I smile only when I feel like it – and so should Victoria Beckham

The Observer

September 21, 2025

Like a clap of promotional thunder, a trailer has appeared for the forthcoming Netflix docuseries, Victoria Beckham.

- Barbara Ellen

It follows 2023's Emmy-winning Beckham, about Victoria's husband, former England captain David.

Helmed by Nadia Hallgren, who made Becoming about Michelle Obama, the trailer air-kisses the keynotes of Victoria's professional and personal trajectory: the Spice Girls! The marriage! The money-pit fashion label! Victoria is seen in a T-shirt emblazoned with the words: “Fashion stole my smile”.

She says: “People thought that I was a miserable cow that never smiled. But I do. Don't be shocked.” Too late, I am shocked: why is a woman not smiling such a big deal it features twice in a 90-second trailer?
