Victoria Beckham on the upcoming Netflix documentary she says David Beckham talked her into, her Patek Philippe collection – and why security guards are the most important people in her stores
For someone who has been famous since the late 1990s, Victoria Beckham is surprisingly busy in the 2020s. After many years in the red, her eponymous fashion company Victoria Beckham Holdings Ltd, is back on the road to profitability – no small thing for an independent luxury fashion brand. Beckham also introduced a successful fragrance line two years ago, and became the accidental star of a Netflix documentary series about her husband David Beckham. Her charming, funny cameos showed a playful and relatable side to the megawatt couple, they of the matching purple Versace wedding outfits Victoria Beckham's pre-spring/summer 2026 collection at Centurion New York was the first time her resort collection was shown in person.

For the first time ever, she showed her resort collection in person, rather than digitally, at a glamorous trunk show at Centurion New York. In autumn, Beckham will be the star of her own Netflix docuseries, which will follow her day to day as the creative director of her fashion and beauty brands. Victoria Beckham will star in her own Netflix documentary later in the year, following her journey from singer to fashion designer.

Our conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity. A model wearing a Victoria Beckham dress from the spring 2025 collection.

I was having brunch with Thom Browne and Anna Wintour a few months ago, as you do, and she said to me, 'You should come back to New York and show one of your collections.' It's something that I've been thinking about for a while, because I showed my first ever collection here in New York in 2008. New York has been such a huge part of my story so far. I was approached by Amex to come over here, and it just worked perfectly to do it. Were you nervous when you did that first presentation in 2008?

Cruz Beckham, 20, enjoys a steamy clinch with girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, during summer break as family rift with older brother Brooklyn continues
Cruz Beckham appeared to be living his best life on Tuesday while unwinding with girlfriend Jackie Apostel. The couple appeared to be enjoying an intimate moment before David and Victoria Beckham 's youngest son surreptitiously snapped a photo for his social media followers. With a bank of palm trees providing an exotic backdrop, Cruz, 20, is pictured peering over his girlfriend's exposed shoulder as they embrace. Evidently making the most of his summer break, the young musician - who was last seen with Apostel, 30, in Miami - overlaid the photo with a sample of The Beach Boys' 1988 hit Kokomo, a song inspired by the Caribbean. His post follows a recent appearance at Fort Lauderdale's Chase Stadium, with the couple sharing another passionate embrace while Inter Miami played MLS rivals Nashville, a match the home-side ultimately won 2-1. The musician is currently embroiled in a widening family rift with wayward older brother Brooklyn, 26, and his actress wife, Nicola Peltz. Both Victoria and David Beckham have become estranged from Brooklyn and his wife, 30, after they failed to attend any of his father's 50th birthday celebrations in May. Despite flying to London, Brooklyn and Nicola didn't attend the big family party at the Beckhams' Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core. There was further proof of the irreparable nature of the rift when the couple jetted to the capital from their home in Los Angeles for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler. It took place less than two miles away from the Beckham family home in Holland Park, west London. Brooklyn didn't even tell David and Victoria they were in the country - let alone meet with them. But he appeared to have made a tentative sign of peace with his parents David and Victoria. He has not severed all ties with his parents as he still proudly claims the familial link to his hot sauce brand Cloud23. Brooklyn launched the brand in September last year and revealed the '23' in the name was a nod to David's famous No. 23 jersey which he wore while playing for Real Madrid and again for LA Galaxy. When a customer wrote in asking for more information about the brand, Brooklyn's team replied proudly restating how it honours his father. They said: 'The 23 included in our brand is a warm nod to Brooklyn's father, David Beckham, who wore number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, inspired by NBA legend Michael Jordan.' The reference to David being a 'warm nod' is significant given the current strained relationship between father and son. However, there is currently no mention of David anywhere on the Cloud23 website. The 'Cloud' part of the name reflects the brand's tagline, 'Flavour beyond the clouds,' emphasising an elevated, luxurious culinary experience.

