Victoria Beckham

Victoria Adams was born on April 17, 1974 in Hertfordshire, England and raised along with her younger sister Louise and brother Christian. Her father, Anthony William Adams was an electronic engineer and mother, Jaqueline Doreen Adams, a former insurance clerk and hairdresser who later developed an electronics wholesale business, which helped Victoria and her siblings with a comfortable upbringing. Victoria’s dream was to be a dancer and singer and she worked towards it at Jason Theatre School and in 1991, she entered Laine Theatre Arts to study dance and modelling. She joined the famous girl band Spice Girls in 1994 who’s first single “Wannabe” became a hit in more than 30 countries. She met David Beckham at a charity football match in 1997 and hit it off instantly which led to their marriage in 1999 at Luttrellstown Castle, Ireland. After splitting from the band, Beckham explored her love for fashion and created her line of denims called VB Rocks for the Rock & Republic, which was followed by a launch of sunglasses called dVB Eyewear. She expanded her clothing line to spring dresses and collection of fragrances in 2008 as she wanted to force all her focus on fashion. She has emerged as one of the most unexpected fashion contenders by being the face of Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani underwear line, Marc Jacobs and walking for Roberto Cavalli. She is also the founder of famous lingerie wear Victoria’s Secret and models like Lily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr are some of the staple models who represent the brand. Victoria Beckham, mother of five, has also become of the biggest fashion icons with her oversized sunglasses and dressed to kill ensembles. She pulls off bandage dresses, A-line silhouettes, structured jackets and slouchy shirts and manages to look gorgeous even while she walks with her kids! And with David, by her side at an event just adds the guau factor, which nobody seems to shake off.
