They founded an electronics wholesale business which allowed a comfortable upbringing for Victoria, her sister, Louise,[1] and her brother, Christian Adams.[9] Beckham's great-great-great-grandfather was German artist and revolutionaryCarl Heinrich Pfänder and her great-great-great-granduncle wasMinnesota politicianWilliam Pfaender.[10][11]
After watching the musical filmFame in 1980, she decided to pursue a musical career.[1][12] Jacqueline and Anthony Adams enrolled her at Jason Theatre School.[1] In 1991, Beckham enteredLaine Theatre Arts inEpsom, Surrey and studied dance and modelling.[1][2] Beckham attendedSt. Mary's High School inCheshunt, where she was embarrassed by her family's wealth and often begged her father not to drop her off outside the school in theirRolls-Royce.[13] Eventually, she became a member of a band called Persuasion.[14]
Beckham auditioned for a March 1994 advertisement inThe Stage which required girls who were "street smart, extrovert[ed], ambitious and able to sing and dance".[7] In 1994, Beckham joined the all-female group, theSpice Girls. In the recordings before her marriage, she is credited with her maiden name as Victoria Adams. The group's first single was called "Wannabe" (1996), and she worked alongsideGeri Halliwell,Emma Bunton,Mel B andMelanie C. It went to number one in the United Kingdom and United States, and another 35 countries. It was followed by eight further number one singles from their albumsSpice,Spiceworld andForever.[2] Each member of the group received a nickname from the media and Beckham was named "Posh Spice".[15][16] The group isthe best-selling female group of all time, selling over 80 million records worldwide.[17][18] After the release of their third album,Forever, which charted at number two in the UK but was far less successful than their previous two albums, the Spice Girls stopped recording, concentrating on their solo careers in regards to their foreseeable future.[19]
2000–2002:Victoria Beckham
On 14 August 2000, Beckham released her first solo single, "Out of Your Mind" in collaboration withDane Bowers andTruesteppers.[7] The week of release coincided with the release of "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" bySpiller featuringSophie Ellis-Bextor, resulting in a chart battle dubbed 'Posh vs. Posher' by the tabloids.[20] Before the single's release, on 8 July 2000, Beckham made her public solo debut at London'sHyde Park at a concert to raise money for thePrince's Trust charity. She sang "Out of Your Mind" to a 100,000-strong audience.[21] Beckham then signed a recording contract with her group labelVirgin Records.[2] Her next single as a solo artist, "Not Such An Innocent Girl", was released on 17 September 2001.[22] Again, she faced competition in another hugely hyped chart battle, this time withKylie Minogue's single "Can't Get You Out of My Head".[23] Despite a huge promotional campaign, Beckham was outsold eight to one, and her single debuted at number 6.[24] Beckham'seponymous debut album, which was released on 1 October 2001, reached Number 10 in theUK album chart.[25] The album cost a reputed £5 million to produce and it sold a modest 50,000 copies.[26]
The second and final single to be released from the album was "A Mind of Its Own" on 11 February 2002. The single reached number 6 in the UK[27] and sold 56,500 copies.[28] Rumours soon spread that Beckham was to be dropped by her label for not charting in the Top Three. These were strongly denied at the time.[29] Beckham commented "You know what newspapers are like, they just like to put all the negative stuff in, but as far as I'm concerned and the record company is concerned it is all great."[29] A third single, "I Wish", was promoted but never materialised. The single version was a remix featuring Robbie Craig, and was performed on TV onFriday Night's All Wright.[30] Following the announcement of Beckham's second pregnancy, the single was shelved. Beckham was reportedly dropped by Virgin Records along with fellowSpice GirlsEmma Bunton andMelanie B,[31][32] but a statement from her publicist denied reports, stating: "No-one has been dropped. The Virgin deal has come to a natural end and both parties have decided not to continue."[31][33]

