Is this the real Victoria Beckham, or is it her wax figure?

I glanced through these photos last night and hand to God, my first thought was “Oh, they made another wax figure of Victoria Beckham! They did a decent job on this one.” Surprise, surprise. This is REALLY Victoria, not her wax figure. I made the same mistake with some Nicole Kidman photos a few months ago too, but in that case I thought the wax Nicole was the real (Botox) Nicole. Anyway, Posh and Anna Wintour (and Hamish Bowles, Georgina Chapman and several others) were together in NYC to promote the “GREAT” Britain campaign, a campaign “that aims to promote the best of all things British around the world.” It’s something about the UK wanting tourism money for the Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, I guess. You can read more about it here, and here’s Vogue’s commemorative photo:

Incidentally, Posh’s latest line (which she’s promoting during NYFW) is getting solid-to-great reviews. There are rumors that she’s going to dress several women for the Oscars too! Something about Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz? I don’t even know if all of those ladies are coming, much less coming and wearing Posh’s designs. Anyway, here and more pics of Posh looking like a wax statue…she seriously looks ILL in the closeups. Maybe she’s just exhausted? Could be.

Oh, and here’s a photo David Beckham took of his wife posing with his New York City billboard. She looks like she’s cupping them. Maybe giving them a little tug too? Goldenballs put this photo on his Facebook page with the sweet message, “So proud of my wife taking #NYFW by the balls.” Cute!

    Wax figure or not, she looks amazing.

    • Ha! says:

      Yeah, she is cute in a “someone throw me a big fat juicy cheezebooger with fries” way. WHRE’S MR. BEAN I ALL OF THIS? HE IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST COMIC THAT HAS COME FROM BRITAIN. Oh well, these pinheads are afraid Bean would eclipse their bloody skinny butts. OH YEAH, WHRE IS GEORGE MICHAEL, DUDES? so, i get it…Adele, Georgy and Bean are not part of their “skinny a$$es” butt suckers club…and i don’t blame them. ANA Wintour is such an ugly human being with no personality whatsoever.

      • Seagulls says:

        Aren’t these all Brits who live in the US? DON’T really don’t know, but maybe Adele, Mr. Bean, and George Michael all live overseas?

      • Euphorima says:

        Yeah! where is Mr. Bean???

      • LadyJane says:

        Skeletal. Sunken eyes, dark circles, looking miserable. I seriously don’t get it. If my daughter looked like this (in about 30 years) I would be seriously concerned. PS only Americans find MR Bean funny.

  2. Sam says:

    Wow. I mean she does look tired, but she is really beautiful. Usually I see her with the make up caked on, she looks very natural here. Now go get some sleep woman!

  3. gab says:

    Looks like she is on her death bed. Eat a salad with some protein on it FFS. She always (yes, always!) looks completely miserable to me. Is that her idea of cool and sophisticated? Yuk.

  4. teehee says:

    She looks somehow even thinner than before– or the makeup just accents how sunken her cheeks are. Normally she doesnt have the shaded eye sockets… LOL so … I think that makeup also makes her look ‘ill’.

  5. Dominique says:

    YESSSSSS. WORK!

  6. Eleonor says:

    To me she looks ill, almost zombiesh. And she still hasn’t got her American Vogue cover. I bet if she could she would throw Anna Wintour under that train.

  7. Jackie says:

    the true look of a malnourished woman.

    i really like her clothing/purse lines, though. very wearable.

  8. ladybert62 says:

    Guess I am the odd man out here but I think she looks awful – she needs a decent haircut – she needs something to lighten up her face – and she needs about 20 pounds on her stick body.

  9. Mimi says:

    Sex with Posh has to be extreme experience. All these bones and sharp edges.

  10. demian bichir says:

    I saw those pictures too yesterday.She’s definitely ILL maybe it’s anorexia?

  11. Ainsley says:

    I saw these pics the other day. She really just looks like she needs to eat and rest for awhile. She just had a baby and she didn’t really even take a break. What’s the point of having all of that money if she looks exhausted and miserable all the time?

  12. lisa says:

    I don’t usual post on her thread. I think Harper is the cutest little thing.

    Victoria poses this same way. Many celebrities have a way they like to pose. But this would be fine in Victoria’s case when she is alone, but she poses this same way when she is with other people, including David and her family. It just looks awkward. like she is separating herself. I don’t think it is a flattering pose in the first place. It looks too practiced

  13. Jaded says:

    She looks like she’s about to faint from a combination of exhaustion and malnourishment. I bet you anything she’s got a serious vitamin D deficiency and on her way to developing osteoporosis. You can’t starve yourself for that many years without it taking a toll on your body.

