Victoria Beckham is opening up about the real reason she removed her breast implants.
The Spice Girls alum shared recently that the decision to remove her implants, which she got in the ‘90s, was because of advice she got from her friend and fellow designer Roland Mouret.
“It came from a need to be taken more seriously and me not knowing who I was,” Victoria told The Sun. “It was Roland that encouraged me to just be me—not feel I had to be that person. To just tone it down.”
The 51-year-old added, “I don’t know where those boobs went, but they went. It was definitely working with Roland that did it. He’s so great and I wouldn’t have a career if it wasn’t for him.”

“I’ve spent such a long time after the Spice Girls searching for my purpose and I didn’t know what it was,” she said. “So, I suppose that’s why I dressed in that way. There were a lot of hair extensions, tight tops and fake tan, although I still do fake tan.”

Now that Victoria has established herself in the world of fashion, she sees her job as a way to channel her creativity, adding, “The nice thing about it is, then, I could just show myself through my collections.”
While she has looked back on some of her earlier fashion choices with regret, Victoria still says that she appreciates the memories she got from those moments. She looked back at those times fondly in her new Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham.

I remember seeing one of these wives that had bought so many designer clothes and had so many bags that she couldn’t get in the revolving doors at the Baden-Baden hotel.”
Victoria added, “It was at a time when I didn’t feel creatively fulfilled, so it’s how I stayed in the conversation.”
