Victoria Beckham Says She Removed ’90s Breast Implants to Be Taken Seriously in Fashion

In interviews tied to her new Netflix docuseries, she credits designer Roland Mouret for encouraging a natural look that supported her shift from WAG fame to fashion.

Overview

  • Beckham said she opted to remove the implants to gain credibility as she established herself as a designer, telling The Sun the decision followed guidance from Roland Mouret.
  • She originally increased her size from about a 34A to a 34D/34DD in 1999, then later had the implants reduced or removed, with reports placing that change around 2009.
  • Her early-2000s public denials of surgery were contradicted in 2005 when her lawyers acknowledged she had undergone breast enhancement.
  • The Netflix doc and new interviews revisit her 2006 Baden-Baden WAG era, which she frames as attention-seeking while she searched for identity after the Spice Girls.
  • Beckham says embracing a more natural presentation allowed her to express herself through her collections and be taken seriously within the industry.