‘It looks awful, David': How to master a buzz cut without ruining your style
In his many decades in the spotlight, David Beckham – who recently turned 50 – has never shied away from headline-worthy hairstyles. But his latest look has caused a buzz for all the wrong reasons: he posted a video on Instagram on Sunday showing his 80 million-strong audience he had accidentally sheared a large chunk of hair from his head. Attempting to hide the damage from the camera, his wife Victoria – who appears to be filming the video – teases him about the mishap. 'You tried to cut your hair but what have you done?' she laughs. He revealed the bald patch, saying 'It's not funny. The clipper head fell off,' before she tells him it looks 'terrible'. Blink and it could have been five years ago in peak Covid lockdown, when men up and down the country took to DIY barbering. View this post on Instagram A post shared by David Beckham (@davidbeckham) Most electric trimmers come with plastic guards, often referred to as the trimmer's head, which controls the length of the cut. These attachments are adjustable, usually ranging from half a millimetre up to five or more, depending on the desired finish. The most common mistake is in how the trimmer is handled. The guard must be securely attached; if the guard slips or pops off mid-use, as it did with Beckham, the blade reverts to zero and creates an unintentional bald spot. For Marcos Verissimo, the hairstylist and founder of Mayfair salon The Six, 'short hairstyles, especially shaved or close-cropped looks, are often misunderstood as low maintenance. In reality, they require far more upkeep than people realise.' The alternative to a DIY approach in maintaining a clean, intentional finish on a buzz cut is to go into a salon every seven to ten days, because 'after two or three weeks, even minimal growth can make the style appear unkempt or unfinished,' adds Verissimo. It's no wonder why many men choose to upkeep the style from home. According to Verissimo, attempting an at-home buzz-cut frequently ends in disaster. 'What happened to David is the guard popped off - it's something I see often with clients who trim their own hair, and mistakes like this are incredibly common,' he says. His top piece of advice to avoid this from happening is to 'rest your index finger on top of the plastic comb while trimming.' In Beckham's case, the best solution, the stylist advises, is to simply even out the rest of the hair. 'He still looks great, but it is a helpful reminder that short hair often demands more maintenance, not less,' adds Verissimo. 'This is one of the reasons I often recommend slightly longer styles for men. They are more forgiving, more versatile, and much easier to manage.' The former England footballer was indeed the poster boy for a whole host of hairstyles in the 90s and 00s, sporting every cut from a platinum blond fade to a spiky Mohawk and a highlighted, tousled bob. He even made the 'man bun' a popular style of the time. However his haircuts haven't always proved popular: in an episode of the 2023 Netflix series Beckham, Beckham shared how back in 2000 his Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson ordered him to shave his Mohawk before walking out onto the pitch – having hidden it under a beanie hat to avoid the manager seeing it ahead of the game. Mohawk or not, perhaps it's time to dust off the beanie, David.

The A-Line Bob Is the Chicest Way to Cut Your Hair Without Losing Length
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. The A-line bob is one of the most iconic haircuts of all time; think Victoria Beckham, Keira Knightley, Taylor Swift—or more recently, Naomi Watts, Lily Collins, and Zendaya. It's a graphic and striking cut, and the ultimate hairstyle statement. However, with tousled cuts like the French bob having taken a backseat in recent years, the A-line bob now runs the risk of looking slightly dated. In turn, it requires an expert eye to translate the style for 2025, taking it from a 2000s cool-girl hairstyle for the history books and turning it into a fresh, eye-catching modern cut. Luckily, we enlisted the help of in-salon experts to break down the need-to-know details of the A-line bob, including how to cut and style it with a contemporary allure. Here's what they said. The A-line bob is a nostalgic and instantly recognizable cut, not too dissimilar to the coveted graduated bob. It's angular, sharp, and has a timeless appeal. 'An A-line bob is an angular short haircut a little longer at the front than the back,' explains Jake Schaverien, stylist at Hari's South Kensington. 'It can suit almost anyone and can be contouring for some as long as it is kept well below the jawline. However, it can also drag the face down on longer, more oval face shapes.' The good news is, the A-line bob is generally a very adaptable haircut, and it can be flattering across many face shapes and hair types as long as it's curated to you. "You would just determine the length with your stylist best suited for your face shape," says Molly Newell, creative stylist at the Neil Moodie Studio. The process of cutting an A-line bob is a fairly straightforward one, but always one that's best left to the professionals given its sharp, graphic angle. 'For an A-line bob, you cut as you would a normal bob; however, instead of creating a blunt line, you would graduate the nape area and create a round shape,' explains Newell. Be sure to take reference images to your stylist, too. It's a great way of creating a visual representation of the shape, length, and angle you want to replicate; it can then be tweaked to fit your own facial anatomy. As with many other crisp, angular bobs, your styling options are plentiful. 'Styling an A-line bob can be easy for different textured hair. Both natural curls and straight hair work for the look,' says Schaverien. 'You could also use a tong to create soft waves for a carefree and playful look. If you mean business, then a super sleek finish with your straighteners will look super professional.' It's important to ask your stylist to cut your A-line bob according to your everyday hair routine, says Newell. 'For smooth and straight, I recommend styling using the Davines Oi All in One Milk, layered with their Volume Boosting Mousse. Use a classic Denman brush with the Dyson Supersonic R dryer to blow-dry straight. For a more playful wave, prep with the same products but either diffuse-dry or blow-dry with a large round bristle brush, then curl using a GHD curling iron.' From: ELLE UK
