Victoria Beckham is set to open up on the ‘highs and lows’ of her life in a new Netflix series, which will see the fashion designer reflect on her time in the Spice Girls

Victoria Beckham is getting ready to share intimate details of her life in a new Netflix docu-series – after initially fearing no-one would want to watch it.

But the singer-turned-designer, 51, has a new found confidence since entering her 50s and is ready to unleash a new aspect of her personality previously unseen by many.

“Getting older is – actually, there’s a side of it that’s really great,” Victoria admits ahead of her new series premiering. “The filter comes off, and you give a s**t less. I’m really enjoying that.”

Hot on the heels of husband David Beckham’s 2023 three part feature with the streaming platform, Posh Spice has also let the camera follow her round and opened up about the highs – and lows – of her career.

The upcoming series, simply titled Victoria Beckham, will see the mum-of-four look back on her time with the Spice Girls, her marriage to football legend David and the battle to shake off the pop star tag in order to become a respected fashion designer.

But despite conquering the world of fashion and music, alongside being one half of the world’s most famous couples, Victoria initially didn’t fancy putting herself out there on the small screen.

“I genuinely couldn’t understand why anybody was that interested,” she tells ELLE, admitting David had to convince her to sign the deal. “I love what I do, but I was a bit shocked,” she says. “But throughout the process, I’ve really enjoyed it. I love the fact that I have an opportunity to shine a light on our industry – how serious an industry it is.”

Victoria, who is currently locked in a bitter family feud with her eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, says the Netflix series allows to celebrate her past music career without it stepping her back in the fashion world.

“I was in the Spice Girls for four years, and I’ve been so defined by that period. I’ve been in the fashion industry for almost two decades,” she adds.

Victoria is seen breaking down in tears in a new trailer for her new Netflix series, confessing that her fashion label was once millions in debt.

In the teaser shared on Wednesday, fans get a sneak peek of how Victoria’s dreams of becoming a fashion designer and the public’s reaction to them impacted her. It reaches a climax when she tearfully admits her fashion label was heavily in debt.

“Fashion was this creative outlet,” she revealed, just before the highly successful designer Tom Ford reminded viewers that “a lot of people didn’t take [her fashion dreams] seriously” and actress Eva Longoria recalled how everyone warned Victoria that she “will not be accepted”.

Victoria continued: “People thought, ‘She was a pop star. She’s married to a footballer, who does she think she is?’” As the trailer progressed, there were glimpses of where Victoria is now, and the scale of her fashion shows.

However, it’s not all sparkle and glamour, as the former Spice Girl confessed she and her fashion label were once “millions in the red”. David can then be heard saying he was starting to panic.

Tearfully, Victoria added: “I want my kids and David to be proud of me. It’s taken so long to get to this point and I’m not going to let it slip through my fingers again.”

David tenderly remarked that Victoria could “make a cheese and ham toastie and they would be proud”, but Victoria shielded her face with her hand and responded: “Let’s be honest, I couldn’t make a cheese sandwich very well.”

Victoria covers the October 2025 issue of ELLE, on newsstands September 30. Her three-part docuseries lands on Netflix on October 9.
