Anna Wintour reportedly told Victoria Beckham that she would have to remove her breast implants to become “Lady Beckham” and make it in the fashion world, an explosive new biography has claimed. In The House of Beckham , celebrity biographer Tom Bower claims that while the Vogue editor approved of the former Spice Girl’s self-depreciating humour, she offered her some advice to help guide her in the world of haute couture. “Victoria had only just entered the fashion business,” he wrote of the time Wintour is said to have volunteered the remarks.
“She had met Marc Jacobs, an adored New York designer. At his fashion show she had modelled three of his outfits in three hours. “Fashion queen Anna Wintour approved of size 6 Victoria.
Her self-mockery won Wintour’s approval, but subject to her accepting some firm advice. Boob jobs and hotpants were definitely Essex and not East Side. “To rebrand her image, her breast implants needed to be fixed.
” It was at this point that Victoria reportedly said she was “done with music” and insisted that she was “not a WAG”. Bower added: “Fashion would be her new career. “‘I’ve always been the girl next door who got lucky,’ she laughed, but she knew that success was difficult.
Becoming ‘Lady Beckham’, she admitted, would be ‘fabulous’.” Beckham appears to have heeded Wintour’s advice and she proceeded to have her implants removed in 2014. Wintour’s comment was not the only explosive revelation mad.
