Victoria Beckham is finally revealing the secret behind her famously serious red carpet expression. In her new three-part Netflix docuseries, 'Victoria Beckham', the 51-year-old designer opens up about why she's often seen with a straight face while posing for photos at public events. As it turns out, her signature no-smile look isn't about attitude — it’s all about angles.
Victoria's Secret Revealed
Victoria shared that standing next to her husband, David Beckham, on the red carpet often left her on her right side, which she believes isn't her best angle for smiling. She explained that she naturally smiles from her left side, and when photographed from the right, she feels she doesn't look her best. As a result, she often kept her expression neutral, even though she insists she was smiling "on the inside."

The revelation offers a lighthearted explanation for what fans have long perceived as her famously "moody" look — one that's become part of her brand identity over the years.
In an interview for the October 2025 issue of Elle, Victoria discussed her decision to open up more than ever before in the Netflix documentary. She said that this is the first time she has allowed viewers such a personal look into her professional and private life, including her fashion empire's struggles and the vulnerability that came with sharing her story publicly.

Victoria Beckham on Launching Her Fashion Label
The designer reflected on the early scepticism she faced when launching her label, recalling how people questioned whether her fashion business was just a vanity project or whether her husband was financially supporting it. She admitted that the criticism was based on real financial challenges her company faced in its early years—something she explores in greater detail throughout the docuseries.
While filming her docuseries, the mother of four had to balance intense production schedules with preparing for her runway collections. She explained that she made a conscious decision to ignore the cameras while working, focusing on fabric choices, casting models, and fine-tuning every detail of her shows. Her priority, she said, was ensuring the quality of her work, even while being filmed for global audiences.

Victoria's Personal Life
The documentary also dives into the personal side of Beckham's journey—from her years as a 'Spice Girl' to her transformation into one of fashion's most respected creative figures. She becomes emotional when talking about the pressure to succeed and her desire to make her husband and children proud. The series features appearances from David Beckham and their four kids: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.
Elsewhere in the docuseries, Victoria reflects on her childhood, describing herself as an awkward and insecure young girl who struggled to fit in. She credits music and later fashion as her creative outlets—two worlds that allowed her to build confidence and find her true identity.
