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.

I just wish she could've walked in like that Duck.

She looks happier, more approachable and like she wants to be there.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 23/05/2018 17:33

Better late than I suppose Grin

AsdaPooShaker · 23/05/2018 17:45

It looks like it’s actually physically difficult for her to smile. Too much Botox maybe or a couple of ounces too much filler.

Yorkshirebetty · 23/05/2018 17:46

She can't seem to stretch her face!!

tenpencemixup · 23/05/2018 17:54

Does she smile in the presence of her children? Or does she still not like her smile enough to overcome this situation? Seems quite shallow that you'd not express joy in case someone took an unflattering photo

KimchiLaLa · 23/05/2018 18:22

Honestly I think she just doesn't like the way she looks when she smiles.

RoseWhiteTips · 23/05/2018 18:32

Love that photograph of her trying to do the Royal wave. Lol

xsquared · 23/05/2018 19:13

VB gets criticism whether she is smiling or not.

Roussette · 23/05/2018 19:37

I dunno. Never seen her smiling since 1997 Grin

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 23/05/2018 19:40

Cover up her mouth. Even when she’s smiling her eyes are sad.
She’s tried for years ( probably since Rebecca Loos) to prop up the marriage for the sake of Brand Beckham

I've not read the thread but I saw the looks David gave her at the wedding. I'd call them scowls rather than looks. He was looking at her in such a horrible way. I suspect it's a behind closed doors thing. I actually feel a bit sad for her.

RoseWhiteTips · 23/05/2018 19:54

He was chewing gum at the wedding. Oh and there were lots of tats on show.

Classy.

She should move on from him.

xsquared · 23/05/2018 19:56

I’m pretty sure people also mocked her for her “rictor smile” in the early noughties.

bringbacksideburns · 23/05/2018 20:02

I noticed the way he was scowling at her too.

She gets a bad press because she admits she is self conscious about her smile and teeth so looks glum. But I thought straight away there was something different about her at the wedding. She looked unhappy.

Beckham showed his true colours when those emails were leaked. He isn't such a nice guy but I do think he's a good dad and the kids keep them together.

He's the biggest womanizer going and he'd probably just been caught out again.

HerMajestysSecret · 23/05/2018 20:21

There was a profile shot of her during the service and her overfilled top lip was very prominent. How can she think it looks nice? I'd rather have no lip at all (which I don't, really).

I have no respect for her at all. She was straight on twitter banging on about how that dress (her own) has received so much interest she may have to release it before the autumn as planned.

Yeah, right. And very typical that she viewed the occasion as a catwalk opportunity to flog her ridiculous dresses.

Like Chloe Madeley, she is someone who probably loves bad press as much as good. It's all publicity. They breathe it. She needed everyone to be talking about her the next day, and they are.

cherrytrees123 · 23/05/2018 20:28

I agree HM. I can't stand her.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 23/05/2018 21:04

Oh please. It's the DM ffs. Plus it clearly states all the Beckhams were there.

Typical shitty Daily Mail trying to find trouble when there is none. And people believe it 😤

Hushnownobodycares · 23/05/2018 21:22

Why is the myth she's a successful fashion designer being perpetuated? Yes, DB is a monstrous arse but he's been bailing her business out for several years.

Sprinklesinmyelbow · 23/05/2018 21:24

Tbf to her though, most design houses are heavily financed. High fashion isn’t very profitable

Hushnownobodycares · 23/05/2018 21:33

I'm guessing most of them are financed by more traditional means than a minted hubby coughing loud and long though?

Sprinklesinmyelbow · 23/05/2018 21:41

Yes true but that’s probably more convenient by all round- little/ no interest, flexibility, no other stakeholders sticking their nose in - he gets to offset some tax

Whisky2014 · 23/05/2018 21:49

Just looked on daily mail for catch up of showbiz crap. And there's an article about how David was out partying with some girl the night before the wedding... dun dun duunnnn

SarfE4sticated · 24/05/2018 01:54

In the spirit of scientific inquiry, I have googled picks of VB smiling, and she looks adorable, in a cute girlish way (they were old photos though). I can imagine that she wants to look poised and elegant most of the time, and therefore doesn't smile.
