‘I wouldn’t want to be 25 again’: Victoria Beckham reflects on being insecure in her youth

Victoria Beckham has said she wouldn’t want to be in her twenties anymore because she used to focus on what she felt needed improvement, but now she’s “comfortable” with who she is.

Beckham rose to prominence in the 1990s as a member of the girl group The Spice Girl, but later turned her hand to the world of fashion and beauty.

She said she embraces her looks at 49, but admitted that her husband, former England footballer David Beckham, has never seen her without her eyebrows done.

When asked how she feels about getting older, she told The Sunday Times: ‘I’m comfortable with who I am, I accept the way I look, I make the most of what I’ve got.

“At 49, I feel very good both professionally and personally. I think about how I apply my makeup. But I love how it feels to be older.

“I wouldn’t want to be 25 again. I was the kind of young woman who looked in the mirror and saw what needed improvement, as opposed to what actually looked good.’

She continued, “I’ve always been pretty hard on myself, but because of that, I’ve also always strived to be the best version of myself.

“It’s not about changing anything, it’s about looking at the best version of yourself.”

Today, her signature style has largely been removed from the Spice Girls’ heyday, and through her eponymous fashion label, she’s known for elegant silhouettes that feature plenty of tight, flowing dresses, palazzo pants, and block colors.

Beckham revealed she’s undergoing a number of laser and skin-tightening treatments, but underlined that she’s “not trying to turn back the clock.”

“I think it’s about the little things. The same goes for makeup, it’s about not doing too much, which can really cause aging,” she said.

“I went to an event recently and people had very ‘big’ (crowded) faces. There are some scary options out there.”

However, she admitted that she fell victim to the over-plucked brow style and now drawing on her brows is the first thing she does every morning.

“Over the years, my eyebrows have gotten so over-plucked that if you saw me without it, you’d be shocked,” she said.

“David has never seen me without my eyebrows. They are the first thing I do: wake up, put them on the forehead.’

It comes after Victoria enjoyed a wild night out with her close friends in New York on Saturday.

The fashion designer used her Instagram stories to share a glimpse of her night out.

In one of the photos, Victoria held a phone to her ear and wrote, “It’s me Posh,” while another showed her holding up a peace sign with her fingers, channeling her Spice Girls era.

In another photo, Victoria posed with a shot of tequila in her hand, while her boyfriend Ken Paves made a funny face as he drank the booze.

Letting her speak: She continued, “I’ve always been pretty hard on myself, but that’s also why I’ve always strived to be the best version of myself.”

She joked in the caption, “Yeah, it was one of those nights.”

‘It’s a wrap NYC!!! Great night out with my girls and @kenpaves,” Victoria wrote alongside another photo she posted.

In an accompanying caption, David Beckham’s wife penned her iconic “kisses NYC” catchphrase.

Before the night out, the former Spice Girl shared some snaps of herself looking very different sporting a short blonde pixie cut while getting glam.
