Victoria Beckham always looks great, impeccable, as if she has just stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine. Much to the bewilderment of fashion critics though, Victoria sticks to the same high-end style when she’s supposed to be more casual, like when she’s
visiting a theme park with her children, and the last thing she should be wearing is five-inch Louboutin shoes she can hardly walk in, it has been said. What is she trying to hide?, Amy Jenkins of the Daily Mail asks.
That much attention to always looking perfect on the outside can only mean something is terribly wrong on the inside, Ms. Jenkins believes. Victoria should be spending time with her children and enjoying their company as much as possible and not waste precious moments getting ready to go out – because, obviously, looking
that great does require a lot of preparation time.
Her outfits when out with her kids are unfortunate at best, Ms. Jenkins adds, denoting a lack of confidence and an extremely low self-esteem in the woman who likes to consider herself the perfect everything, from fashion designer to wife and mother.
Sadly, it is being underlined, for her three boys, taking a regular walk with their mom is like having to walk side by side with a perfectly made wax figure. If it’s not the media attention that is marring their childhood, having no mother to chase around or play ball with or get on fun rides will certainly do it for them, the same source points out. Add to that the time Victoria is not spending at home with them, because she has to get ready to get out, and it’s very likely that her boys rarely get to pass any quality mom-child minutes with Posh.
“Victoria Beckham is 34 and a mother. Isn’t it a little undignified to be so thoroughly and absurdly concerned with your appearance at her age – even if you are a celebrity and even if you are launching yourself as a fledgling fashion designer? Think of all the stylish women who wear remarkable clothes and still look as if they have a brain. Think Vivienne Westwood, think Annie Lennox and Tilda Swinton. There’s a difference between dressing glamorously as a celebration of beauty and dressing glamorously as an addictive pursuit... a defense mechanism, a way of saying: ‘See how superior I am?’” Ms. Jenkins shares, pinpointing that the last thing Posh manages to do with her outfits is to show that she is any better than the rest of the mothers out there.
“With Victoria Beckham, the high art of fashion is in danger of becoming a circus act. Like when she wears the shoes a size too big (for comfort, apparently) so she looks like a little girl in something she borrowed from her mother’s wardrobe. […] To me, VB has always seemed to hail from another planet. Her over-sized, bug-eye sunglasses make her head look huge atop a stick-insect figure. In many ways, she has the appearance of a classic alien. If you happened to bump into her in a theme park – especially in LA – you might be forgiven for thinking that you’d wandered on to a film set.” Ms. Jenkins concludes by saying.
