The skinny on being thin
Posh Spice says women today want to look curvy
Victoria Beckham thinks being “really thin” is an “old-fashioned attitude.”
The former Spice Girls singer and mother of four is known for her slender frame, but she believes women today are keen to look “healthy and curvy” and she loves the body confidence she's seen on display while in America.
She told the new issue of Britain's Grazia magazine: “It's an old-fashioned attitude, wanting to be really thin. I think women today want to look healthy, and curvy. They want to have some boobs — and a bum. The curvier you are, the better my VB Body dresses look.
“Every woman wants a nice, round, curvy bottom, right?
“For that, you need a really tight knit that nips you in at the waist and holds you in all the right places.
“There are a lot of really curvy women in Miami, and they really own it, you know? They walk along Miami beach with not a lot of clothes on, and they look fantastic.
“They show their bodies off with such confidence. I found both their attitude and their style really liberating.”
And Beckham thinks it is good for her daughter to see women so comfortable in their own skin.
She added: “And, as a mother, I loved the fact that Harper was around women who were really celebrating their curves and enjoying how they look.”
Beckham admitted her new VB Body range — which features tight-knit jersey dresses and separates — stemmed from wanting to “feel sexy” again by changing up her wardrobe.
The new line is a hit with the 48-yearold fashion designer's husband, David.
She admitted: “'Much as I do dress for myself, I also love the fact that he (David) loves me in these dresses. Men love to see a bit of shape.”
