Victoria Beckham looked fresh and natural on the cover of Allure's March issue, which is also its special 20th anniversary edition! She posed for photographer Michael Thompson for the accompanying spread, and make sure to check out a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot! Victoria's been busy prepping her latest collection for Fashion Week — make sure to enter our Twitter contest to win a pair of Victoria-designed sunglasses! Now that her show is over, Victoria can get back to focusing on her husband and growing family. She opened up in the interview about her boys, her work, and her home life. Here's more:

On her home life: "Our house is a really happy house. There are kids running around and laughing and joking. I smile so much more than people would think."
On being comfortable in her own skin: "For the first time, I feel like what you see is what you get. This is me: the more natural hair, the slightly more relaxed way of dressing. I feel really content personally and professionally. I'm not freaked out about getting older. I'm growing older with the most amazing man I've ever met — with my soul mate. Life's great."
On her diet and exercise: "I'm not one of those people who can't eat carbs. I eat a lot. I do. I run four miles a day on the treadmill. I know that works for me, so I've kind of trained myself. I do lift weights. I'm not very good at soccer."

all the girls out there that are talking crap about her weight are nothing but jelouse, you would die to look half as good as her. Im 25 and have weigh 45k and im 167cm tall, so i am TINY. I eat hungry jacks and macdonlads for breakfast lunch and dinner, i never go to the gym or run I am lazy as hell, and you know why? its called GENES. I have a very fast metabolism and what ever I eat i shit out straight away!!! My old ladys weight was 47k after two kids, so stop talking crap about her and leave her alone!!

She looks lovely in the pics! And I do believe her - I have a similar fitness regime, I don't pig out, my metabolism is high and I've been skinny all my life. So yes, it's doable :)

I believe everything she said. Running 4 miles on threadmill daily will help you lose lots of weights if you don't eat and certainly keep you at same weights if you eat. Unless you pig out, otherwise, I believe if you still eat and run 4 miles daily then you will still lose weights. It's smart to still eat (unless you don't like to eat otherwise life is too short, ppl.) but in moderation and exercise. I prefer the whole in-moderation package thing than doing one and not doing the other...

She's so beautiful on these pictures. That's how I like to see VB, not the ice queen/skeleton version.

I run 5 miles every other day. i eat everything in the book. i only gained 19 pounds when i fot pregnant. Went into the hospital at 137 pregnant came out of the hospital 3 days later afet giving birth at 122. 2 weeks later I was 117. I am 5'7 and I eat everything. So yes I do believe you can be skinny and those models do lose the weight fast without lipo sucking. Im a regular person and I did it. So anyone can do it. Imagine If I wan eating healthy? I would look so much better.

this more natural look is really working for her. ya know, i'm more inclined to believe she actually does eat because running 4 miles a day is definitely a decent work out. if i ran 4 miles a day i'd be tiny too!

why is it surprising? a lot of people eat a lot of food, they work out and they are fit...

I like that she runs and lifts weights to stay fit. Some women always looking for that magic pill or diet and exercise fad to get in shape. Running and weights will do it. 4 miles on a treadmill will burn about 500 calories. Depending on her weight training she'll burn another 200 or so. All in about an hour. That's how you do it. And that's how she develops great legs and is able to balance and walk in sky high heels comfortably. If she runs 4 miles a day then she is burning calories and keeping her metabolism high. I bet she's always done that and never gotten out of shape. So yea, I can see how she is able to eat what she wants.
