Beckham Said Women Now Want To Be Curvy

Beckham unveiled her latest women's clothing collection, VB Body, during an interview with Jess Cartner-Morley from Grazia. The clothing collection includes several form-fitting pieces that are meant to hug and flatter the body.

The 48-year-old former Spice Girl said, "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." 

She continued, "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." It's a topic that many people have spoken about recently, and many are happy that someone with influence and status like Beckham is addressing the shift in body image.

Beckham's Collection Targets Curvier Women

According to Beckham, the new VB Body clothing collection aims to help women show off their curves as it consists of a lot of skintight designs that create a "really flattering silhouette" on the wearer.

The collection ranges from sizes of a UK 6 to a UK 18, and Beckham said, "The curvier you are, the better my VB Body dresses look." She had previously announced the line on her social media and said she and her team "meticulously designed" all the pieces "to flatter the body" and look "great on all different shapes and sizes."

Beckham also said that the clothing pieces include skirts, dresses, and tops that are made from a "really tight-knit jersey" that clings to skin and the "parts of our bodies we want to celebrate."
