VB Goes Curvy!

I have been trying hard to cut down the amount I write about Victoria Beckham. But she is making it damn hard at the moment! I haven't seen her looking so good in ages. Not only does she look like she has put on a (tiny) bit of weight, which makes her look a lot happier and less harsh, but she is also dressing to make herself look curvy!
Yes, that's right, Victoria Beckham and curvy used in the same sentence, and not as a joke. Just look at what she has been wearing recently: ruffled tops and A-line skirts (note her skirt falls below the knee!)give her a curvaceous figure, and her pencil skirt with pleats gives the illusion of larger hips.
Victoria's amazing makeover is starting to rival Gwyneth Platrow's. You cannot deny she looks fabulous.

I totally understand your dilmea. She is the most written about celeb on my site 102 post.

I saw double skirted pictures yesterday and that ruffled shirt today and I have stopped myself from writing about how great she looks so far, but she will be getting Best Dressed of The Week and it is only Tuesday.

She just keeps getting better - classy + L.A. = hot!!!

MHBass said...

wow, i really love that grey double skirt - does anyone know who it's by? and more importantly, where i could find an imitation?! could have to do a spot of diy...

Isabela said...

her gray skirt is gorgeous and a really different take on miu miu's double skirt, pairing it with that white button down and brown belt makes it a very classic look

Siljesfashion said...

Love these looks, she looks chic.

Cupcakes and Cashmere said...

wow, so impressed with her! that gray skirt with the ruffles is to die for! unfortunately, i think she is still the only woman on whom that would look good since most of us don't need any extra baggage in that area.

nv said...

She's looking a lot better! I'm enjoying the not so skin-tight pieces.

Beka said...

Whoa! Becks, is that you? She looks incredible! Thanks for posting!

Dollfaced Rebel said...

I adore both looks!!!

Princess.Maria said...

i love her skirt

AsianCajuns said...

You are so right! She looks wonderful "curvy." I think she would look even more dolce vita with a bit more weight. Love the ruffle skirt.

catherine said...

i hope this is just the beginning of a trend in that general direction for her, and for all of us....i found it very terrifying that her thin thin thin thin look was so in...

atelier said...

I can't stand her. It just this example of someone who tries so hard to impress, all the time, it looks like she lives only to appear in fashion mags, and that's a bit sad to me, above all, because this is time of effortless chic!

pockets full of posies said...

Francis Girard said...

love love love it - yet again. its about time she used all that money to purchse some amazing individual pieces and mixing it up. she says "style" is her business but till now i was unsure if she had any........ xf

iñaki said...

I was well impressed when I saw her in that double skirt! SHe looked very young and chic in it. You're very right, she's getting it right very often lately. Maybe it's the influence of the States, who knows...

Elisabeth said...

She is slowly but surely improving in my opinion!

The Clothes Horse said...

That pencil skirt with pleats is lovely.

Iheartfashion said...

She does look better in these photos, esp. the grey double-skirt.

She always gives it the old college try. I respect that. She comes up with some winners, too.

la petite fashionista said...

good for her, she could use a bit of weight! i wonder though if its all an optical illusion though? either way, i think its a smart move

Charlotte said...

What happened to Beck? Is this his injured hand bottom right?

ms-mojo-rising said...

The skirt in the second picture looks great! Love the belt with it.

a softer look is so much more complimentary.

AND...

Anna Pope said...

I am not a big fan of Victoria (never was a SPice Girls fan) but her style is amazing. I loved her first outfit the moment I saw it!

yiqin; said...

I never understood why people hated her so much! She has always been my fave since her spice girls days!
