During the interview, Victoria Beckham shared, “I don’t know where those boobs went, but they went. It was definitely working with Roland [Mouret] that did it. He’s so great and I wouldn’t have a career if it wasn’t for him.” Victoria expressed that the decision to remove her breast implants stemmed from a desire to be taken more seriously and to find her authentic self. She credited Mouret for encouraging her to be true to herself and not conform to societal expectations.

She candidly admitted, “I’ve spent such a long time after the Spice Girls searching for my purpose and I didn’t know what it was.” Victoria acknowledged that her style during that period was influenced by a quest for identity, marked by characteristics like hair extensions, tight clothing, and tanned skin.
In the docuseries, Victoria Beckham also reminisced about her fashion sense during the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where attention was on the WAGs (wives and girlfriends) of football players. She described this period as a time of exploring creativity and staying relevant in the fashion conversation. Despite feeling unfulfilled creatively at the time, Victoria embraced her bold style choices, including big hair and statement-making outfits.
