Love It or Hate It? Victoria Beckham's Spiky Crop

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Never one to play it safe, Victoria Beckham has experimented with both colour and cut in her hairstyles. She's gone from brunette to blonde and back again whilst rocking long and short styles. Now, the beauty chameleon has really gone for the chop with a new spiky hairdo.

After channelling Audrey Hepburn with a fancy up do, or wearing her bob slicked down, She's now been spotted with this short, spiky little number at the Marc Jacobs show at New York Fashion Week.

It's part sassy, part grown-up glamour. What do you think of her new style?

Love It or Hate It? Posh Gets a Trim For Marc Jacobs

BellaSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 20:45:25 -0700

The fashion-y types were at Marc Jacobs tonight, but look who stole the attention from the clothing. If you thought Victoria Beckham looked like Audrey Hepburn before, check out this Sabrina-esque crop on her. It's so gamine, and if anyone can wear this fringey cut well, it's this risk-taking, trend-setting fashion icon.

At first glance, I wasn't crazy about it, but now I kinda love it. What do you think? Will this be another "Posh bob" craze in the making?

Last night, Victoria Beckham was among the people who raised more than $4 million to fund AIDS research at the Elton John AIDS Foundation soiree. She looked uh-may-zing in a dress of her own creation (!) and proves that short hair can be ubersexy. Turns out that the dress provided inspiration for hair stylist Ken Paves.

David Set To Make His AC Milan Debut After Dubai Dinner

PopSugarUK — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:00:00 -0800

David and Victoria Beckham were in Dubai last night, for dinner with the team and surrounding staff from AC Milan - who he is currently with on a short-term loan from LA Galaxy. Victoria looked pristine as ever in her LBD, and jewelled hair accessories, while David looked dressed down in a polo shirt that showed off his tattoos. The squad are at training camp in Dubai at the moment, and coach Carlo Ancelotti has announced that David will be making his debut for the team in a friendly against German side Hamburg tomorrow. He said:

"...there has been a lot of curiosity surrounding David Beckham. And I can calmly say that he is available and that he can therefore play. The past few days he has been working hard and I've noticed his commitment to showing that he wants to play for the team."

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see David out on the pitch!

Victoria Keeps Her Clothes Zipped And Her Mouth Free

PopSugarUK — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:00:00 -0800

After spending Thanksgiving with the Cruises in New York, the Beckhams are back to work. While David makes friends in New Zealand, Victoria has returned to our shores in one of her own creations to launch her new line of dresses at Selfridges. My girl FabUK has got the full quirky hide and seek advert for the zippered frocks, and Victoria's been busy promoting them by chatting with The Times, saying:

"I put it all on myself and walk around in it, and I know what feels comfortable. I know how a dress should sit. I've worn so many in the past and when I see the photographs I think, crikey, my boobs are up round my neck again because the corsets are too short and not cut high enough. Like I knew I would spend a lot on the best-quality zips because, like many women, I've had my share of crappy zips. I wanted a zip that undoes from both ends because then you can either put the dress on over your head or, if you don't want to mess up your hair, you can step into it - and also, you know, going to the loo wouldn't be this whole big palaver."

Victoria also chatted about the similarities between David and Gordon Ramsay. To find out what she had to say, just read more.

Victoria said she's "very good at visualisation", and she's not the only one:

"I was talking to Gordon Ramsay and David about this the other day and they're the same. Gordon visualises a meal, then figures out how to prepare it. David visualises the goal. I'll lie in bed and think, what kind of look do I want to go for tomorrow? Then I find the pieces in my mind to create it."

After recent allegations of an affair, that's not the only thing the men have in common of course, so who better to with offer Tana advice than Victoria.

How to: Victoria Beckham's Pixie Crop

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 06:00:00 -0700

Victoria Beckham's new gamine crop gives her a younger, sassier look that wowed the crowds at the Marc Jacobs show. Victoria loves to experiment with her hair and this spiky style looks gorgeous on her, partly because it was tailor-made to suit her face shape and body.

Victoria's new cut is the work of celebrity hairstylist Garren who apparently chopped Audrey Hepburn's iconic crop, as well as creating short looks for the likes of Linda Evangelista and Mia Farrow.

Jacqui Weaver, Creative Director at Fish salon in Soho, London advises "The crop best suits people with good strong cheekbones and small pixie-like features. Posh pulls this cut off as she has lovely high cheekbones and it enhances her swan-like neck."

