AIBU To think Victoria Beckham is a right mardy, stroppy looking mare. Anybody see the way she was looking out the corner of her eye at the crowds. Not a hint of a smile.

The thing is, how many times did you see Victoria on the coverage? 2/3?

How do you know she never smiled?

As a matter of interest I’ve just looked through some other snaps and half the people there aren’t smiling.

How can you judge on one minute moment of coverage?!

JacquesHammer · 19/05/2018 17:58

It did open my eyes.

HTH

StealthPolarBear · 19/05/2018 17:58

They could have asked the Beckham ds to do the wedding photography

taratill · 19/05/2018 18:00

jaques the BBC coverage showed the Clooney's walking up the path to the church ahead of the Beckhams and the shot moved from one couple to the other constantly over a number of minutes as they were walking slowly.

Amal and George looked radiant. VB looked absolutely miserable by comparison.

biscuitraider · 19/05/2018 18:06

Oh dear jaques people aren't on about one snap shot of her, it's all the time.....and fwiw everyone seen going into the church, even Princess Ann looked happy to be there. None of them grinning like big cheshire cats, just happy to be there. None of them had a face on them that would sour milk....apart from VB.

JacquesHammer · 19/05/2018 18:11

All the time? Didn’t realise you knew her Grin

Or do you actually mean the rare occasions she’s snapped in public?

Cos, you know, there’s a difference 😉

biscuitraider · 19/05/2018 18:27

Or do you actually mean the rare occasions she’s snapped in public?

Haha, are you having a laugh, I mean I can't take anyone serious for saying that. Probably the only one who beats VB for being snapped in public is the queen. Are you on another planet, not to know that?.....and yes every single one of the numerous pics of her she's miserable. Go google. But perhaps you don't need to, do you know her? Very over invested if not.

AntiqueSinger · 19/05/2018 18:28

I'm serious GreatDuck of course there was the Loos woman, but I thought that was a flush in the pan.

I think it must be awful to be trapped in that way because you're known as part of a brand. No wonder she's so thin.

IrmaFayLear · 19/05/2018 18:30

I suppose the impassive face is her USP, it’s her thing .

Although dh saw her in a restaurant and reported that she looked thunderous the whole time.

Rememory · 19/05/2018 18:45

I thought 'The Real Beckhams' was an eye opener. She has very low self esteem and I think she honestly believes her fame is only because of him. Her Mum says to her at one point 'why are you always putting yourself down?' If he does do what he's alleged to, I would imagine I'd find it hard to smile too.

She has always looked besotted by him and maybe all the money in the world doesn't make it any easier to leave someone you put all your eggs in.

SymphonyofShadows · 19/05/2018 18:51

Her fame is because of him though isn't it? Look at what the other Spice Girls are doing, and they could all sing better than her. Geri is more high profile recently because of her marriage.

Rememory · 19/05/2018 19:01

I agree she looked very unhappy with him but she did half smile at points.

She was much more famous than him at the beginning, the media created Brand Beckham.

Doomed, I reckon.

TossDaily · 19/05/2018 19:06

The irony is, she could do so much better than him.

She's funny, self-deprecating, witty and hard-working.

He's vacuous. Listen to his Desert Island Discs and marvel at the self-absorption.

AntiqueSinger · 19/05/2018 19:13

But I've never heard anything in the newspapers or the gossip mags about him being any sort of philanderer, and since they're so high profile I'd assume something so serious would be dug up!

If its true she should dump him on his backside. I guess she won't because of the children and 'brand becks' and just carry on being overly self-conscious and hardly eating. My heart goes out to her.

boomboom12 · 19/05/2018 19:18

I mean lots of the press/public knew Harvey or Tiger but things don’t always “come out”.

WhatAMessTheBad · 19/05/2018 19:19

@AntiqueSinger there's not much on here that actually makes me laugh, but 'flush in the pan' for Ms Loos did!

NameChangedForThisQ · 19/05/2018 19:24

Oh lovely a thread to bitch about the facial expression of another woman. How mature, insightful and evolved of you.

Years ago I was at a dinner with an ex BBC reporter who was talking about a massive football star who was a cheating wanker. It didn't come out in the press because he was a beloved Player for the national team. Some unspoken rule it seems

EdWinchester · 19/05/2018 19:37

God, I hate all the 'sisterhood' crap that comes out on these threads.

She looked fucking miserable. It's ok to observe.

mycatistoofat · 19/05/2018 19:37

She looks beautiful in that photo but sad too.

StealthPolarBear · 19/05/2018 19:39

She does look a bit funereal in that veil.

Enigmam · 19/05/2018 19:45

She looks incredibly anxious and looked like she was clinging to David for some support & reassurance but he didn't seem to be aware of her needs.

biscuitraider · 19/05/2018 19:47

namechanged theres far more bitchiness on here from one mumsnetter to another....and you know what, its words they'll actually see. I doubt VB would. I actually think that gushing over celebs is far worse. Victoria Beckham puts herself in the spotlight, she makes a big deal about outward appearances, it's what she seems to define herself by...... of course we are going to talk about her, and that includes her looking miserable.

biscuitraider · 19/05/2018 19:50

Well said, fucking "sisterhood" bullshit.
