Victoria Beckham once revealed that she ‘makes the best’ of what she has and has grown more ‘comfortable’ in her own skin
Victoria Beckham once revealed she smiles at her “imperfections and flaws” after taking a “long, long time” to fully accept herself.
Feeling comfortable in your own skin is something that we all strive for, but the journey to self-acceptance can sometimes be more challenging than we might imagine. There’s so much pressure to conform to society’s beauty standards and anti-ageing rhetoric seems to be everywhere we go. Reaching a point where the unrealistic expectations of perfection no longer stand is the dream and Victoria Beckham previously revealed that getting older has helped her to be accepting of who she is and what she looks like.
Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar back in 2020, the fashion designer and former Spice Girl rejected the idea that she considers herself “beautiful”. Instead spoke of how she smiles at what she perceives as her “imperfections” and is proud of what they represent.
“Do I think of myself as beautiful?” Victoria wondered. “No, absolutely not. But I make the best of what I have. I see my imperfections and flaws and I smile: it’s who I am and I’m not going to try to change that. It’s taken me a long, long time to recognise that by 45 years old, actually I’m all right. I work hard, I look OK, I’ve got four children that I’m incredibly proud of, a wonderful husband and I feel content.”
