David Beckham just spilled some tea about his wife Victoria’s new Netflix docuseries—and let me tell you, it’s shaping up to be posh-tacular.
Yes, that’s right! Victoria Beckham—former Spice Girl, current queen of fashion, and professional husband-boss—is about to unleash her fabulousness on Netflix, all courtesy of David’s very own production company, Studio 99 (because why let anyone else handle it when you’ve got the resources and a killer name for a production company, am I right?).
So, what’s the scoop? Netflix, with all the enthusiasm of someone announcing a new Taylor Swift album, tweeted that this series will show “Victoria’s reinvention as a Creative Director of her own brand.” Sounds fancy, right? Translation: It’s all about how she went from singing about “zig-a-zig-ah” to telling us all how to zig our outfits and zig our makeup with style and grace.
Now, here’s where things get interesting: while attending the 2024 Royal Television Society’s London Convention (fancy), David—looking dapper, as always—teased us about the docuseries. And by “teased,” I mean he confessed it had him sweating like a soccer player in extra time. “I can’t lie, it worried me,” he said. “It made me nervous, it made Victoria nervous.” Yep, even the Beckhams get the jitters. Imagine that: Victoria, who can wear heels higher than your Wi-Fi bill, feeling nervous about anything!
David reflected on his own Netflix experience, explaining how they opened the doors to their lives—but just a crack, like when someone rings the doorbell and you’re not expecting anyone. “People think they know everything about us, but they don’t. We don’t just leave the door open and let them rummage through the fridge,” he joked (well, I imagined him joking, but you get the vibe).
He then let us in on a secret—Victoria wasn’t exactly chomping at the bit to do this docuseries. Shocking, I know, because if anyone was born for the camera, it’s Posh Spice herself. But no, she was more “Hmm, do I really want to do this?” while David was like, “Do you know my wife? She’s an icon!” And not just any icon, a “strong, driven, passionate” one who transformed from pop star to fashion powerhouse. Seriously, it’s like watching someone go from karaoke queen to CEO of Style Town.
David continued the Victoria appreciation parade, saying she’s worked her Louboutins off for the last 17 or 18 years, building her brand from the ground up. And now, just like a fine wine or David’s hairstyle evolution, it’s getting better with time. “No one sees how much work she does,” he said. Apparently, Victoria is over everything—not just the clothes, but everything. If someone sneezes wrong in the office, you can bet Victoria’s there with a chic handkerchief and a note on the proper sneeze technique. She’s that dedicated.
But here’s the kicker: convincing Victoria to do the series was like trying to get a cat to take a bath. Tough. But Netflix, David, and probably some very persuasive people (and a few bottles of champagne) finally got her on board. David’s hyped, though, because “people are going to see her personality and work ethic.” Translation: Prepare for Posh to absolutely slay it, not just with her signature eye roll, but with the sheer magnitude of her hustle.
Victoria’s about to show us all how it’s done—Posh style. The rest of us can only hope to take notes while binge-watching with a glass of rosé and a well-coordinated outfit. Netflix, get ready. The fashion world may never be the same.
