Victoria Beckham's Netflix Documentary Reveals Fashion Journey and Personal Struggles
Content note: This article contains discussions of eating disorders
When Victoria Beckham first stepped into Netflix's spotlight during 2023's "Beckham" docuseries, viewers discovered her deadpan humor and surprising vulnerability. Now, her own three-part documentary reveals what happens when the pop megastar becomes CEO - complete with boardroom battles, personal sacrifices, and plenty of self-deprecating humor.
From Backstage to Runway
The series documents Beckham's unlikely transformation from a girl group member known for her stoic "Posh Spice" reputation to launching a luxury fashion house competing with European heritage brands. Behind-the-scenes moments reveal:
- Her meticulous preparation for 2025 Paris Fashion Week
- The creation process of her flagship London store
- Playful home videos debunking the "never smiles" myth
At the height of the Spice Girls' fame, few could have predicted Beckham would become the only member to build a nine-figure fashion empire. "People thought it was a celebrity vanity project," she reflects during a design session. "I had to earn respect stitch by stitch."
Personal Struggles and Public Pressure
The documentary doesn't shy from difficult moments. In one scene, Beckham flips through 1990s tabloids mocking her body before revealing her decades-long struggle with disordered eating. "When everyone's calling you fat, then too thin... you stop trusting your own eyes," she tells the camera.
Her marriage also comes under the lens, particularly during David Beckham's controversial move to Real Madrid. "We were new parents with no support system," Victoria explains. "I was alone rebuilding my career while he handled football scandals."
The Modern Marilyn Moment
The series' most viral scene recreates Beckham driving her children to school in a Rolls Royce while blasting Marilyn Monroe's "I Wanna Be Loved By You" - a direct callback to the earlier Beckham documentary moment that became a social media sensation. "Maybe now they'll see me as human," she jokes.
Legacy Beyond the Label
Now with 42 global stores and an upcoming eyewear line, Beckham reflects on balancing creative control with commercial demands. "Fashion changes faster than music," she says while reviewing designs. "Every six months you're only as good as your last collection."
The documentary ends with Beckham teaching her teenage daughter Harper pattern cutting techniques - suggesting the fashion empire might become a family affair.
