Victoria Beckham cut her hair!
Spotted at the Marc Jacobs show during New York Fashion Week with a new ’do only slightly longer than a buzz cut, Posh Spice looked less like Audrey Hepburn and more like George Clooney. It probably wasn’t the smartest move to debut a new look during one of the most aesthetically critical weeks of the year. Or was it?
Audrey Hepburn, NOT Victoria Beckham
Regardless of whether you think she deserves her style icon status, Vicky Becks has an undisputed talent for getting people to talk about her looks. Whether it’s her weight, her skin, her breasts, or in this case her hair, this spicy singer leads people to discuss all things aesthetic. What’s odd is that this visual fascination doesn’t seem to translate into sales for her apparel brand, DVB. It’s a situation many celebrities have found themselves in as of late—capitalizing on their status as style icons by manufacturing a clothing line, only to witness the line’s demise due to poor sales and little interest. I guess you have to give consumers some credit for knowing they aren’t going to look like Victoria Beckham simply by wearing an overpriced dress she designed. Maybe she ought to look into making a workout video or endorsing a psychic hotline…
