To think that Victoria Beckham looks plain daft?

She's in New York to launch her latest collection and has been papped strutting out of hotels in some dreadful outfits. All can be viewed in the Daily Mail but for those of you who don't like to click I will post a few and you can tell me if I'm BU.

I think she looks really good. All these outfits are for publicity, it works, they are everywhere.

I am always impressed by how much this woman has achieved. She is a surprisingly good role model.

herethereandeverywhere · 12/02/2016 17:42

I quite like those outfits - they do casual but polished really well.

I do get slightly shocked by what her face looks like these days though, as I'm sure it wasn't always like that (not sure what it is, may be the lips or nose or both, not sure) I haven't done an extensive compare and contrast so it could be my memory but that's what strikes me, not the clothing.

GreenishMe · 12/02/2016 17:43

I really can't see what the problem is....am I missing something?

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 12/02/2016 17:44

I love all those clothes, she looks great, better than all those awful Galaxy dresses

whataboutbob · 12/02/2016 17:44

Can't help thinking how scarily thin she must be under those clothes, and how she is feted for being stylish all other the magazines, but in practice achieving that body size means relentless food restrictions and most of us can't do it and shouldn't even try.

ProcrastinatorGeneral · 12/02/2016 17:44

It's a bit late 70's/early 80's isn't it. Odd bits of it are ok, but it's not as though anyone will wear an entire ensemble.

Can't stand her 'look' as a whole though, she looks like she's always sniffing cat shit.

notonyurjellybellynelly · 12/02/2016 17:45

Just recently she's been wearing a lot that hides one of her hands. It looks a bit silly.

BIWI · 12/02/2016 17:45

I think she looks great. And I think your posts make you sound bitter and unpleasant.

figureofspeech · 12/02/2016 17:45

She needs a coat, she must be freezing in the N.Y. winter without a coat.

OllyBJolly · 12/02/2016 17:46

She looks fab. Gorgeous woman.

Whathaveilost · 12/02/2016 17:46

I like her look to be honest.

ThereIsTooMuchConfusion · 12/02/2016 17:46

I like all of them.

Behooven · 12/02/2016 17:47

I like that yellow outfit and wish I was that skinny and would like to shag Becks

cantgonofurther · 12/02/2016 17:47

I think her clothes look fine. I like them.

mouldycheesefan · 12/02/2016 17:47

Looks fine. Why not show us what you are wearing today op? And include outfits that you have designed yourself of course.

notonyurjellybellynelly · 12/02/2016 17:47

I like her look to be honest

Yes, so do I, and its only fair to say so.

whatdoIget · 12/02/2016 17:48

I think she looks good

squoosh · 12/02/2016 17:48

I do think it's fine to poke fun at clothes though! Fashion people don't want to blend into the crowd.

DinosaursRoar · 12/02/2016 17:53

OK - can someone help me out here - it's bloody freezing at the moment, and she's pushing a fashion look of wearing chunky knits when it's cold that cover your bum and norks, for wearing warm looking boots with thick heels (so easier to walk in that same height in a thin heel), why are we saying it's a bad idea?

I like the chunk knits look, it looks warm and toasty and terribly practical.

The hand covering - does VB have a tatoo on her hand? she's been spotted with her other ones looking faded, so could be she's having one on her hand removed too and wants to keep it covered in the interim stage? That or she doesn't have any gloves - I've been known to pull my sleeves down to cover my hands when I've been caught out without gloves.

gobbynorthernbird · 12/02/2016 17:53

I did wonder how long it'd take for 'scarily thin' to be used to slate her.

WorraLiberty · 12/02/2016 17:54

Yeah, it's definitely the patriarchy's fault that so many women have image issues....

IamPoopyHead · 12/02/2016 17:54

I think she looks great.
YABU op, I really can't see what you're seeing that is "daft".

Armi · 12/02/2016 17:54

Every time I see a picture of her, a little bit of me wants to clap. She's worked hard.

Abraid2 · 12/02/2016 17:55

I like the grey jumper.

BeStrongAndCourageous · 12/02/2016 17:55

I genuinely love all of those outfits, I think she looks fabulous. Wish I had a delicate enough frame to pull off that style but even at my thinnest my boobs were always too big.
