Victoria Beckham celebrates her 38th birthday this week. Almost two decades in the spotlight have seen her evolve from pouting pop princess to Hollywood yummy mummy.
Victoria Adams auditioned to join the all-girl group that was to become the Spice Girls in 1993.
Three years later the band's first single raced to the top of the charts and the girl from Hertfordshire was dubbed 'Posh Spice' a nickname that was to stick.
Her marriage to David Beckham took Victoria's celebrity to a new level, and Brand Beckham was born - although even that wasn't enough to make her smile.As her musical career waned, she was able to indulge her passion for fashion, modelling for designers including Maria Grachvogel and Roberto Cavalli.
In 2007 she launched her DVB denim range - an interesting choice for a woman who is rarely seen in something as scruffy as a pair of jeans - and from then on design became her primary focus.
Today, Victoria Beckham is a popular designer in her own right, known particular for her range of elegant dresses. A growing list of celebrities have been seen recently wearing her designs, from Trudie Styler, Catherine Jenkins and Drew Barrymore, to former band-mates Melanie Chisolm and Emma Bunton.
