheeks" - Bish's lumps. This manipulation led to the fact that Victoria Beckham after the operation visually became much thinner, but older. The mischievous girlish swelling on the face and the cute dimples on the cheeks disappeared, because the chin line sharpened more.

• Cheekbone plasty. In the case of Mrs. Adams, the cheekbone surgery was somewhat unsuccessful. In 2014, a woman shocked her fans by appearing at an appointment with a cheekbone that had “slid down”. The characteristic swelling in this area, redness and a strange shape of the face made it possible to state that the world was another victim of the pursuit of an ideal artificial appearance.

• Chin plastic surgery (mentoplasty). Victoria Beckham was obsessed with being too thin before her surgery. The chin has become another part of the face, over which surgeons conjured. During the operation, a small implant made of porous polymers was inserted under the skin, which as a result balanced the proportions of Vicky's face. The stubby chin straightened, the face added aristocratic outlines.

• Lip augmentation. At different periods of her life, Victoria Beckham either pouted or lowered her lips. Of course, there were injections of hyaluronic acid. It cannot be said that the former peppercorn, not knowing the measure, began to inject tons of silicone into her lips, like or. Mrs. Beckham definitely does not have a craving for a hypertrophied “whistle” instead of a mouth.

• Change in the shape of the breast. Victoria Beckham's plastic surgery to change the shape of her breasts can be called inconsistent and chaotic. In her youth, Vicki could not be called a inch, because her curvy forms were torn from tight necklines. Star life was in full swing. Jumping across the stage high heels, peppercorn Victoria lost weight, and with it the volume of her breasts also went away.

The figure before and after losing weight “feel better” by ten kilograms. In the early 2000s, the star thought of putting huge cans-implants on herself, which looked like ridiculously round jelly on her withered, bony body. In 2005, the girl decided to experiment with sizes again and enlarged her breasts even more. Looking at the photo, where Victoria Beckham before and after the operation, we note that from a modest second size, her charms “grew up” to an inflated sixth.

Tightened by the same corset, Victoria Beckham hid the true origin of her feminine dignity for a long time after plastic surgery, but not only for plastic surgeons, but also for the most ordinary followers of the star's Instagram page, the nature of the changes was obvious. After giving birth and the birth of her third child, Vicki Beckham took out the annoying jelly from her chest, relying on her natural appearance.

• Beauty injections. Botox does not scare even an inexperienced European child. But a sense of proportion is the key to a positive result. Here Victoria Beckham made a mistake. Her eternally greasy-fat face speaks of a clear overabundance of the number of trips to the beautician.

Facts from the life of Princess Nesmeyana

• At the age of 20, due to the constant desire to lose weight, doctors diagnosed that the girl would never be able to give birth to children, but the singer gave birth to four children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and daughter Harper.

• The height of the socialite is 1.72, and the weight is only 42 kilograms.
• In the photo, the woman never smiles, because the smile of the star is very unnatural, it looks like an animal grin with small mouse teeth growing inward.

• Victoria Beckham has become a role model for the Duchess of Cambridge herself, Kate Middleton, and the peppercorn herself prefers D&G and clothing. A woman considers Audrey Hepburn and sometimes Kate Moss a role model.

• Vicki and her husband hold sacred a piece of paper on which David first wrote down his future wife's phone number.
• In the Madame Tussauds wax museum, a sculpture of the Beckham couple flaunts against the backdrop of the American flag next to wax copies of Madonna and Lady Gaga.
• In 2016, there were rumors that Victoria was divorcing her husband. The star couple has been bred more than once before. The latest information turned out to be a canard of spiteful critics. Family representatives strongly denied such gossip.

Since the spring of 1995, David finally makes his debut in English Premier League(later than in European competition!) and is firmly established in the first team of Manchester United. A new milestone in Beckham's career was invitations to the national team. On September 1, 1996, he first entered the field to defend the honor of the country in a duel with Moldova. In 1997, David became the Footballer of the Year in England. Two years later, the football player reaches absolute heights: together with Manchester United, David becomes the owner of the league title, the FA Cup, the Champions League Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. In the same year, Beckham's personal life also changed dramatically: he married one of the vocalists of the pop group Spice Girls, Victoria Adams.

1998-2003

The 1998 World Cup in France left a double impression on David Beckham, and it seemed that this moment would be a turning point in his career. After missing out on the team's first two matches, David scored a stunning free-kick against Colombia and became a national hero in England. But already in the next match, it was a quarter-final against Argentina, David, according to many, became the culprit of all the team's troubles after being sent off for a dubious foul against Diego Simeone. By the way, this was just Beckham's first red card in his entire career. Football Experts believed that David's problems at the World Championships could lead to his departure from professional football, but Beckham's subsequent performance proved them all wrong. Perhaps David, after the 1998 World Cup, was helped by the fact that in the very first round of the new 2000/01 Premier League season, he scored his signature goal against Leicester City, which allowed United to avoid defeat.

