- Hello everybody. (audience claps)
Okay, we are back with Victoria Beckham.
Your name is synonymous with empowerment
and fashion and beauty,
but also a woman that we respect and admire, and-
- Thank you. - On a personal level,
I had had both my daughters, Olive and Frankie.
Frankie was just a baby, she was like four months old.
And Olive was turning two, she had her second birthday.
And I knew that, you know,
'cause both of us were in
different professions at a certain point.
And I think we are not all one thing.
I think we are many different things,
and if we have the opportunity to explore one of those
other avenues, after being in another one
that was working really well,
but you wanna pivot and switch gears.
I knew that I wanted to take a break from acting.
I felt like my kids needed me,
and that I needed to be there for them.
Like, I didn't wanna play a character.
I needed to be my kid's mom.
That was the role of my life.
And I went to London.
And it was the last film I made for many years, actually.
Actually, it was the last film I made.
And one day my daughter went to a park.
And you know, we didn't know anybody there.
And she made a friend.
and I was so excited that she made a friend.
I was like, oh, thank God.
You know, you made a friend here, this is wonderful news.
It turned out to be your daughter Harper.
(audience claps)
- Well, I mean, I have to say that Harper's always
loved playing with your girls
because they're such adorable little girls.
And Harper has really enjoyed getting to know your girls.
- And I have never in my life met children
who are as well behaved, kind, generous, humorous
full of humanity, the most incredible kids.
What's a good parenting advice?
Because you have raised such kind generous kids.
(audience claps)
- Thank you, that's very kind of you to say that.
And you know, it's the greatest compliment.
Because I love what I do professionally,
but for me, being a good mom
is the most important job for me.
I always say to Harper,
it doesn't matter who is the cleverest girl at school.
It doesn't matter who is the prettiest girl at school.
What matters is who is the kindest
and sweetest girl in the classroom.
And that's the most important.
- I got to come over to your house,
your husband, the David Beckham.
(audience laughs) (audience claps)
He made lovies for Olive and Frankie with Harper
with their names on them. (audience claps)
And he supports your beauty line.
In fact, we have a little something.
Do you mind playing the clip?
- I hope Victoria's behaving herself.
My one beauty question to Victoria would be,
do I have this on right?
- Oh my God! - I mean, it doesn't
stick to my beard as well as it sticks to Victoria's,
but just a question. - Oh, wow.
(audience laughs) (audience claps)
I love that
- I've met him, and he seems like
the nicest man in the world, what's he like?
- You know, he's amazing, he's so supportive.
We're both supportive of each other.
And that's why I got so emotional at the show in Paris.
Because I planned on coming out after the show.
And I wanted a great picture walking down the catwalk.
And the minute I saw David and the kids,
and my mom and my dad and my sister,
I just got so emotional, I really did.
Because family are everything to me,
and have them there to support me is just everything.
But an answer to your question,
he's a really, really, really great dad.
He's a fantastic husband.
He works so, so hard.
And I feel very lucky that we have each other.
- [Drew] Okay, so how is Harper?
- She's great, she's really, really great, actually.
She's just started a new school.
And she's so sociable and she loves it.
And she works hard and she's just so happy.
And I think the main thing that we want from our kids,
we want them to be happy, right?
That's what we want.
So she toddles off to school every day.
She's got lovely friends.
- I was reading somewhere that she comments
on your previous outfits from the past, is that true?
- Oh yeah, I mean, she saw some pictures of me
when I was in the Spice Girls and she said,
"Mommy, your skirts were way too short."
(audience laughs) Way too short.
(audience claps)
I know, I know.
But yeah, she does quite often look at the costumes,
you know, and the skin-tight cat suits,
and the miniskirts and the high heels.
- Yeah, it's so funny, when the '90s fashion is so back too.
Is there anything that you still love from the '90s?
Or anything you're like, oh that does not need to come back?
- You know, I think that the '90s always influenced fashion,
because it really was such an incredible time for fashion.
But what I'm hoping does not come back are those
big Spice Girls shoes that they used to wear, you know?
I mean, I didn't wear them in the '90s, the other girls did.
But I'm hoping they don't come back.
- You were always rocking a sexy heel.
- Always rocking a heel.
But the girls used to love these big, big shoes.
So I'm hopeful that they don't come back.
- I do think your fashion is extremely timeless.
- Thank you.
- I do believe that when you put on your clothes,
when you wear your makeup, a woman does feel her best.
And if that is your mission, I believe it is accomplished.
(audience claps) - Thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much, thank you.
You know, it used to be about empowering young girls
and boys in music, that was what girl power was.
And now it's just about empowering women
through both fashion and beauty.
I wanna make women, and men,
feel like the best version of themselves.
That's my goal.
- I feel like you were so ahead of your time, also.
Because your fashion is not overly girly.
There was something that actually made a woman feel
very powerful and a lot of your silhouettes
have been extremely neutral.
You're not like lacy-frilly.
Like, you had a crystal ball of how to appeal to everyone.
And I'm just in awe of you.
I'm so excited to have- - Thank you.
- This conversation,
for you to honor us by coming on the show.
And what means most to you, if the mission is accomplished
of you empowering people and entertaining us,
and being an icon and a beacon
of so many wonderful things throughout your career.
If Mom is the most important,
that is the mission accomplished of all.
Because boy, are your kids unbelievable.
(audience claps) - Thank you so much.
You too. - Thank you.
- Thank you.
- And it's my number one too, all else is so second.
Victoria Beckham, thank you for coming here today.
It is such a blessing to talk to you.
And I'm so glad our little girls found each other
at a time when our family really needed connection.
- Well, thank you so much.
We gotta get them together again.
- I was gonna say- - Gotta do that again.
- Please, I would love nothing more!
- We've got to, we have to.
- Victoria Beckham Beauty Line is available online
at VictoriaBeckhamBeauty.com, we'll be right back.
You would be so proud of them.
