The Biography Of Victoria Beckham

Victoria Caroline Beckham was born on 17 April 1974, she’s an English businesswoman, fashion designer and singer. Victoria Beckham, what comes first to my mind when I hear that name is “perfect”. I think Victoria is the right example of a “perfect woman”. Why?  You will now later

Early Life

Beckham was born at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex, United Kingdom, and raised in Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire. She is the eldest of three children of Jacqueline Doreen (née Cannon), a former insurance clerk and hairdresser, and Anthony William Adams, who worked as an electronics engineer.  Raised in an affluent family, Beckham started studying ballet at a young age. 

After watching the musical film Fame in 1980, she decided to pursue a musical career. Beckham attended St. Mary's High School in Cheshunt, where she was embarrassed by her family's wealth and often begged her father not to drop her off outside the school in their Rolls Royce. Eventually, she became a member of a band called Persuasion.

 In 1991, Beckham entered Laine Theatre Arts in Epsom, Surrey and studied dance and modelling. She pursued her interest in dance at the Laine Arts Theatre College in Surrey when she was 17. After three years there, Beckham moved to London to try to make it as a dancer. Her lucky break came when she answered a casting call seeking energetic and hard-working female performers in 1993. Out of the 400 women who applied, Beckham was chosen to become part of a new all-female pop music group. 

 How her career begun ?

She started her career with a girl group called “Spice Girls” that was formed in 1994. In the group each member had their own stage name, Victoria’s is “Posh Spice”. They were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single "Wannabe" in 1996, which was a super big hit even until now. And that established their global success. Their debut album “Spice” sold more than 31 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in history. Their follow-up album, “Spiceworld” sold over 20 million copies worldwide. The Spice Girls have sold 85 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling female group of all time, one of the best-selling pop groups of all time, and the biggest British pop success since The Beatles. 

Among the highest profile acts in 1990s popular culture, Time called them "arguably the most recognizable face" of Cool Britannia, the mid-1990s celebration of youth culture in the UK. And their debut song ”Wannabe” called the catchiest song of all time. Why? I think there’s no explanation for that, just hear it by yourself and you’ll know why.

On December 2000, the group unofficially announced that they were beginning an indefinite hiatus and would be concentrating on their solo careers in regards to their foreseeable future, although they pointed out that the group was not splitting. And they approved that, they returned and made a comeback concerts.

 Comeback

 On 28 June 2007, the group held a press conference at The O2 Arena revealing their intention to reunite. The plan to re-form had long been speculated by the media, but the group finally confirmed their intention to embark upon a worldwide concert tour, starting in Vancouver on 2 December 2007. Four years later, in June 2012, the group reunited for the first time in four years for the press conference in London to promote the launch of Viva Forever!. The press conference was held at St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, the location where the group filmed the music video for "Wannabe", sixteen years earlier, to the day. In August 2012, after much speculation and anticipation from the press and the public, the group performed a medley of "Wannabe" and "Spice Up Your Life"
 at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony.

 In December 2012, the group reunited once again for the premiere of Viva Forever! at the West End's Piccadilly Theatre. In addition to the promotion of the musical, the group appeared in the documentary, Spice Girls' Story: Viva Forever! which aired on 24 December 2012 on ITV1.

The Second Reunion

On 8 July 2016, Brown, Bunton, and Halliwell released a video celebrating the 20th anniversary of their first single "Wannabe", alongside a website under the name "The Spice Girls - GEM" and teased news from them as a three-piece. On 5 November 2018, Brown, Bunton, Chisholm and Halliwell announced a tour for 2019. But, unfortunately Beckham declined to join due to commitments regarding her fashion business.

