#SHOWBIZ: Victoria Beckham subject of new Netflix documentary

KUALA LUMPUR: Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, the wife of iconic English footballer David Beckham, will soon be the subject of her very own Netflix documentary.

AsiaOne reported yesterday that the 50-year-old singer — who has been married to Beckham, 49, since 1999 — rose to fame as a member of the Spice Girls in the late 1990s but has since made waves in fashion design.

After appearing in the Emmy Award-nominated sports documentary Beckham alongside her husband, Victoria will see her achievements highlighted in the series commissioned by the streaming service.

A statement from Netflix said: "Through an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Victoria's business, access to Victoria, her family, those closest to her and her fashion journey and including never-before-seen footage, the series will tell the story of Victoria's reinvention as a creative director of her own brand."

The upcoming series will show Victoria — who has four children with David — "juggling" her life as a mother and businesswoman.

"Following husband David Beckham's documentary series chronicling his rise to fame as a successful football player and pop culture icon, the upcoming documentary promises to get up, close and personal with Victoria as she juggles her business and family life."

In 1994, Victoria attended an open audition for a band called Touch and was eventually selected alongside Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown and Emma Bunton, and they later became known as the Spice Girls.

The band became the best-selling girl group of all time with hits like Wannabe and Viva Forever. Victoria — who was known as Posh Spice — also had a solo pop career.

Her eponymous clothing label was launched in September 2008 and she created Victoria Beckham Beauty in 2018, shortly after she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire for her services to fashion.
