Glorious Victoria Beckham, mother of three young boys (Brooklyn, 9; Romeo, 6; and Cruz, 3) and the wife of sports icon David Beckham graces the cover of Bazaar. In her candid article she shares a glimpse of what it’s like to walk in her “nine inch heels.”
On her image: “I go into hair and makeup, and I turn into ‘Victoria Beckham.’ I’ll try on all my dresses, and I’ll pick out a handbag, and I’ll put on the shades. I instantly turn into this person, and it sort of feels like a character. And there are so many pictures of it. But it’s a true character because it’s still me.
Victoria does let herself go occasionally. “I run around the house in a tracksuit sometimes!” she protests. What sort of tracksuit? “A fabulous one.” When out and about, she always pulls a look together. “If I go to the supermarket looking like shit, that affects my work. I am selling an image. Plus, I have fun with it.”
On a daughter one day: “I’m such a girl’s girl,” Victoria says. “I walk into my closet and go, ‘Crikey!’ To one day hand that down to another girl …” But no, she is not pregnant. “You get a little water retention; it’s not news. Me, Katie, Eva, and Kate always joke about how one of us is allegedly pregnant, but no, we’re just a little bloated today! None of us is pregnant.”
Love the story that Victoria shares about how David surprised her with a trip to England to renew their wedding vows. The two boarded a private plane filled with flowers. “David was wearing a tracksuit, but then he went to the bathroom and came out in a tuxedo. I was like, ‘Um, I should have made more of an effort.’ But then he gave me this gorgeous white Cavalli dress, with matching shoes and two different options of handbags.” They arrived at their home in Hertfordshire, where they were met by their families and remarried “by the same vicar who first married us.” Back to the jet, “where we had Nobu onboard. Then we flew to Paris, where we stayed at the Coco Chanel Suite at the Ritz.” Still in the Cavalli? Victoria smiles girlishly. “Oh, no, David gave me another dress. An Alaïa.”
