Victoria Beckham reveals why she removed her nineties boob job

Victoria Beckham has revealed she removed her nineties boob job in a bid to be taken seriously in the fashion world.

In her new Netflix documentary, Victoria, 51, admits she went onto regret getting her breast implants shortly after her famous Baden-Baden WAG era.

In 2006, the world became transfixed when the wives and girlfriends of the footballers descended upon Baden-Baden, causing chaos with their outlandish antics and show-stopping outfits. 

Then, Victoria – undeniably queen of the WAGs – was seen partying with the likes of Coleen Rooney, Cheryl Cole and Toni Terry and reflecting on the moment, she confessed: ‘It was fun! I had big boobs, I had big hair.’ 

But if she wanted to be taken more seriously in a new industry she had never before dipped her toes in, Victoria said the boobs had to go. 

The fashion designer revealed her close friend and fellow designer Roland Mouret, who features in the show, was behind her move to get them removed.

Victoria told The Sun: ‘I don’t know where those boobs went, but they went. It was definitely working with Roland that did it. He’s so great and I wouldn’t have a career if it wasn’t for him.

‘It came from a need to be taken more seriously and me not knowing who I was. And so I think it was Roland that encouraged me to just be me — not feel I had to be that person. To just tone it down. 

‘And I think the nice thing about it is, then, I could just show myself through my collections.’

Victoria previously denied that she had undergone plastic surgery after she suddenly transformed from her natural 34A to a 34DD overnight but came clean in 2017. 

Speculation that the former Spice Girl had gone under the knife to enhance her cleavage first began in the 1990s, before her biographer Andrew Morton revealed the star visited a London clinic for breast implants following the birth of her first son, Brooklyn, in 1999. 

In 2014 Victoria discussed her fake boobs with the magazine as she confessed: ‘I don’t have them any more. I think I may have purchased them.’

According to her biographer, the initial enhancement surgery nearly 15 years ago set her back £10,000 and in 2001 it was reported she had a second operation to enlarge her bust size to 34DD.

The designer is said to have had her first boob job in 1999, followed by another in 2006, before finally getting them reduced in 2009 and telling US Vogue, ‘Torpedo bazookas, gone!’

Publicly, Victoria always denied going under the knife and in September 2001, she insisted her inflated look was down to tape and push-up bras.

In an interview with Piers Morgan for the BBC’s Tabloid Tales in April 2003, she said: ‘I’m completely natural, except for my fingernails and I have a bit of help with my hair and a bit of a St Tropez [fake tan] going on.’

However, in 2005 the fashionista’s lawyers admitted that the denials were untrue and that she ‘had in fact undergone breast enhancement surgery’.

Victoria herself has also admitted to cringing at photos showing her inflated bust.