The pixie crop is also super versatile, as it can be worn sleek or spiked up. Here's some easy styling tips to re-create Victoria's look of the moment: Just read more:

Work with product to really show off the texture. A messed-up, dishevelled do generally looks younger and sexier.
Use hair wax to add definition to the pixie cut. Try Play Fish Sculpt & Define Wax, (£5.49), for extra texture.
Rub a small amount of the wax vigorously between palms and apply to damp or dry hair. Then simply finger style for a mussed-up effect.
Short hair can be incredibly low maintenance but if you're using lots of product you'll need to wash it every day with a nourishing shampoo. I like Charles Worthington Brilliant Shine Takeaways Shampoo, (£1.65). This way you start with a clean canvas each morning for styling your hair.

Victoria Is Dressed to Impress and Sell Dresses in the UK

PopSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:30:14 -0800

Victoria Beckham arrived in London today transported by an Air Harrods helicopter. Surrounded by friends, Victoria was definitely showing off some of that street style she's famous for, looking ready to make appearances in the UK to promote her dress collection. She recently granted an interview to chat about her line, opening up about her well-mannered boys, her career, and her famous American pals. Here's more:

On getting ready to debut her collection: "I was so nervous that for days before I drank loads and loads of water. God, I'm square.”
On avoiding rumors: "I'm just really happy. I wake up every morning and I think I'm so blessed. I don't read the stuff that's written about us. I'm not interested in gossip. Some of the people that I'm friends with in America - you know, Tom and Katie - they get it too and we laugh about all these stupid things."
On doing things her way: "I don't really care what people think. I never made friends easily. For years, when I was in the Spice Girls, those were my four best friends and we stuck up for each other. Now I've got David. Nothing has ever come particularly naturally to me. It's made me a hard worker and very disciplined. I get that from my dad."

On her career's evolution: "Being in the Spice Girls, fashion-wise probably didn't open any doors. If anything it shut doors and I've had to bang them down.”
On her design process: "I put it all on myself and walk around in it, and I know what feels comfortable. I know how a dress should sit. I've worn so many in the past and when I see the photographs I think, crikey, my boobs are up round my neck again because the corsets are too short and not cut high enough. Like I knew I would spend a lot on the best-quality zips because, like many women, I've had my share of crappy zips. I wanted a zip that undoes from both ends because then you can either put the dress on over your head or, if you don't want to mess up your hair, you can step into it - and also, you know, going to the loo wouldn't be this whole big palaver."

It's always a treat to hear Victoria open up about her family and friends, and it's great to hear her cracking jokes and being her fun self. With her boys in LA and David in New Zealand, it looks like she's got lots of friends around to keep her happy and busy while she's in the UK.

Leave it to Victoria Beckham to treat us with looks that delight and mystify at the same time. Whether it's a sleek vinyl hair accessory or a slew of long to short styles, the former pop singer keeps us on our toes.

Today, Beckham was out in Milan sporting an unusual multihued headband with layers of magenta-toned bows atop of layers of red bows. Two bejeweled brooches added to the whimsy.

To keep the look more toned down, she paired the bold with the simple, sporting a chic black dress with black accessories. What are you thinking of her crimson headband? Does it dazzle or does it frazzle?

After showing the love for Marc Jacobs at his Fashion Week show, Victoria Beckham cozied up to her designer friend at a party celebrating Jennifer Hudson's upcoming album last night. You're all loving her new super-short hair, and Posh is enjoying her new look too. She said, "I wanted to pull my hair back from my face and have always loved the idea of having a gamine crop. I spent a long time looking at the great fashion haircuts of the 90's and went to Garren, the master of those cuts, to create our modern interpretation of this look. I love it!" Obviously the runway looks aren't only the talk of the town in NYC this week, so be sure to check out Fab and Bella's coverage as well as our blog about all the front row sightings.

Jennifer Lopez Shocked by Posh's Chop

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Jennifer Lopez has been really busy recently, what with the launch of her new perfume for men and partying at Milan Fashion Week. She's also revealed that she was stunned when she first saw her friend Victoria Beckham's new hair cut.

According to rumours, Jennifer has been saying she had no idea Posh was going to go for such a drastic change. According to Marie Claire, J-Lo admitted "I was so shocked. I arranged to meet up with her the day she had it done." It seems Posh had kept her hair plans a secret. J-Lo revealed "She didn't tell me what she was doing, so I turned up and there she was with this incredibly short black hair. I was knocked out!"

Jennifer, who isn't known for making drastic style changes, particularly in terms of her hair cut and colour was obviously impressed by Victoria's daring pixie cut. She added "I told her she looked like Audrey Hepburn. I think she's such a great girl."

How about you, do you agree with J-Lo or are you not a fan of Posh's gamine cropped hair cut?
