On 17/9, Netflix released the trailer for the Victoria Beckham documentary, showcasing key moments from her life. The three-part series, set to premiere on 9/10, chronicles Beckham's journey from Spice Girls member to fashion and beauty mogul. The documentary explores the challenges she faced transitioning into the fashion industry, including public criticism and substantial financial losses.
People magazine notes this may be the first time Beckham has shown vulnerability publicly, contrasting with her usual strong persona. In the trailer, she becomes emotional discussing the pressures of her work, explaining that her drive stems from a desire to succeed not just for herself, but for her family. "I want to make the kids and David proud," she says. "It took me a long time to get where I am today. I'm not going to let it slip through my fingers again."
Beckham and David Beckham married in 1999 in Ireland. They have four children: Brooklyn, 26; Romeo, 23; Cruz, 20; and Harper, 13. The Beckhams have recently been the subject of rumors about a rift between them and their eldest son Brooklyn's wife, Nicola Peltz, with reports suggesting the two families haven't seen each other since Christmas 2024.

Beckham's new project has generated significant interest, garnering hundreds of thousands to millions of views on social media. Many viewers expressed excitement about the film and a desire to see a different side of her. Some commented on their admiration for Beckham's accomplishments in her various roles.
One YouTube commenter wrote, "She has really made something of her life. A mother of four, originally a Spice Girl, now a fashion designer. She doesn't have to try so hard. She could easily be a stay-at-home mom living off her husband's income."
According to People, David Beckham encouraged Victoria to create a documentary about her life and fashion career. On the Today show in January, the former soccer star revealed that it wasn't easy to convince his wife, but he felt strongly about the project. He believes Victoria is the true star of the Beckham family.
"She's spent 18 years building her brand," he explained. "She works so hard that nobody would believe. So, I persuaded her to let people see what she does every day, the things involved in her business. Victoria is a very intelligent and hardworking woman. I want everyone to see that."
Born in 1974, Victoria Beckham rose to fame in the 1990s as a singer in the Spice Girls. After leaving the group, she continued her music career, releasing a solo album in 2001. She also served as a guest judge on Project Runway (2008), Germany's Next Top Model (2009), and American Idol (2010). In 2008, she launched her eponymous fashion label, later expanding into cosmetics and fragrances.
