In an Instagram post for her Victoria Beckham Beauty brand, the former pop star revealed the origins of her famous nickname while simultaneously, and very cleverly, plugging her latest high-end product. "I was given the name Posh in 1996 over lunch with Peter Loraine of Top of The Pops Magazine and the rest of the Spice Girls," she began. The busy working mother admitted that it wouldn't have been her personal choice of moniker, "but I ultimately grew into it on my own terms." She noted, "I was young and shy, and being Posh helped me find my style and confidence, and my voice."
Although Beckham wanted to distance herself from her posh persona following the dissolution of the iconic girl group, she can now appreciate how important it was for her growth as a person. The fashion mogul acknowledged, "Posh forever changed the course of my life, opening the door for me to go after my dreams." In celebration, Beckham launched the "deeply personal" Posh Lipstick. She gushed, "Lipstick has always given me confidence when I needed it and extra spice when I already had it. Each shade is inspired by a specific memory, and whilst the moments may have been my own, the energy and emotion is shared by us all." She closed her post with a simple message: "Posh is back."
