Victoria Beckham’s Netflix Doc Reveals Eating-Disorder Struggle and Fashion-Label Overhaul

The three-part series reframes her image through unusually candid self-examination.

Overview

  • Now streaming on Netflix, the docuseries follows Beckham through preparations for her 2024 Paris Fashion Week show, directed by Nadia Hallgren and produced by Studio 99.
  • Beckham shares a decades-long eating disorder and body-image turmoil, recalling being weighed on live TV months after giving birth and how media scrutiny fueled unhealthy control of her weight.
  • The film lays out years of heavy losses at her fashion label before investor David Belhassen stepped in, highlighting extravagant costs such as roughly £70,000 a year on office plants plus about £15,000 for watering.
  • Reporting tied to the series notes the brand’s return to profit in 2023 and revenue growth since, with Belhassen’s restructuring aiming to put the business on a sustainable footing.
  • Personal and public-image threads include Brooklyn Beckham’s brief on-screen presence, David Beckham encouraging her 2008 Spice Girls reunion for their children, and commentary from industry figures like Anna Wintour and Donatella Versace.
