Victoria Beckham used to be so different

I like her and think Brooklyn’s recent posts are awful.

I was looking on YouTube today and a video came up of her over the years, mainly with the spice girls and when younger. She was so funny, so cheeky and seemed so strong & confident. She did full, proper smiles and laughs, so nice to see.
Totally different to now, is it just age and we were all probably more like that in our youth?

I think the fact that she's stayed with a man who cheated on her - and I 100% believe Rebecca Loos- has taken its toll on her.
She must have lost a little bit of her soul. He even cheated on Rebecca ffs.

But you're right in that we all change as we age. There is literally nothing on this earth as powerful as the optimism of youth.

I don't think she's any different really, now has longer hair, more put together in her style, still funny and witty.

I do agree she used to smile more, but think there's a general thing in fashion where its cool / sexy to have that sort of thousand yard mardy arse stare, I think she's just spent a lot of time around that. I mainly try and avoid having my photo taken these days, maybe she feels the same 😆
