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.

I have an 11 year old daughter and obviously my hips are wider than hers considering I’ve been through puberty and gave birth etc. Weird to presume it’s normal for your 11 year old to be quite visibly wider than you.

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

Op you need to go to specsavers if you think she looks 25,in this pic she looks her age a woman who is mid 40

Fedupwitheveryone · 30/01/2023 21:41

She's had cameras pointed at her constantly for 30(?) years now and she's reportedly quite shy. But still everyone is assuming she's miserable because she doesn't smile in photos? I doubt I would either (especially after her youth when she did and then got unfavourable comments for showing her teeth)

You do know that people have different body types and shapes, don't you? My build is similar to VB's (same with all the women on my side of the family), but my DDs take after their father's side of the family, and all the women are tall with big hips, big bottoms and large breasts. It's perfectly possible to be a woman of childbearing age with small hips and a flat chest.

SmudgeButt · 30/01/2023 21:46

To quote the great Dolly Parton - it takes a lot of money to look this cheap!!!

And as others have mentioned - Posh hasn't twitched a facial muscle in what, 30? years!! So why would she have wrinkles. She should get out and have a laugh occasionally - she'd hopefully be a happier person!!!

MissWings · 30/01/2023 21:47

@DrPollyAmory

Yeah but we all know VB chronically undereats and has at times in her life been completely skeletal. She is one helluva walking advertisement for osteoporosis. I know many 11 years olds not one of them is wider than their mother (and quite noticeably).

Maireas · 30/01/2023 21:52

Cameras pointed at her for 30 years, @Fedupwitheveryone ? I think she's actively sought out being photographed and filmed, hasn't she? Doesn't she post regularly on social media?

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 30/01/2023 19:59

This made me laugh.

VB being all uber-fashionista striking a pose and Dave looking like a plumber who'd rather be doing anything else than having his photo taken.

This is hilarious!GrinGrin

David definitely looking like he'd rather be anywhere else!

Branster · 31/01/2023 00:51

I think she looks extremely good for her age. Not younger but very good. Apparently she is very disciplined with her diet (salmon every day - wouldn't that make one smell like a fish?).
I always thought she has amazing legs.
It's good that she got rid of those awful implants that did not suit her at all.
She is always immaculate but the fun aspect is missing from her style. Everything is too well prepared and planned and rigid. Although I do like a lot of what she wears.
It just looks like she never relaxes and is in constant high alert. She probably is.
I do like her smile in various interviews.

HikingforScenery · 31/01/2023 00:56

You must know some dodgy-looking 25 year olds, OO?

TheObstinateHeadstrongGirl · 31/01/2023 00:58

I maybe need to go to Specsavers because to me she looks her age. Certainly doesn’t look 25. Injections and surgery don’t always make a woman look younger

Beezknees · 31/01/2023 05:38

25 is a bit of a stretch. I'm 33 and I think she looks older than me.

Reinventinganna · 31/01/2023 06:55

She is beautiful

mamabear715 · 31/01/2023 06:57

Not RTFT but it's amazing how much better folks with endless money look than the rest of us. What a coincidence.

ArianahX · 31/01/2023 09:11

I'm mid 40s and my neck looks same as it did mid 30s mainly because I'm overweight! That pads out any potential lines!
Trying to diet now but let's face it I'll never be Posh skinny so hopefully will still not have too many lines etc as I can't afford her treatments.

AyeCarrumba · 31/01/2023 09:23

StopFeckingFaffing · 30/01/2023 19:20

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

Vitriolinsanity · 31/01/2023 19:03

She always looks immaculate. I'd also happily eat her choice of dinner.

I like her self-deprecating interviews. I'd have a drink with her [ultimate seal of Vitriol approval]

xJoyPeaceHealthx · 31/01/2023 19:06

I'd have a drink with her too, she's funny. Realistically she has better things to do!!

carbuncleonapigsposterior · 31/01/2023 19:24

I've honestly seen better examples of women of that age who haven't had any work done, somehow, with a few exceptions the more some women have done the worse they look, Katie Price being an example of that. Victoria Beckham is clearly not so over the top as her, but I agree with the poster up thread she looks a likely candidate for osteoporosis and rather frail and creaky already in a Nancy Reagan sort of way. Given how she once looked naturally I wouldn't mind betting she would age really well if she was carrying slightly more weight and hadn't had any procedures, she has a dark colouring that generally ages well.

ArtVandalay · 31/01/2023 19:31

Lol at Nancy Reagan, but I see exactly what you mean.

If we’re talking about ageing Spice Girls (we’re not, but…), Emma Bunton hasn’t aged a day.

SirVixofVixHall · 31/01/2023 19:34

Duckingella · 30/01/2023 19:26

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.

David looks very botoxed to me !

Brushyourtabletagain · 06/06/2025 16:36

25!! Jesus, I don't know what 25 year olds you know, but no 25 year olds I know look like that, unless they've had an extremely hard life lol 😆

KimberleyClark · 06/06/2025 17:07

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.

What’s “incredibly disciplined in her diet and exercise regime” to you is disordered eating and exercise addicted to others.
