POSH’S HEELARIOUS ALPHABET
From the Airport to the Zoo — via Crutches and Jogging — the proof her shoes are always high fashion
A QUARTER of a century has passed since the Spice Girls burst on to the music scene. During that time, Victoria Beckham has had many reinventions on her journey from pop star to WAG and fashionista. While her hairdos (and bust size) may have changed over the years, there has been one constant: her love of impossibly high heels. ‘I can’t concentrate in flats,’ she once said. Get ready for your bunions to throb as CLAUDIA CONNELL celebrates 25 years of Posh, with an A-Z of all the unlikely occasions she has worn her trademark skyscraper stilettos.
