Victoria Beckham is so glad she got rid of this one thing in her life — her breast implants!
In an interview with The Sun on Friday amid the release of her self-titled docuseries, Posh Spice opened up about her decision to ditch her implants years ago. For those who don’t know, Victoria underwent a boob job back in 1999, reportedly increasing her breast size from a 34A to a 34D. Wow. The singer explained to the outlet that she got her chest done because she was trying to search for her identity after being in the Spice Girls for so long and getting into a high-profile relationship with footballer hubby David Beckham:
“I mean, yes, I was a Wag. And a proud one. I think that I’ve spent such a long time after the Spice Girls searching for my purpose and I didn’t know what it was, so I suppose that’s why I dressed in that way. There were a lot of hair extensions, tight tops and fake tan, although, I still do fake tan. I’m not going to lie, it was probably to get attention, because I was searching for my identity.”

However, Victoria eventually decided to get them removed. The fashion designer joked that her implants are possibly “bobbing around in the Mediterranean sea” these days. LOLz! As for why she underwent breast implant removal, she credits fellow designer Roland Mouret for pushing her to embrace a more natural look at the start of her fashion career, saying:
“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.”
And she ultimately felt it was the right decision for her career as she wanted “to be taken more seriously” in the industry:
“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.”
Good for Victoria!
