Posh is trying too hard to look like the ultimate fashion victim

Victoria Beckham fancies herself the ultimate fashionista, a status she has been pursuing for years – to a reasonable amount of success. Mrs. Beckham – who never misses a chance to live up to her feisty Spice Girl nickname of "Posh" - has often been accused of trying too hard to impress the fashion world on both sides of the Atlantic, with her trademark ridiculously high heels, over-the-top costumes and often arrogant air of self-absorbed preoccupation. Her latest endeavor into the sophisticated world of fashion modeling comes across as equally over the top, as can be easily seen from the newly-released promo shots for designer Mac Jacobs, to whom she is said to have served as muse.

In one shot, Victoria can be seen crouching in fetal position, wearing a silk multi-colored maxi-dress, yellow gloves that reach up to her elbows and sucking her thumb. The other, equally outlandish shot shows Posh wearing different colored gloves and clutching onto a red bag accessorized with a golden frog, which it appears she is about to kiss. If the poor frog were to turn into a real-life prince, Heaven knows what he’d think of the emaciated-looking lady staring back at him – but all of us fashion novices basically have to trust Marc Jacobs and his fashion sense, which doesn’t really come as a comfort for anyone.

Victoria Beckham for Marc Jacobs

The previously released Marc Jacobs promo shots (also featuring Posh) give off an equally disturbing feeling. In one of them, Posh can be seen stuffed head-first into an oversize shopping bag, with only her legs visible to the world at large. In the other, she sports a ridiculous haircut and a fringe made up of black feathers, while at the same time rigidly clutching at one of the designer’s sought-after bags. The general conclusion would be that Posh and her fashion sense would probably be just fine, provided she didn’t try as hard as she’s doing now. A little less "look at me, I’m so glamorous" attitude, a nice smile here and there and less tension in her body language would probably do the thick.
