Victoria Beckham delighted fans with a nostalgic trip down memory lane during her appearance on the US talk show Watch What Happens Live on Monday night, but she also shared a surprising confession about her most famous fashion moment.
A Blast from the Spice World Past
The 51-year-old fashion designer, looking stunning in a sleek champagne-coloured outfit from her own collection, threw herself into a hilarious recreation of a classic scene from Spice World The Movie. Backstage with host Andy Cohen, she lip-synced her 1997 line, 'It's always the same, I never know what to wear,' while holding up two little black dresses.
Cohen and his producer, John Hill, gamely joined in, donning wigs to impersonate Sporty and Baby Spice. They mimed the famous retort about Victoria's impossible choice between 'the little Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress, or... the little Gucci dress!'
The High Street Truth Behind a Designer Icon
Later in the interview, Beckham was asked by a fan about her favourite Posh Spice outfit and whether it was indeed the iconic Gucci number. She revealed the truth that has been kept under wraps for decades. 'It wasn't actually a real Gucci dress, it was from the high street,' she admitted.
She explained that in the early days of the Spice Girls, designer clothes were merely a dream. 'I made everyone think it was designer but it wasn't,' she confessed, adding that the nickname 'Posh' worked to her advantage as it meant she often got the lion's share of the clothing budget for videos and performances.
US Tour Evokes Emotional Fan Moments
Beckham's chat show tour across the United States has been full of memorable incidents, primarily to promote her thriving beauty line. During a recent spot on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, she caused a major stir for guest Lily Collins.
The Emily in Paris actress, 36, a self-professed superfan, was left speechless and tearful when Beckham made a surprise appearance. Collins, sporting a Posh-inspired bob, had just told Fallon she hoped she'd 'never leave my Posh era.' The emotional meeting culminated with Beckham explaining the origin of her nickname, much to Collins's delight.
Victoria's transatlantic media blitz continues to showcase her evolution from global pop icon to respected businesswoman, while never letting fans forget the playful, fashion-obsessed spirit of Posh Spice that started it all.
