Victoria Beckham 'awkward' admission as 'intimate' details shared in Netflix documentary

Fans of Victoria Beckham have something exciting to look forward to as a Netflix documentary about her journey to stardom premieres today (Wednesday, October 8). This three-part series is produced by the team behind the Emmy-winning Beckham and the acclaimed director of Becoming, the Michelle Obama documentary. Netflix announced the news via a post on X, with the streaming platform's official synopsis stating: "Step into Victoria Beckham's London atelier, as the Spice Girl -turned-powerhouse designer opens up about her life while preparing for Paris Fashion Week ." The series provides an insight into the world of the 51-year-old singer turned fashion mogul and spouse of renowned English ex-footballer David Beckham . Fans responded with enthusiasm to Netflix's announcement on X . One simply declared: "Can't wait." Another commented: "Still my fav Spice girl. Victoria's 2000's doc-u series were always funny. I'm really excited to watch this." Social media agency Truffle Social remarked: "Oh yes! Our fave, we're so ready for this!" A devoted admirer shared: "I cannot wait for this. I find @victoriabeckham to be a perfect example of true grit and hard work. "She wasn't the best singer, but damn, she worked hard, loves her family, and has a good, clean living life. She is beautiful, funny and has struck gold in life." Speaking in the trailer for the documentary, Victoria reveals sides of herself that fans haven't witnessed before as she said: "That uncool kid at school that was awkward, that was me. "But I desperately wanted to be liked [and] have a sense of worth." The style icon continues to discuss how fashion served as a "creative outlet" for her but she wasn't taken seriously initially, with people viewing her as just a pop star wed to a footballer. Featuring a mixture of personal archive footage, behind-the-scenes moments, and frank interviews, Victoria, from Harlow, Essex hopes to provide a more intimate portrayal of the celebrity who has spent decades in the public eye. She shot to stardom in the 1990s as part of the legendary girl group, the Spice Girls, where she was dubbed 'Posh Spice' but the band disbanded in 2001. Victoria moved into fashion and established her debut label in 2008 before broadening her empire to include luxury accessories, handbags, sunglasses, and a thriving beauty line, Victoria Beckham Beauty. The ex-singer later earned worldwide acclaim as a respected and influential force in the fashion world. She is also widely recognised for her marriage to David Beckham, whom she married in 1999, and shares four children with, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. However, speculation of a rift has been circulating for months after Victoria and David's eldest son, Brooklyn, is thought to have 'quit' the Beckham family.
