Long before the world got to know Victoria Beckham the clothing designer and fashion icon, she was Posh Spice of the Spice Girls. At the time, the Spice Girls were popular the world over, and Posh played up her role as the, well, “posh” one of the group. But the funny thing about being posh in the 1990s and early 2000s is that it’s a far cry from what one might consider timeless sophistication today. In fact, looking back at Beckham’s style evolution, there have been several times where she just completely missed the mark.
Beckham has no shame in those moments, though, she says. “People always say, ‘Do you cringe? And I say, Not at all.’ Everybody changes,” Beckham told Time in 2009 about her fearless take on fashion. “I love fashion, and I love changing my style, my hair, my makeup, and everything I’ve done in the past has made me what I am now. Not everyone is going to like what I do, but I look back at everything, and it makes me smile.”
Still, while Beckham might not have any fashion regrets, that doesn’t mean her outfit choices were always on point. We’re taking a look at five times her looks just didn’t work.
