“Ordinary” is one of those words that annoys people and is totally subjective. Along with “normal” and “regular” and “average.” You know what I think of when I imagine a woman who is “ordinary”? 5’5, 150 lbs, brunette, C boobs. What I do NOT think of is 5’8 (5’4 without the heels), 94 lbs, streaky brunette, DD bolt-on boobs, with occasional trout pout. But apparently that’s what strikes Victoria Beckham as ordinary, because that’s exactly how she’s described herself.
She’s married to one of the hottest men in the world, but when Victoria Beckham thinks about her own looks, she refers to them as simply “ordinary.”
“As you can see, I’m a normal-looking girl, and I just make the best of what I have,” Posh told Allure magazine’s August issue. “I’m not out-of-the-ordinary-looking at all – I’m incredibly ordinary.”
In fact, the former Spice Girl, who claims she has hung up her microphone, said it takes her just an hour-and-a-half – dressing, hair and make up included, to get ready for an event. And as for her fabulous looks – she pieces them together on her own.
“I don’t have a stylist,” Posh revealed. “I deal with that side of things myself. If I need accessories, I’ll go get them myself.”

Well it’s great that you’re so down-to-earth and everything, but what the hell? I can’t tell if Posh is trying to be humble or if she really thinks she’s ordinary. And it’s hard to tell if by ordinary she means “I look like most people,” or if she means to say that she looks plain. Neither of which would be accurate. That comment, in addition to her body issues, makes me wonder if Posh has body dysmorphic disorder. It doesn’t seem like she has a very accurate idea of her appearance. Hopefully she was just trying to come off as modest, and she’s aware that the wardrobe/thinness/boobs aren’t exactly average.
Here’s Victoria shopping with son Cruz at Marc Jacobs and heading for lunch at Pink Taco in Century City mall on May 27th. I wonder if she thinks it’s also “ordinary” to have a Birkin ostrich bag, which runs in the tens of thousands of dollars. I’m so jealous. Images thanks to WENN.

Imagine spending tens of thousands on a handbag - and getting it in a hot pink color that really won’t go with anything. That’s rich.
If I ever get one of those handbags, I’ll have to get it in black so I can carry it every day. That’s delusional.
-
she should look at the people around her and then say “ordinary”
-
That bag definitely goes with that outfit.
-
She’s right. Her face is ordinary.
-
karra, she probably does look at the people around her and say “ordinary.” She’s not hanging out with anyone who is remotely typical of anything normal.
-
She must mean she LOOKED ordinary…..before.
-
There is absolutely nothing ordinary about her. The way she looks is completely unattractive, very much below the average.
-
I think Posh is probably a really cool peprson to know. She is honest and totally one of a kind and she seems friendly. I think people have the wrong idea about her, she probably is what most think, a rich snob, with her nose in there air. I like her. And I hope she gets that baby girl she wants.
-
I like her too, Kayla, she seems sensible enough, and they are very devoted to their kids, and seem to be good parents. I hope she gets her baby girl too. Meanwhile I’m sure she’ll enjoy trying for it with the hottest man on earth.
-
Kayla: that was a kind thing to say, Posh does get slagged alot. Posh may have said ‘ordinary’ in the British/Aussie/New Zealand sense of the word…over here when we say something is ‘ordinary’ as in ‘I’m feeling a bit ordinary today’ it means a bit below par, ‘that dress is a bit ordinary’ Either way she meant it, she isn’t ‘ordinary’. She does need to put on some weight and I agree that ‘tens of thousands’ of dollars (US dollars mind) for a bag is pretty incredible. But for her and Becks that’s like one of us pulling a fiver out of our wallets.
-
Kayla: get over yourself. What indicates that she is “honest” and “friendly”? I mean, it’s fine to hope she is, but why defend her on that basis? You don’t know her or anything about her.
-
I think you’re spot on with the Body Dysmorphic Disorder call, Jaybird. Have you seen really close shots of her face? She has a lot of lanugo (hair!) covering her face. More than “ordinary.” She is obviously a functioning ana.
She made a claim that she only eats handfuls of nuts and stuff like that rather than real meals. That’s basic Anorexia 101. How to conquer your hunger without ever actually eating!
Sad.
-
I assume by ordinary, she meant not above average looking. Ordinary. Average. Which is true. She is not exceptionally beautiful and if you didn’t know who she was, you would see her as flamboyant maybe, but not exceptionally good looking (unlike her husband!!)
-
Ling what indicates that she isn’t? And lets be real the entire purpose of this site is for people to comment on other (more famous) people in a purely speculative manner because really none of us, including the people who work for Celebitchy know anything about these people, which is why its called gossip…
-
I don’t think that the security guard finds her ass any sort of ordinary seeing as it seems to have him transfixed.