In March 1999, David becomes a father, his son is named Brooklyn and David's boots show his name after the end of the best season for United and David himself, in which they made a triple, winning the league title, FA Cup and European Cup.

The 1999/00 season was also a good one for David, despite constant jab from the press about his new haircut and discussions with Alex Ferguson about a pay raise. This year, United again became champions, David became the second best player in both Europe and the world, in both cases he was surpassed by Rivaldo. David was also second in the BBC Sports Sportsman of the Year competition, where he lost only to world boxing champion Lennox Lewis.

David's best performances of the 2000/01 season came with international caps, although he again won the Premier League with Manchester, scoring in three consecutive games at the start of the year.

David captained the team in a friendly match against Italy, retained the captaincy in the match with Spain, and then in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers with Albania and Finland, the latter he scored very important goal at Anfield Road in Liverpool. He distinguished himself at home, on " Old Trafford”, when he scored the most decisive goal for the national team against Sat. Greece in October 2001, which allowed the England team to keep their first place and go to Japan and Korea. But a month before the start of the World Cup, in a match against Deportivo, who played very "dirty" in both meetings, the Argentine Ducher at Old Trafford breaks left leg Beckham, making an unreasonably hard tackle. The whole nation, fans of Beckham and the England team around the world were waiting for David to return to duty before the start of the world championship. And he recovered, although, as the doctors claimed, not completely, and helped the team first to play a 1-1 draw with a very strong Swedish team, then scored a penalty against the Argentina team, which was considered one of the main favorites of the championship. A draw in the last match with Nigeria 0-0 took the national team to the next round, where the British, led by Beckham, who made two assists, defeated the Danes 3-0 and got into the quarter-finals against Brazil. Unfortunately, they did not manage to go further, but the players returned to their homeland as heroes.

"Real Madrid"

Luck smiled, however, Beckham not always. In 2003, he was forced to leave both the national team and his homeland - England. It happened because of a quarrel with the Manchester United manager. From this time begins a new milestone in the life of David Beckham. He goes into spanish club"Real Madrid" and moves to this country. The transition cost was $35 million.

It took the footballer quite a bit of time to adapt to the new team. In the Spanish Championship, Beckham scored his debut goal for Real Madrid in the third minute of the first match. However, in general, the club's game was unstable. Coaches changed, victories were replaced by defeats. As a result, Fabio Capello became the head coach of the team, with whom Beckham could not find a common language. The bench has become the usual place of yesterday's champion, and Beckham again went to look for a new home. Outraged by the attitude of the coach to Beckham, the team rebelled. The champion was demanded to return to the field. And thanks to this, Beckham's last match, played in this club, brought Spain gold medal. Now he was persuaded to stay, but he did not change his decision to leave.

"Los Angeles Galaxy"

The arrival of David Beckham in the United States provoked an unprecedented increase in interest in football from local fans, which immediately resulted in a sharp increase in the number of season tickets sold for the 2008 season. The American media launched an unprecedented advertising campaign, aimed at promoting the brand of a football player and at the same time popularizing football in general. Introduced on the occasion of the transfer of the midfielder to the Los Angeles Galaxy, the so-called. The “Beckham rule”, which allows up to two players to be taken out of the salary cap established in the MLS, contributed to a qualitative breakthrough in the development of American football and increased interest in it in the world. The contract with the new club came into effect on 11 July 2007; On July 13, in the presence of more than 5,000 fans and about 700 accredited journalists, Beckham was officially introduced as an LA Galaxy player. On July 21, Beckham made his debut for the team in a friendly game against London Chelsea (1: 0), broadcast on live the main ESPN channel and brought together in the stands "Home Deep Center" among other celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alicia Silverstone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Despite the presence of eminent footballers of the London club in the game, the main attention of the American television people was focused on David Beckham, who sat on the bench until the 78th minute and was injured shortly after entering the field. Missing four Galaxy matches due to health reasons, Beckham, however, was at the team's disposal throughout the entire recovery period, being present during matches on the bench in street clothes.

On August 29, in the Super League final against the Mexican Pachuca, Beckham injured his right knee and left the field ahead of schedule; having equalized the score in the 93rd minute, the Americans turned the game into a penalty shoot-out, in which they eventually lost. The examination showed that David had damaged the medial collateral ligament, and the recovery process will take at least six weeks. On October 21, Beckham returned to compete in a playoff clinching game against the Chicago Fire in which Los Angeles were defeated, finishing the season in 5th place in Western Conference and 11th in the aggregate standings of the MLS regular season. For half the season in the American club, even more shortened by injuries, Beckham took part in 8 matches (5 in the league), scored 1 goal and gave three assists (two in the league).

