22 Things You Need In Order to Become Victoria Beckham
For over two decades, Victoria Beckham’s outfits have been capturing our attention. She was nicknamed Posh for a reason, after all. But long after the Spice Girls' heyday, Beckham has solidified her role as a style icon in her own right. And even though she’s no longer alternating between slightly different variations of the same “little Gucci dress” from Spice World, the fashion designer never fails to look downright...posh.
Of course, it’s more than just Beckham’s style choices that keep us intrigued. It’s her entire being, from her beauty secrets and pop culture obsessions to her everyday activities (don’t even get us started on the adorable family time she spends with husband David and their four kids). We can’t get enough of Beckham's chic approach to life, and since we’re always looking to her for inspo, we asked our April cover star to spill on all of her favorite things. Scroll down for all of her top picks, from food and fashion faves to the surprising Instagram accounts she loves to follow (seriously, you’ll never guess).

Inspiring Instagrams
“I follow lots of different people, but I find @NASA really interesting. It’s nice to follow people who aren’t in the same industry as I am to get a different perspective on life. And most recently, I enjoy following @snoopdogg. David knows him because they’ve worked together in the past, and I find his posts quite humorous. He’s very entertaining on Instagram.”

Secret Wardrobe Weapon
“The Victoria Beckham Tuxedo jacket. I'll wear it with a heel or a flat—you can dress it up for the red carpet, but you can also wear it in a much more casual way during the day. And it never goes out of style. A really well-made tuxedo jacket is an investment piece that you’ll always keep in your wardrobe.”

Designer I Admire
“I have so much respect for anybody that’s working hard in this industry. You feel like you’re constantly having to create collections, and it’s a lot of work. It would be hard for me to pick a particular designer, but Azzedine Alaïa is an absolute master. I have an enormous amount of respect for him, his brand, and the quality of his clothing.”