-
She doesn’t have a beautiful face, no, but her extreme dieting and bolt-on boobs make her look different and more glamarous. When she joined the Spice Girls she looked very average.
-
She was kind of cute in a girl-next-door way before all the surgery. Now her face more closely resembles that of a pig, which further looks ridiculous on her pin-thin body. She’s not average or ordinary in any sense of the word: she’s freakish!
-
Her face is average…..but everything else she busted her ass/pocketbook for! She has style-not my taste but style.
-
She is correct her face is very average and ordinary. Come on I don’t care how skinny you are! And beauty is not about being skinny. For you will see the 150 pound girl with c boobs with a very beautiful face. And besides Posh is very ordinary. She’s not a great beauty so please stop exaggerating just because she is skinny. NOt all Skinny people are absolutely breath taking you know?
-
She is right. She is ordinary in her face. She is not the ordinary typical size. But she is facially ordinary. Brown hair does not make you ordinary.And you will see plenty of Beautiful women who are 150 pnds and much more Beautiful then Posh could be. And what does POSH DO?? I have not figured that out yet? All she does is play rich girl?
I have always thought Posh was ordinary. Scary and the Blonde chick were always the better looking in the group.
-
The only thing to set her apart form others is her clothes- beyond that, lots of people are plastic and she doesnt necessarily look “beautiful” in the prevailing sense… so she’s right…
-
That dress and those awful shoes look like she got em at a Florida tourist mall.
-
no matter what she says people will criticize her..especially ’cause she is a female and she is rich………..and oh yeah her husband is a hunk..i say go girl!
-
I wouldn’t say she’s ordinary, most of the time she looks like a pornographic alien with those bolted on DDs of hers. Plus the only time I’ve seen her dressed down she looked absolutely miserable. But then again she doesn’t smile because “it gives her wrinkles”. She has some mega body issues if you ask me.
-
And those shoes are so FUGLY, why would she spend thousands on a pair that not even a low class Vegas stripper would be is beyond me! (I bet she got them cause they matched that equally FUGLY purse, the color gives me such a headache!)
-
I didn’t think she had a modest bone in her body. I’m glad she knows the truth when she sees it.
-
This particular outfit is less than her best but I would give my left testicle for the rest of her clothes-in particular her accessories….you bitches have no taste.Love marc jacobs!!
-
I think for a fembot, she’s actually quite striking!
-
She looks like an alien cross-bred with a monkey.
-
i love posh - i know, i know…but she seems to not take herself too seriously as an “artist” or anything else. kind of refreshing.
-
I always thought she seemed really nice and funny. I think she’s been pretty down to earth, especially about herself. She makes fun of herself all the time. Ever hear Jessica Alba or Catherine Heigle do that? Ever hear them make ANY joke for that matter?
-
Ordinary? I’d say more on the piggish side….
-
Excluding the Botox and other work done, her face is very plain.
Perhaps better than Jennifer Garner but very plain looking.
Other than that, her awful fashion sense and whatever she has done to her body. she is actually quite accurate.
-
Nan took the words out of my mouth - Posh IS right, she IS totally ordinary. And, so? The only physicality of hers that perhaps is less than ordinary but not quite extraordinary is her unusually slight figure. The skinniness of the bitch is what’s not so “ordinary,” that and her incredible wealth. Other than that, yeah, she owns a fairly unremarkable face and personality, forgettable, even, were it not for the fact she’s so relentlessly publicised.
I mean - You can’t fault a woman for her self-awareness, now, can you? Really, she called it, not us. And she was right! It’s not a BAD thing, to be ordinary.
-
Then why call her a bitch for being self-aware? Why dislike her at all? I don’t understand why people have such a problem with her–if she is too thin, or has body issues, isn’t that something to feel bad for her about?
She seems devoted to her kids and her husband (since I don’t know her, I’m going by the fact that she is always photographed out with her family and she is always complimenting David in public).
She TRIES to do stuff–like fashion and music. Whether or not she succeeds, at least she makes an effort.
In interviews she comes across as funny and interesting.
What is there to hate her for? Being rich? Being thin? So if she were fat and poor, she’d be likable?
Nobody ever has a reason for disliking Victoria Beckham except that she doesn’t smile in pictures.
I don’t LOVE her (I don’t get wildly crazy over any celeb–not even her hot husband!), but I feel defensive on her behalf because there are so many celebs out there who are real creeps (drug addicts, adulterers, drunk drivers, etc.) that it seems unfair to hate Victoria Beckham for no good reason. -
No she looks like a pretentious pig from outer space.