  14. Sisi says:

    jeebus you can see her entire bottom jawbome.

    The woman really needs some color in her face. Maybe the event had shitty lighting, maybe Vicky needs to eat more vitamins & sleep, or maybe she just needed some blush. idk. So many things could be the reason for her looking so unhealthy.

  15. Maria says:

    I remember seeing a photo of her from a bit before the Spice Girls got hugely famous…she was meatier and curvier, but looked fabulous! once again, approaching middle aged and eating very little. forced lean-ness, nothing natural about it. It’s one thing to be fit, healthy and lean..and another to be so skinny that you look almost boyish.

  16. Jen34 says:

    I know she hates her teeth, but why doesn’t she get them fixed so she can smile? And then she can bite into a big sandwich.

    I think she and David are adorable together, but I don’t approve of the sourpuss look, especially when David and the kids looks so happy all the time.

    • Sisi says:

      As far as I know she also hates her smile. It’s not symmetrical and she gets lines in her cheeks. She doesn’t like how that looks.

      • Reel Wheel says:

        Are you serious? She said that?

        It’s kind of hard to miss the complete superficial vapidity that defines Victoria. But holy self- esteem issues Batman! Refusing to smile because it causes lines in your face and is not “symmetrical”? NEWS FLASH: Humans are never fully symmetrical – only photoshopped pictures are.

  17. Rita says:

    Posh looks a commoner’s mess. She gave the lady in red a fat lip for horning in on the shoot.

  18. Lynnie says:

    Can somebody please help me understand why this woman gets any attention and/or why she is held up as any kind of “style icon?”

  19. Laq says:

    What is up with Anna Wintour’s bottom lip in the close up pic with Posh??

  20. Asli says:

    Damn! Those eyes look dead. Like, rise from the grave, eat your heart and use your bones as toothpicks – dead. Whoa.

  21. benny says:

    She’s gonna starve herself right out of existence. And she’s messed with her face so much that she looks like a monkey/alien hybrid. And that forehead — that’s what happens when you’re malnourished, your hair thins.

    She’s not the only celebrity like this. Don’t these people have anyone who loves them and wants them to get help? Or are they only surrounded by supercial enablers (and that includes their so-called loved ones).

  22. Alynn says:

    The last picture cracks me up! Look at her hubby’s poster background and look where her right hand at! XD

    She is beautiful..she has a perfect life, a handsome husband, beautiful kids, and a fashion empire…and why is it so hard to see her with happy face!

  23. Happy21 says:

    I’m sorry but I gotta say it! She looks terrible. She actually looks sick to me. Whether she is genuinely under the weather or whether this eat disorder/malnourished thing has any legs to stand on. She does not look good. Not even her hair.

    And what’s with her posture? She looks all hunched over, awkward and frail.

    I’m not going to say for her to eat something but I’m sure at this point, it couldn’t hurt!

  24. Nev says:

    she just came off fashion week and has a new baby…looks tired.

  25. BW says:

    What about Anna Wintour’s lips?

    Oh, the humanity.

    • NYC_girl says:

      Very bizarre. Am I the only one who is fascinated by the fact that they’re standing in a loud, smelly NYC subway station with commoners nearby? I wish I could’ve been there to witness that.

    • Agnes says:

      and her HAIR!? i don’t understand how this woman is a fashion anything, looking so busted herself.

  26. Anait says:

    She never smiles…

  27. Hautie says:

    I am mostly offended by the outfit of Anna Wintour.

    It all looks like it is from 1978.

    Seriously… a off white polyester pleated skirt with tan suede boots? With a burgundy and red pullover sweat shirt looking thing on top?

    I hate to think that Anna has went completely batty. But dang, that is a ugly and unflattering outfit from head to toe.

    I do like the dress that Victoria is wearing.

    But for the love of gawd… burn those ridiculous platform shoes.

    I realize that the whole hooker platform heel thing, was popular 5 years ago. But that style of heel just cheapens the looks of her dress.

    Buy a decent pair of heels without the cheap “I dance topless… for dollars” platform.

    Sadly, I do realize goofy Victoria is wearing them because she is desperate to be something she is not. Which is tall. But the ridiculous hooker heels have got to stop.

