...to think that VB actually looks ugly in this pic?

Now I quite like Victoria Beckham. I don't think she's stunning to look at but I have always thought she was quite attractive if you ignore the bones poking through her skin.

But I have seen this picture this morning, and I actually think she looks ugly, almost piggish.

Thoughts?

I have never seen a picture where she didn't look ugly, all that lighting airbrushing and professional photography still can't hide it. I've heard that your personality comes through your face as you get older, I can only imagine she'll look worse.

Nancy66 · 13/09/2010 09:30

...I think she just looks tired.
she also looks better with short hair.

Alambil · 13/09/2010 09:31

How rude.

TotorosOcarina · 13/09/2010 09:32

I'm sorry but I don't think she is attractive at all, in any way.

I'm sure there are millions who do but not to me.

Warmseabreeze · 13/09/2010 09:32

YANBU - she looks really tired, maybe David had her up all night Wink

Eglu · 13/09/2010 09:32

That really isn't a good angle for her face at all. She look a bit bizarre.

pinkfizzle · 13/09/2010 09:33

Very rude.

Sassybeast · 13/09/2010 09:35

Yeah for the sisterhood Hmm

Serendippy · 13/09/2010 09:37

YABU. I do wish there were photos of you so we could judge your level of beauty.

BunnyLebowski · 13/09/2010 09:37

I'm in no way a VB fan but calling someone ugly is way harsh dude.

She's an average/plain looking woman trying too hard to be sexy/skinny/attractive/a fashion icon. The tryhardness is the most unattractive thing about her.

PosieParker · 13/09/2010 09:39

VB puts herself out there to be judged, ffs. Why people are defending her I have no idea, she doesn't have to pout everytime she's seen and make herself skeletal.

PosieParker · 13/09/2010 09:39

Sisterhood? Did you see her leave the hospital after having babies?

midnightexpress · 13/09/2010 09:40

No need to start a thread about it though PP, just to say that someone is ugly. Nice. Hmm

MummyDayAndNightCare · 13/09/2010 09:40

Serendippy I am by no means a stunner if that helps to put your mind at rest.

Maybe "Ugly" is an unfair word, I was meaning it in the way that I think she normally looks pretty good but thought this pic of her was awful. So it was more of a comparison to how she usually looks and the fact this pic is very unflattering.

You're right, I probably could have worded it better.

Well, yes.

Serendippy · 13/09/2010 09:42

'AIBU to think that this is a very unflattering photo of VB' would not have got my hackles up, I must say. Wording is a bit brutal! Have not looked at the photo though, still probably looks better than me!

Theflatulentfairy · 13/09/2010 09:42

I hardly recognised her in that picture. Is that her new look? I'm not a VB fan either, if I had a daughter I'd be very worried about her aspiring to that level of malnutrition

BunnyLebowski · 13/09/2010 09:43

Starting a thread to describe anyone as 'ugly, almost piggish.' is just unnecessarily nasty and hateful.

Adair · 13/09/2010 09:43

I think she looks nice in that picture tbh. I like seeing pictures of her more smiley. Used to love her <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=fashionista.com/images/VictoriaBeckham.jpg&imgrefurl=fashionista.com/2007/11/victoria-beckham-confirmed-shot-for-marc-jacobs/&usg=__x9kznM74SyfHbmLWW0qd8LxeiI4=&h=400&w=285&sz=27&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=SPR0ozw-" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">UXBQGM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=91&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dposh%2Bspice%2Bsmiling%2Bspice%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D667%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=405&vpy=38&dur=5409&hovh=266&hovw=189&tx=111&ty=160&ei=GeSNTKSfItCNjAexmbzUBg&oei=9-ONTID-HoiEswaVnvXgAQ&esq=14&page=1&ndsp=36&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0 big cheesy grin in the Spice Girls...

Ewe · 13/09/2010 09:44

She doesn't look her usual polished perfect self that is for sure. Guess it's just exhaustion from working so hard on her collection perhaps?

The Liz Jones critique bother me far more than the pic of VB though, LJ is an awful vacuous waste of space.

Adair · 13/09/2010 09:44

Agh, sorry - should have said 'big cheesy grin and linked!!

ShadeofViolet · 13/09/2010 09:45

She looks tired

She also looks like she is turning into Zoe Wanamaker in that picture.

But she doesnt look ugly.

MummyDayAndNightCare · 13/09/2010 09:46

Adair that is a fab pic. I always think she's looked her best when she has been pregnant.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw. i like victoria beckham, she's funny. odd photo, right enough, she looks KNACKERED. i hope it's because she's pregnant...

Greensleeves · 13/09/2010 09:49

Adair that doesn't look like a proper smile to me, more of a practised stage school grimace

she sets my teeth on edge personally
