After years in the entertainment spotlight, Victoria Beckham’s career turned from front runner of one of the most popular girl bands to fashion icon. Beckham has always been known for her polished and sophisticated style, obvious from her Spice Girls title ‘Posh’. Aware that her career as an artist was not all that she imagined for herself, Beckham quickly confirmed that her true passion was for designing. She has taken the fashion industry by storm, so receiving the OBE for her business and humanitarian work comes as no surprise. This award was given to her after years in the industry as a model and designer. However, her reputation gained the most attention after the release of her deluxe brand, VB.
Beckham makes juggling a busy life look easy and her time in the fashion industry is nowhere near its end. She continues to amaze with her personal style, the launching of her numerous brands and makes time for charity work, all while raising four kids. For all of her service within the industry, she was a no brainer for the honour. The ceremony took place at Buckingham Palace, where her astonishing 17-year career was acknowledged by the Duke of Cambridge. Lucky for her children, success runs in the family – her husband, David Beckham, was made an OBE in 2003.
Beckham receiving the honour sends a great message to younger generations who will receive recognition as future OBEs. She is proof that following your dreams can lead to success and happiness, making her a perfect role model and quite honestly, the ultimate recipient. Although we are forever grateful for the Spice Girls, Beckham’s immense success confirms that she was meant to be in the fashion world.
