Victoria Beckham may have taken her already-successful career up another notch.
The famous mum-of-four is taking over the world one step at a time. She has already conquered show business as one fifth of the world’s biggest girlband ‘Spice Girls’, as a catwalk model and as a fashion designer for her own label.
Magazine editorial could be the career woman’s next step as she guest edits September’s Glamour magazine, and models on the front cover, double whammy style.
“She of big sunglasses, supercute family, and surprisingly self-deprecating sense of humour… is taking over the world one dress at a time,” the fashion magazine said.
Victoria’s Glamour cover shoot for the fashion magazine’s September issue.
In the cover interview, the former pop star opens up and talks about her work, her marriage, how she reinvented her life, why she doesn’t smile (we were dying to find out!) and why, someday, maybe just maybe, she will have another baby.
Victoria Beckham certainly put her “stamp” on the September issue as guest editor.
“I wanted to put my stamp on the magazine. They were really open to my ideas,” she said.
The British designer said she even made her own list of fashion ‘Don’ts’ for the issue including boat shoes (unless you’re on a boat, she stressed), Bermuda shorts, nose rings, Crocs and nude tights.

The 38-year-old worked as a guest editor for five months at the publication, preparing for the autumn month issue. She was praised by editor-in-chief Cindi Leive for her ideas and effort.
In the finished product, Victoria brought features devoted to runway-ready hairstyles styled for actress Lily Collins, a fashion story on British boy band The Wanted and a beauty section about bold eye makeup.
Victoria also appears on the cover of the magazine in a playful Pamela Hanson shot, appearing naked besides a Stephen Russell tiara, blowing bubbles from a bathtub. Inside, photographs from the shoot include Victoria ready to sip on a strawberry milkshake while dressed in a neon orange body-con dress from her own, self-titled collection.
Editor-in-chief Lieve said it is all part of her strategy to gain a new type of reader.
She said: “Our core readers have responded really well to our redesign. We are grabbing a girl that didn’t consider herself a magazine person before – the 27-year-old who doesn’t want to see anything fake or phony.
“We’re showing a sense of fun and a sense of humour.”

Victoria revealed all in the interview and said she realises people talk about her lack of smiling.
“I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile!”

Victoria said she is halfway through reading the second Fifty Shades book and even bought it for her mum, although she said she avoids the topic when her mother tries to speak about it.
“I don’t really want to speak to my mother about S&M!,” she laughed.

On where she sees herself and her family in five years, Victoria said;
“I’d like everybody to be healthy and happy. I’d like to be growing the business at a steady pace, and to be making more women feel empowered, beautiful, and confident. And I’d never say never about another baby. It’s a juggling act—a career, family, a husband who’s busy. But I’d never say never!”
We must admit, we do admire you Victoria.