In the first quarter of 2011–12, it was predicted to generate annual sales of more than £60 million.[6][73] 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, eyewear and fragrance lines.[6] In November 2011, Victoria Beckham won Designer Brand of the Year at theBritish Fashion Awards.[4]
In September 2012, Victoria Beckham was the most talked about designer onTwitter duringNew York Fashion Week, also acquiring 57,000 new followers during the shows according to research by The Whispr Group.[74] Writing inThe Independent in February 2014, Alexander Fury described how Victoria Beckham had made the transition from novelty to respected designer, citing her recent guest editorship of FrenchVogue and forthcoming participation in a panel discussion with the dean ofParsons design school in New York. The article concluded that the brand's sales were down to the appeal of the designs themselves, not the celebrity association.[75]

In 2018 the label was losing £4,000 a day.[79] In November 2019, the BBC reported that "Victoria Beckham's fashion business has posted another annual loss as demand for the former Spice Girl's high end clothes "plateaued". Victoria Beckham Limited, which has not made a profit since it launched in 2008, reported a loss of £12.3m for 2018. Sales slipped 16% to £35m, amid weaker wholesale demand. Chairman Ralph Toledano said sales of clothing and accessories had levelled off after years of growth. "The performance was in line with expectations, so we were not surprised. Our goal is to reach profitability as soon as possible," he told trade journal Business of Fashion. "Mrs Beckham launched her label in 2008 with a collection of luxury dresses, and now sells fashion and accessories in more than 400 stores around the world."[80] In 2022, Beckham's fashion label was £54 million in debt.[81][82]

The documentary attracted a strong audience of 8.83 million,[93] coming top in its timeslot.[94] One critic described her as "so clearly level-headed, happy with her not inconsiderable lot and seemingly unfazed by the madly intrusive nature of her monumentally ridiculous fame".[95] The third,The Real Beckhams, aired on 24 December 2003 on ITV1 and focused on the Beckhams' move to Madrid from London after David Beckham was signed toReal Madrid. In those years, she suffered a jealousy attack and had a fight in a gym withAna Obregón because her husband David and Ana had been sending phone messages. It also featured Victoria Beckham re-launching her solo career and showed her mocking the tabloid stories she reads in the paper every day.

To document Victoria Beckham's preparations for her family's move to the US, she signed a deal withNBC for six episodes of a half-hour unscripted reality TV series.

It was heavily scrutinised by the American media and critics, with theNew York Post describing it as "an orgy of self-indulgence" and also describing Beckham as "vapid and condescending".[102] The programme was the third-most-watched programme in its time-slot and received viewing figures of 4.9 million in the US, beaten by a repeat ofWife Swap and two sitcoms. The programme aired in Britain on 17 July 2007 onITV with 3.84 million viewers tuning in.[103] The programme was produced by Simon Fuller who managed her and the Spice Girls on their come-back tour.[104]

She said it was thrilling to get the invitation, as her children were fans of the show.[109]

I was never into football."[135] Initially, they kept their relationship out of the public eye.[139] The couple announced their engagement in 1998 and were dubbed "Posh and Becks" by the media.[140]
On 4 July 1999, Victoria and David were married by the Bishop of Cork,Paul Colton, atLuttrellstown Castle, Ireland.[141] The wedding attracted much media coverage.[142] Beckham's teammate,Gary Neville, was the best man,[136] and the couple's four-month-old son Brooklyn was the ring bearer.[143] Most of the media were kept away from the ceremony as an exclusive deal withOK! magazine had been arranged, but photographs were released showing the Beckhams sitting on golden thrones.[144] Victoria wore a diamondcoronet created for her byjewellery designerSlim Barrett. A total of 437 staff were employed for the wedding reception, which was estimated to have cost £500,000 (US$823,650).[141]

Alleged kidnap and death threats

After a fire door was found to be lodged open, it was thought that there had been an assassin there, and Beckham later revealed that she was terrified by the experience.[155] In November 2002, five people were arrested after another plot for her kidnap was infiltrated by a tabloid newspaper.[156] All charges were dropped after a witness was deemed unreliable.[157]
