That Victoria Beckham is actually not ageing?

Love her or loathe her how is she looking so young?

Even with plastic surgery, great facials, Botox etc etc you normally see age around eyes, sagging skin on neck and chest, changes in tone and texture on skin.

But she looks about 25! She doesn’t have a wrinkle on her and that’s with being incredibly slim which is normally quite ageing close up. Her body is as youthful as her face.

She is the same age as me and I alway regret not having better skincare when I see her but I just do not know how she looks that good.

AIBU to be impressed even though I know she’s spent a fortune in time and money on herself.

She looks great, but 25, don’t be ridiculous. 😂 I think she’s an attractive woman that looks her age, which is great.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 30/01/2023 19:29

She's gone a bit mad with the lip fillers recently and it doesn't do her any favours. She's an attractive woman but I can't but think she'd be all the more attractive if she wasn't always so camera aware. You can tell she's always thinking of her angles.

She looks good. She doesnt look overly plasticky or that she has tons of work done, I dont know if people are looking at different pictures

People of 48, if they have looked after themselves and are good looking tend to look good (I dont!)

I saw Joanna Lumley on telly last night, she looks fabulous, she might have had work done but if she has, its very subtle.

Right up until my mum was in her mid 70s she had very smooth skin, barely any lines, could have passed for late 40s early 50s.

Your mum looked 50 at 75? 😂

rumship · 30/01/2023 19:30

She looks like they typical woman you see all the time trying desperately not to look their age but just looking exactly their age but unable to move their face and it looks sad.

She's a multi millionaire and can afford the best cosmetic treatments;they'll be botox/fillers,probably chemical peels,the latest range in facials and expensive good quality skin lotion and potions and clever makeup techniques.

It's a little unfair as David can grow old as nature intended and women will still swoon but as a woman she's not allowed to and is under immense pressure to look as youthful as possible.

To be fair I've seen David's looks come in for a lot of criticism recently with regard to his Botox and hair pieces.

She looks like a woman in her late 40s who's had a shit load of botox/fillers etc

That is not the same as looking 25

This. She's had loads of filler. I think she looks every day of her years

teomama · 30/01/2023 19:36

When I see pictures of her and her little girl, it always baffles me how she looks thinner than her daughter (who is about 10 y.o.)

Roundandnour · 30/01/2023 19:37

😂 looks 25. Think you need to get your eyes checked.

doadeer · 30/01/2023 19:39

I think so much is filters. They are just everywhere constantly we never see "real people". Even incredible skin doesn't look like porcelain in real life. That's not the texture.

Ok fair enough she doesn’t look 25 but she looks incredible and I mean all of her skin and body seems like free not just her face. How is her neck so good?- that’s normally a real giveaway.

She's only 48! Her neck shouldn't look any different to the way it did when she was in her 30s!

35965a · 30/01/2023 19:41

Filters, fillers, surgery, botox, time and money.

xJoyPeaceHealthx · 30/01/2023 19:42

She looks good!

Maireas · 30/01/2023 19:43

She has a very limited diet, steamed fish and undressed green salad, as I understand it.
I think I'd last about three days on that.

There are loads of neck treatments- kybella, thermage, profhilo, morpheus 8, neck lifts, lower face lifts etc - all tighten the neck. I'd be surprised if she hasnt had some kind of neck tightening considering how little % body fat she has.

HuntingoftheSnark · 30/01/2023 19:44

I think she looks extremely good - yes to the Botox and money, but she's clearly incredibly disciplined in her diet and exercise regime. I have wondered if she deliberately avoided facial expressions from early on to minimise lines.

Well I’m 48 too and mine most certainly does! Really noticeable the last five years.

She looks her age. Obviously well groomed, bit of Botox but you can see lines. Hope she doesn’t overdo it.

She certainly doesn't look young there does she !

Zelda from Terrahawks springs to mind

ArtVandalay · 30/01/2023 19:46

I think she definitely makes the best of herself. She does look ageless, in that she could be a bad 35 or a good 55. It’s hard to tell because her face is quite er, altered.

Her lips though 😮

Thighlengthboots · 30/01/2023 19:48

Her lips though

I know! I'm surprised they look so fake and awful considering she has access to the best injectors. Her upper lip looks like a shelf which is really indicative of really poor injecting

megletthesecond · 30/01/2023 19:48

David is having treatments too IMO. He looks like he's had filler. I don't think mens faces usually plump up as they age Hmm.

They seem like a healthy couple though which helps.

Wonnle · 30/01/2023 19:49

There's a touch of Dot Cotton about her in that photo

This and her neck is showing it's age!

Arniesleftleg · 30/01/2023 19:49

I actually like VB, I think she gets a bad rap from the press.

She has always been super slim so has never had to deal with a little sag here and there. She would have had surgery following her c section b births so she didn't get the lovely little apron a lot of us have. She clearly spends lots of time and money to look good, but a lot of what you see if filtered. She wears lots of high neck tops and roll necks as well. Fair play to her for keeping her looks.

DrPollyAmory · 30/01/2023 19:52

I've always quite liked VB, but I don't see the point of cosmetic surgery (or even make-up, come to that). I'm a couple of years older than she is, and we look about the same age, only one of us has had expensive treatments or whatever, and the other of us hasn't. The problem with any kind of "procedure" is that at some point, you're going to be 80, and you're just going to look completely ridiculous, so you might at well never go down that route in the first place. Far better to make the best of yourself as you are. It's a bit shit if she feels she has to go down this route, though - classic case of being careful what you wish for. It's far easier to be a nobody because there's no pressure at all on you.
