She had David Beckham’s initials tattooed on her left wrist, but in an Instagram video, where she was showing off new shades of her Bitten Lip Tint, the tat was noticeably missing. Fans quickly speculated that she and David might be heading for divorce.

Victoria Beckham Explains Tattoo Removal

A week following her Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2023 runway presentation, Victoria Beckham visited NBC’s Today show, where she promoted her eponymous beauty line.

Nicola Peltz’s mother-in-law also touched on the issue surrounding her relationship with her husband, David Beckham, and the reason she had his tattoo initials removed.

“They just didn’t look so nice,” she told host Hoda Kotb. “It doesn’t mean anything more than that.”

She went on to say, “I think that the media started to speculate, was I leaving my husband? No, I was just a bit sick of the tattoo. It’s as simple as that.”

Posh Spice added that she likes fine tattoos similar to her husband and children.

“I had these tattoos a long, long time ago. And they just weren’t particularly delicate. My husband has so many gorgeous tattoos and the children do and they’re very fine. And they’ve had them created by the most phenomenal artists, but mine were just a little bit thick and they were bleeding a little bit and just not looking pretty.”

For the show, the former Spice Girls member wore a two-piece green ensemble, of course, from her own collection.

Highlighting her slender figure, Victoria opted for the $490 VB Body top with a contemporary one-shoulder design and its matching $390 midi skirt with a rear slit for ease of movement. The outfit is made from a stretchy compact knit, creating a figure-hugging look.

Adding a pop of color to the sleek and sophisticated outfit, Victoria slipped her feet into a pair of burgundy slingback pumps.

She selected Saint Laurent’s “Chica” pumps, which feature a ruched pointed-toe design made from supple leather with clear PVC side panels and 4.5-inch heels. You can buy them in blue and black at Mytheresa and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Victoria Beckham on Son Brooklyn Beckham’s Marriage to Nicola Peltz

Back in August, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola shut down rumors of a rift between them and Victoria Beckham.

And during her recent interview, the Beckham matriarch spoke about her son’s controversial wedding, saying, “Brooklyn just got married, and it was a beautiful wedding. As a mother, to see my son so happy means so much.” “What more can you ask for?” she added.

When asked about the marriage lessons she taught him, Victoria said, “I think that you can never really offer advice. The kids have to figure it out themselves, you know, but you have to be there, and we’re very close.”

With green as the new trending color this season, it’s not surprising to see Mrs. Beckham in another green dress following her TV appearance.

On her way to BCBGMAXAZRIA in New York City, Victoria swapped her curve-hugging frock for a flowy silk creation, which had a risqué thigh-high split on the center front.

The sleeveless number also featured a plunging neckline and a waist-cinching tie belt.

Creating a monochromatic look, the 48-year-old fashion designer carried a $790 Mini Bucket Bag in Petrol Leather from her collection.

As for her footwear, she simply opted for the black version of her Saint Laurent “Chica” pumps.

More recently, Victoria Beckham was pictured channeling the ‘70s while leaving the Mark Hotel in NYC.

Continuing her winning style streak, the mom-of-four wore the $790 psychedelic wave-printed shirt from her Autumn/Winter 2022 collection. It has an ultra-fitted design made from stretch organza fabric with a ‘70s print in a ‘90s warm color palette.

She paired her top with the high-waisted “Alina” trousers, now selling for $282 at Mytheresa. They’re made from ecru-colored cotton denim, designed with floor-skimming wide legs and front and back pockets.

Victoria wore the same rectangular black sunglasses and gold jewelry for her recent outing.

She then carried a $790 Mini Bucket bag in burgundy leather and rounded out her look with pointed pumps.