Beckham spent January and part of February 2008 in London, keeping fit in training with Arsenal and preparing to take part in friendly matches of the national team, which at that time was headed by an old acquaintance of the Englishman Fabio Capello, and then returned to Los Angeles for direct pre-season training. On April 3, he opened the scoring for Galaxy in the MLS, hitting the San Jose Earthquakes in the 9th minute of the match. On May 24, in the 4th minute of a game against the Kansas City Wizards, Beckham repeated his own achievement of 12 years ago, scoring a goal from his own half of the field, in this case from a distance of 70 yards. In general, the 2008 season was even more unfortunate for Galaxy than the 2007 season: this time the club finished the season in 6th place in the Conference and 13th in the overall standings, again missing the playoffs. Nevertheless, 2008 can be added to the player's asset: he returned to the England team and played several successful matches in its composition, which earned the trust of the head coach and even interest from European clubs.

At the end of 2008, Beckham decided to return to Europe as an active player - first of all, to maintain his form and status as a player in the main team. October 30, 2008 football club AC Milan have announced that David Beckham is on loan for January 7, 2009. last game the player played for Galaxy on December 1, 2012.

They sold the exclusive rights to report from their wedding to the UK publication OK for $1.5 million. So everyone was satisfied with the past festival. After the wedding, the Beckhams lived in England, then in Spain, and now in America. Most of these transfers are related to sports career husband.

In 2012, the Beckhams once again confirmed their place in the pantheon of English glory. David took part in the opening of the Olympics, carrying a torch across the Thames, and Victoria, as part of the Spice Girls, performed at the closing: for the sake of this occasion, the group reunited in full force for one day and performed two of their main hits. Actually, it is largely thanks to David, his authority and efforts that the International Olympic Committee chose London to host the Summer Games.

The very next year, Beckham officially announced the end of professional career. His house is a full bowl, his family is an ideal. The fortune is estimated at more than half a billion pounds. There is nothing more to wish for.

• Beckham's horse long shots. He scored most of his goals from free kicks. They say that before the game with the Beckham team, the coaches warn their defenders not to break the rules near their penalty area, because David's kick from 20-25 meters can be equated to a penalty.
• The name Seven David and Victoria gave their daughter in honor of Beckham's number, under which he performed in different clubs. This is his signature number "7".
• In 2003, Queen Elizabeth II made Beckham an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. This order, as you know, is awarded by the Queen for personal merit. Beckham received it "for defending the interests of the country in the international sports arena."
• David Beckham is a famous philanthropist. For example, in 2013, having signed a five-month contract with Saint-Germain, he immediately agreed that he would transfer his entire salary to a children's charity.

The career of this amazing woman began in the 90s in the group Spice Girls.

The famous British magazine Top of the Pops called it Posh Spice - Posh Spice.

In those years, the girl looked very bright, often sacrificing comfort for the sake of beauty. She wore short leather dresses, furs and showy heels. The figure of the singer allowed it: Victoria Beckham in her youth she had graceful forms and small beautiful breasts.

I have nothing against people who have done anything to the face. I think if it makes someone feel good, that's great.

Victoria Beckham before and after plastic surgery

In 1999, the girl married a football player DavidBeckham.

After the birth of her first child, Vicki faced rejection of her own changed body and thought about breast augmentation.

But acquaintance with plastic surgery turned out to be not the most successful: the implants stood out noticeably on a fragile figure after losing weight and due to the lack of subcutaneous fat heavily contoured. At the same time, the "peppercorn" denied mammoplasty, referring to underwear with a push-up effect.

In the mid-2000s, the singer changed high-profile round implants to anatomical ones, and in 2010, after the fourth birth, she openly admitted that she had removed the endoprostheses and settled on natural forms. In 2014, there were rumors that Vicki again installed silicone implants, but the star herself did not confirm the information.

Experts believe that the style icon resorted to rhinoplasty.

Photos of Victoria Beckham before and after plastic surgery show that the tip of the nose has become narrower and more elegant. Vicki did not set the plastic surgeon the task of globally changing the profile, and he only slightly changed the supratip fracture and the shape of the tip.

The work of the doctor deserves applause - only the differences in the early and late pictures testify to the intervention.

It is a mistake to say that the famous sunken cheekbones of Victoria Beckham are the result of the removal of Bish's lumps. At a certain stage in her career, Vicki lost a lot of weight and lost her girlish roundness of her cheeks.

Acquired as a result of the most severe diets, the forms of a famous designer are called by specialists in proper nutrition many questions, but Vicki continues to monitor weight.

A pointed chin may well be the result of total weight loss. But there is another opinion: Victoria Beckham did a chin correction with an implant, and the procedure stretched her face. Like it or not, only the ex-pepper is known.

Experts believe that over the years, Vicki has corrected the volume of her lips several times with the help of hyaluronic acid. Since the star knows the measure, the lips look very natural.

The good results of Victoria Beckham's plastic surgery are largely due to the moderation of requests and an innate sense of beauty. The designer very faithfully adheres to the principle: the best is the enemy of the good, and Victoria's appearance only confirms this. Victoria Beckham now is not the same girl in mini-dresses of acid shades. Today, she is a smartly dressed, trend-setting businesswoman.
