Always skinny Victoria Beckham is dead set and determined to show the world that curvy girls have style, too. Even though the size 0 Beckham has previously dieted to fit in her previous fashion collections, the world's most famous soccer mom says she now wants to reach out to the larger gals.
VICTORIA BECKHAM: I DON'T TO BE FAT TO "CELEBRATE CURVES"
When the 36-year-old former Spice Girl popped up on "The View" to talk about her new collection, it was quickly asked how she could "celebrate curves" without having any voluptuous curves herself. The trendy Beckham, known for her celebrity wife status as the chosen one to soccer stud David Beckham, is just as much known setting diet trends as she is for her work on the runway.
"I just want to celebrate a woman's curves," said the mother of three and 52nd richest woman in Britain as saying. "Although...I don't have that many myself."
REFUTING EATING DISORDER RIFF-RAFF
With a 23-inch waist, Victoria Beckham fans are either jealous or highly concerned. When she was spotted walking the streets looking paper-thin, Beckham's waist was equivalized to the size of a vintage-style football.
"Mrs. Beckham's waist is 11 inches smaller than that of the average British woman," reports The Daily Mail. "To put that in perspective, her waist measures about the same size as an old fashioned vinyl single or a football."
But Beckham barked back saying it wasn't so. She doesn't have an eating disorder (though she once suffered from anorexia) and says the rumors are plum ridiculous.
"I am fine—happy and healthy," she said. "It’s irresponsible when people obsess about my shape and size. I appreciate there are young girls and women who look at me as a role model and it is untrue to say I do not eat and I am unhealthy.”
WILL SHE ONLY USE SIZE 0 MODELS?
Victoria also addressed claims that she only uses size 0 models while visiting "The View". She said that she takes her job "seriously" and that was (also) a lie. Victoria just asks that her models be healthy.
"For me so long as the girls are healthy, aren't too young and [are] fit, that's what I'm looking for," she said. "I don't want a really, really skinny model."
As for her size 0 skinny frame? Victoria B. says that's a different story, adding, "I work out, I eat healthily [and] I'm running around after three children."
