Embracing their curves. Victoria Beckham says women no longer want to be incredibly thin — and that beauty standards for women have changed.
“It’s an old-fashioned attitude, wanting to be really thin,” the fashion designer, 48, told Grazia in an interview published on Monday, May 16. “I think women today want to look healthy, and curvy. They want to have some boobs – and a bum.”
Beckham explained that quarantining with her family in Miami, Florida, for a portion of the COVID-19 pandemic helped open her eyes to the way women are embracing their curves more than ever before. “There are a lot of really curvy women in Miami, and they really own it, you know?” she told the outlet. “They walk along Miami beach with not a lot of clothes on, and they look fantastic. They show their bodies off with such confidence. I found both their attitude and their style really liberating.”
She continued: “And as a mother, I loved that Harper was around women who were really celebrating their curves and enjoying how they look.”
The Spice World star shares four children with husband David Beckham: Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 19, Cruz, 17, and Harper Seven, 10.
As she’s gotten older, Beckham has begun to prioritize happiness and relaxed her famously strict diet and workout routines. “It’s not about being a certain size. It’s about knowing who you are and being happy with who you are,” the former Spice Girl explained. “I have found my own balance between wanting to have fun and being disciplined about eating healthily and working out. When you’re younger you fight against that balance, but through being older I’ve reached a place where I know what that balance looks like. I just know what works for me.”
