10 Years In The Life Of...Victoria Beckham
From her phenomenally successful fashion line to her trailblazing style and hilarious tweets, see why we think Victoria Beckham has defined the last decade.
PA Photos2003: Fashion Loves Her
Despite her 'Posh' nickname, 2003 saw Victoria Beckham become even more recognised by the fashion industry for her signature look - she was named a brand ambassador for Dolce & Gabbana, and became the face of Rocawear, along with Naomi Campbell.
PA Photos2004: ...And She Loves Fashion
Victoria has been a fashion designer for longer than you think - she actually started her fashion career co-designing jeans, skirts and knits with Rock and Republic in 2004.
“I’ve always been interested in fashion...It’s something which comes very naturally to me" she said at the time.
PA Photos2005: She's family-orientated
Despite her hectic career, when VB needs to take time out, she does. 2005 was a quiet year for the star as she gave birth to her third son Cruz.
She has also stressed how important it is to be around for her kids, commenting;
“I don't have a nanny or a housekeeper, and I only have a cleaner for one hour each week. I finish work and go home. I cook the dinner. I run into Tesco and do the housework in the evening.”
PA Photos2006: She's Business Savvy
In 2006, VB split from Rock and Republic. But that didn't mean her fashion career was over. Instead, Victoria launched her own denim line, dVb style, an eyewear range (a smart move for an avid sunglass-wearer like herself), AND the Intimately Beckham fragrance line.
PA Photos2007: Coming To America
When David transferred America to play for LA Galaxy, Victoria's move stateside was marked by the tongue-in-cheek 'Coming To America' documentary (where she coined the term 'Major!'), and she quickly befriended half of Hollywood - counting Eva Longoria , Katie Holmes and Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith as star pals.
Not that she was forgotten in Blighty. VB also won two British Glamour magazine awards, for Woman of the Year and Entrepreneur of the Year in 2007.
PA Photos2008: Reuniting with the Spice Girls
VB doesn't forget where she came from - despite moving leaps and bounds ahead of the other Spice Girls in terms of career, she's always been willing to reunite with the girls when needed - like at their reunion tour in 2008, and at the 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony.

From the 'Pob' to this cute pixie crop, when Victoria Beckham changes her hair, the nation follows suit.
Rex Features2010: Her Off-Duty Style
She's the best ambassador for her brand, wearing her designs ALL the time (unlike many other celebrity designers). And you can always count on VB to bring good airport style - sadly we never look like this emerging from Heathrow Terminal 5.

As soon as the Beckhams had a baby girl, we knew she'd be the best dressed celebrity tot around (sorry, Suri). These Mother/Daughter almost-matching outfits are just too cute.
PA Photos2012: Her Fashion Empire
A former Spice Girl turned dress designer COULD have been a fashion designer. But since she launched her dress collection in 2009 at New York Fashion Week, both her main Victoria Beckham line and Victoria by Victoria Beckham diffusion line have been a huge success critically (she's won a British Fashion Award and her shows always receive great reviews)and commercially. Hollywood also love her designs (buoyed by her bevy of A-List mates). Then there's the sunglasses line, perfumes, denim, handbags - VB's fashion empire is ever-growing.
2013: Her Social Media Savvy
One of our favourite celebs on twitter, Victoria pokes fun at herself and offers a behind-the-scenes peek at her world on the social networking site.
