Victoria Beckham is a style icon. The woman we know today is a mother, fashion designer, and businesswoman.
Her style is impeccable.
But the flawless Vicky we see today was quite different in the mid-2000s.
This particular era of Victoria Beckham — 2005 through 2008 — introduced us to a different Vicky: post-Spice Girls, doing her own thing, being swarmed by paparazzi.
She had a docuseries, Victoria Beckham: Coming to America, and everyone was obsessed with her and her husband, David Beckham.
But this was also a dark time for her sartorially. It was a dark time for everyone.
And being the trendsetter that she is means that she took a lot of chances.
Some were cute...
And some were, well...
So, in honor of Victoria, lets take a look back to the mid-2000s style maven that inspired us and helped us become the fashion obsessed fans we are today.