    • LisaMarie says:

      ITA about wintour’s outfit. Hideous! And I bet nothing involved was less that $1000. Money – it can buy a lot of stuff, but not taste I guess.

  28. Kim says:

    She does look really tired in these photos. i think the eye makeup doesnt help – its a weird red/maroon color.

    I like her personality. Love her sense of humor. The last picture of her holding her husband golden balls from the billboard ad is HILARIOUS!!!

  29. Fue McCormick says:

    I wish she would do a less expensive line of clothing; I really dig her designs.

    • Kim says:

      Me to! I could see her doing a line with Target.

    • LAK says:

      She has put together a less expensive line. It goes on sale at Harvey Nicks tomorrow. It’s about half the price of her usual line

      She’s also given an interview in weekend magazines justifying the cost which is that tailoring would suffer if she made a line that was truly civilian cheap, and she’s not prepared to do that.

  30. Kim says:

    If i could hang out with any famous couple it would be these 2. They have the best English/dry sense of humor!

  31. HoustonGrl says:

    WHAT?!?! She looks deathly ill to me in these photos. Anorexic. Period.

  32. I.want.shoes says:

    My 87-year old grandpa looks healthier and has better posture.

  33. Stubbylove says:

    Cripes – realize she’s just getting off fashion week but holy hell – sleep and eat VB – balance does a body good.

  34. Agnes says:

    she looks like she’s about to faint or something. what the hell? she can afford food – she should freaking eat something.

  35. Maya says:

    She is really bad posture from all those shoes.

  36. blonde on the dock says:

    She doesn’t look any skinnier than CB’s beloved Angie!

  37. Luise says:

    OMG! What an ugly woman. I’ll give her 5 years and her feet will rot

  38. Pizzazz says:

    She looks like shit. Like she’s dying or something.

  39. TheOriginalVictoria says:

    I love me some Posh. And yes her name has a lot to do with it. Who doesn’t love an Original Victoria? But the hair extensions and the emaciated look and the tired eyes…I’m saying I’ve seen better.

    I’m sure even with all the help they have, Harper is keeping her busy still.

    What I want to know is how they could leave out Pierce Brosnan, or is he from the Republic?

  40. Michelle says:

    I think that she actually looks beautiful, relatable, and like a real woman here. I prefer this look, and this hair on her.

  41. Kate says:

    She’s starting to look disturbingly like Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

  42. Vera says:

    I really like her hair like this. I hated it when she kept with the bobs for so long. It’s really lovely here.

  43. Camille (The original) says:

    Wow, Posh looks like hell here. 😮

    The haters can say all kinds of rubbish about AJ looking like crap etc, but come on, even on AJ’s worst day she doesn’t look ill like this (tired at times sure, but with AJ’s lifestyle who can blame her).
    Posh doesn’t look well here to me and you can’t ever say that AJ looks like this (oh unless you are a raving hater/Looniston, see up thread *eye roll*).

  44. HadleyB says:

    Wow all the Posh hate. So just because someone doesn’t smile they ugly, no self esteem, and nasty people? gimme a break.

    Everyone has something ( or several things ) they don’t like about themselves — celebs are no different! So she doesn’t like her smile, that doesn’t mean she is a bitch. From the FB pic David took she has a sense a humor. From the rare interviews I have heard she is funny, and not at all mean or rude.

    I think she dresses great, yes she is a bit thin.. but if she likes herself like that so what? I don’t think she has anorexia.. there is so much more to Anorexia than not eating. So much more.

    The celebs that smile all the time, laugh at the drop of a hate .. are “america’s sweethearts” — are really not. Like Julia Roberts.. Meg Ryan .. to name few..

    Hope her line becomes successful. I think she has worked really hard for it.

    • Tiffany says:

      I agree Hadley B. I have always liked, but there was that special she did a few years ago when they family moved to LA and then I became a fan. Yeah, she like a cool chick who likes fashion and might be a little high maintenance. Oh well, I like her.

      • Annie says:

        She strikes me as being orthorexic rather than anorexic. She’s fixated with dieting and maintaining the same low weight, but doesn’t have the psyhological baggage that goes along with anorexia. She comes off as sweet and funny and a bit shy in interviews. If she was a bit on the overweight side like Coco and put on a big cheesy grin in photos I’d guarantee everyone here would just loooove her, but I guess that’s just not Victoria. People are so superficial.

    Get that girl a sandwich, STAT!
