Biography of Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham (Adams) was born on April 17, 1974 in one of the districts of Essex County. She grew up in a wealthy family of Anthony and Jacqueline Adams, who had nothing to do with show business. The head of the family worked as an electronic engineer. In addition to Victoria, her parents had a son, Christian, and a daughter, Louise.
Childhood and youth
In childhood, Victoria was embarrassed by the fact that her family lived in prosperity. For this reason, she even asked her dad not to drop her off outside the school from his posh Rolls Royce.
According to the singer herself, as a child she was a real outcast, as a result of which she was constantly intimidated and insulted by her peers. Moreover, dirty objects lying in puddles were repeatedly thrown into it.
Victoria also admitted that she had absolutely no friends with whom she could talk heart to heart. At the age of 17, the girl became a college student where she studied dance. During this period of her biography, she participated in the group "Persuasion", striving to become a famous artist.
In 1993, Victoria came across an advertisement in the newspaper, which said about the recruitment of young girls in a female musical group. The applicants were required to have good vocal skills, plasticity, the ability to dance and be confident on stage. It was from that moment that her creative biography began.
Career and creativity
In the spring of 1994, Victoria Beckham successfully passed the casting and became one of the members of the newly formed pop group "Spice Girls", which will soon gain worldwide fame.
An interesting fact is that the band was originally called "Touch". No less interesting is the fact that each of the group members had their own nickname. Victoria fans nicknamed "Posh Spice" - "Posh Spice". This was due to the fact that she dressed in short black dresses and wore high-heeled shoes.
The Spice Girls' first hit, Wannabe, took the lead in many countries. As a result, he set a rotation record on radio stations: in the first week, the song was played over 500 times.
Three more songs from the first album: “Say You’ll Be There”, “2 Become 1” and “Who Do You Think You Are”, also held the top lines of the American charts for some time. Over time, the musicians presented new hits, including "Spice Up Your Life" and "Viva Forever", which also had great success.
For 4 years of its existence (1996-2000) the group recorded 3 records, after which they actually broke up. Since the name of Victoria Beckham was heard by many, she decided to start performing solo.
The singer's debut single was "Out of Your Mind". It is curious that this particular song will be the most successful in her creative biography. Also, some other Beckham compositions enjoyed some popularity, including "Not Such An Innocent Girl" and "A Mind of Its Own".
Later, Victoria Beckham decided to leave the stage due to her pregnancy. Leaving her solo career, she took up design activities, becoming a real style icon.
With a lot of effort, the girl introduced the Victoria Beckham brand, under which lines of clothing, bags and sunglasses began to be produced. Soon, she launched her own line of perfumes under the Intimately Beckham brand.
Every year, her success in the fashion industry has grown steadily. Beckham has developed her own car model - "Evoque Victoria Beckham Special Edition". Together with her husband, David Beckham, Victoria announced the creation of the dVb perfume. An interesting fact is that in 2007 alone, perfumes under this brand were sold for $ 100 million.
At the same time, the designer developed a line of cosmetics for the Japanese market under the V Sculpt. In 2009, Victoria presented her collection of dresses in the amount of 10 units.

Personal life
The only man in Victoria was and remains the legendary ex-footballer David Beckham, who managed to play in such clubs as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Milan, PSG and Los Angeles Galaxy.
Personally, the singer and the athlete met after a charity football match, to which Melanie Chisholm brought Victoria. Since that time, the couple have never parted. Young people got married in 1999.
It is curious that during the wedding, the newlyweds sat on gilded thrones. In this marriage, the couple had one girl Harper Seven and 3 boys: Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James and Cruz David. The press has repeatedly reported that David Beckham cheated on his wife with different girls.
However, Victoria always calmly reacted to such "sensations", declaring that she believed in her husband. Today, there are still many rumors that the Beckhams are allegedly getting divorced, but the spouses, as before, are happy to be together.
