Victoria Beckham admits Spice Girl nickname ‘Posh’ wasn’t her first choice
In a lengthy yet honest Instagram post Victoria Beckham paid tribute to the Spice Girl ‘Posh’ nickname she was given by Peter Loraine of Top of The Pops Magazine
Victoria Beckham has revealed that her Spice Girl nickname ‘Posh’ wouldn’t have been her first choice.
The 46-year-old rose to fame after the success of the pop group back in the 1990s.
Now, despite choosing to distance herself from the nickname, she talks of her appreciation for the confidence it gave her to be the businesswoman she is today.
She paid tribute to the name on Instagram to her 28.7 million followers in a long and honest post, saying: “I was given the name Posh in 1996 over lunch with Peter Loraine of Top of The Pops Magazine and the rest of the Spice Girls.
“I can’t say it would have been my first choice, but ultimately grew into it on my own terms.
“I was young and shy, and being Posh helped me find my style and confidence, and my voice.”
She went on: “After the Spice Girls I distanced myself from the nickname because it had unwavering momentum of its own.
“I wanted to find my own direction.”
Explaining why she’s brought it back, she said: “Now, years later, I look back at the formative time with appreciation.
“Posh forever changed the course of my life, opening the door for me to go after my dreams.
“This week I celebrate Posh with the launch of Posh lipstick. It is deeply personal – lipstick has always given me confidence when I needed it and extra spice when I already had it.
“Each shade is inspired by a specific memory, and whilst the moments may have been my own, the energy and emotion is shared by us all.
“This is an ode to our lifelong journeys of self discovery as women.
“Posh is back.”