From a singer to a bussines woman 

In fashion Beckham is known for her legend smokey eyes and her intense contour. It was such a trend make her as a perfect faceshape. And that influence many people to have such a sharp face like her. Beckham's eponymous label was launched in September 2008 in a low-key presentation.  By 2011, it had grown into a fixture of New York Fashion Week and a lower-priced Victoria by Victoria Beckham label was introduced. In the first quarter of 2011-12, it was predicted to generate annual
 sales of more than £60 million. Known initially for its dresses, the range has expanded into separates and luxury handbags selling at up to £18,000. Alongside the main fashion line and diffusion range, the Victoria Beckham brand still includes separate denim, eyeware and fragrance lines.^[6] In November 2011, Victoria Beckham won Designer Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards. In September 2012, Victoria Beckham was the most talked about designer on Twitter during New York Fashion Week, also acquiring 57,000 new followers during the shows according to research by The Whispr Group. Writing in The Independent in.

One of the reasons why I love her is because she does care about people and it shows on her fashion bussines career too. When Donald Tump elected as the US president, there were many problems and contras, and it effected his wife Melania Trump. As a first lady of course she needs support for her fashion, and not much fashion line wanted to cooperate with her, but not with Victoria Beckham and her line, she worked professional and said that she didn’t care about the problems, all she knew is she has client and she needs to serve her well. Also in 2017, Beckham's new collection for Target is including a wide range of sizes from XS to 3X for women. Beckham is also offering a new line for children's wear.

Her personal life

As we all already know, Victoria got her “ Beckham “ from her husband David Beckham. David Robert Joseph Beckham was a professional football player, who was played in big club such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Milan. Now he’s the president of Inter Miami CF. Victoria’s first meet with David was on 1997 at a charity football match. David states that he was a big fan of Victoria, I mean who doesn’t like her? David already put his eyes on Victoria since the first sight. But David was too shy to approach Victoria back then, it is because Victoria was already a big singer, but David wasn’t really popular and success. But he took courage to approach her and a year later, exactly on January 25 1998, David got down on his knee and popped the question.

On March 1999, nation was delighted by the announcement of the birth of their first child, Brooklyn Beckham. In 2002, another angel come to their family, Victoria gave birth of their second son, Romeo Beckham.

In 2004, the seemingly perfect couple's marriage was rocked by sensational claims that the footballer had been conducting an affair with his Madrid-based assistant Rebecca Loos. After a media frenzy surrounding what experts called the biggest story since the death of Princess Diana, David issued a statement slamming the allegations as "ludicrous".Victoria stood by her man. "I'm not going to lie: it was a really tough time. It was hard for our entire families. But I realised a lot of people have a price," she later said of the scandal. They put all the drama behind them and in February the following year they welcomed third son, Cruz Beckham. "He's gorgeous, healthy and his mum is very good so we're a very happy family. He's got Victoria's lips and nose," said proud dad David. The family were overjoyed in July 2011 when Victoria welcomed Harper Seven, the first little girl to be born into the Beckham clan and it completed their family. "Baby Harper is the most beautiful baby girl I have ever seen," the former Spice Girl tweeted. "I have fallen in love all over again. We feel so blessed and the boys love their baby sister so much."

In January 2019, David and Victoria marked 21 years since they became engaged. The couple both shared sweet photos from their engagement announcement on social media, with Victoria admitting: "Can’t believe this was 21 years ago!!!"

Following almost 20 years of marriage in the public eye, Victoria admitted that the constant speculation about their relationship was frustrating. Speaking to The Guardian, she said: "It can get quite frustrating. But I leave it to my PR team. I don’t get involved." Now look at their happy and family, their kids got good genes tho, they're hot!

Why is she my hero ?

I think that's already conclude why i choose her as a role model/hero for me. She's a strong woman, she's family caring and has great attitude. I have no idea how can she bear all the scandals that happen to her, especially when David cheated. When her brands was underestimate at first but become succesfull at the end, it's not an easy thing to stay strong at that condition when people judging you. But she know exactly how to deal with problems and act wisely. Growing up, looking at her life, she's my guidance when it comes to character and beauty, she's so stylist, she has a really great fashion sense. Why i said she does care about people, it is because she does a lot of charity, participate in UNICEF and she even become the UNAIDS International Goodwill Ambassador. I want to be like her, having a great career and perfect family.
