Victoria Beckham has more hairstyles than TikTok vocalists, but aside from the divisive slanted pob, her most famous chop is from the days of Wannabe, Girl Power, and World Conquest It has to be the Posh Spice Bob that has become her signature throughout.
Anyone who jammed with Posh Spice in the ’90s knew the gist: the black minidress, the pointing hand gesture (or peace sign), and the sleek center parting just below the chin. Bob.
P.A.
Now, a Beckham documentary on Netflix is reminiscing about the couple’s early days, when the “classy Spice Girls” and soccer’s most promising new talent joined forces to become a golden power couple. And, let’s be honest, it’s not just David’s boy band curtain cut that’s giving us the hair spot we need.
From October 1st to 7th (the docu-series was released on October 4th), Google saw a spike in searches for “Victoria Beckham hair.” And we have to admit that VB’s throwback hair gives us nostalgia and inspiration in equal measure. Because despite headlining circa 1996-1998, it feels just as cool, current, and classic, especially now that the ’90s revival shows no signs of slowing down. So what makes it timeless?

What is Posh Spice Bob?
Analyzing the anatomy of the chop, “The distinguishing features of this haircut are the center parting and smooth straight finish,” explains Amy McDonnell, co-owner of Blue Tit’s Leyton salon.
How to get an elegant spiced bob?
Straight strands are a characteristic of Victoria, so you need to start there. “Having the right hair texture is important to show off your style, and this can be achieved through hair straightening,” explains Amy. Next, skip layering and create a one-length look. “The shape is a classic ‘A-line bob’ with no layers. It just takes a little weight off the ends to make sure the bob tucks down nicely and avoids a triangular finish. ‘But when Amy says her A-line, she means a very slight gradient, a little shorter in the back and longer in the front. She’ll be venturing into pob territory – and it’s a completely different era.
