Victoria Beckham breaks down in tears in trailer for new self-titled Netflix documentary
Victoria Beckham has broken down in tears in the newly released trailer for her self-titled Netflix docuseries, offering fans an intimate look into her personal life and career from pop stardom to fashion mogul.
Set to premiere on October 9, the three-part series follows Beckham’s transformation from the “uncool kid” at school to one of the most recognisable names in fashion.
In the trailer, the former Spice Girl becomes visibly emotional as she reflects on the immense pressure to succeed and the desire to make her family proud.

“I’m not going to let it slip through my fingers again.
“I want my kids and David to be proud of me.”
The series promises a candid exploration of Beckham’s life, including her early days as a performer, her pivot to fashion, and the uphill battle for credibility in an industry that initially dismissed her.
“I have never forgotten where I come from,” she says, as archival footage of her childhood and Spice Girls era plays in a montage.
“That uncool kid at school that’s awkward, that was me. But I desperately wanted to be liked, to have a sense of worth.”
The docuseries also features appearances from close friends and fashion icons, including Eva Longoria and Tom Ford, who reflect on Beckham’s resilience and determination to carve out a respected place in the fashion world.
Fashion, Beckham reveals, became her creative outlet, a space where she could express herself and build something of her own. But the journey was far from easy.
The trailer touches on the financial struggles of her fashion label, with Beckham recalling the brand being “millions in the red.”
Her husband, David Beckham, who also appears in the series, admits, “It made me panic.”
The emotional trailer drops amid ongoing speculation about a possible rift between the Beckhams and their eldest son, Brooklyn.
As Victoria candidly discusses her family, Brooklyn’s absence from the featured clips is noticeable.
While he’s not seen in the trailer, her other children — Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14 — all make touching appearances.
Romeo is shown hugging his mum, Cruz joins her backstage, and Harper is spotted in the front row of her fashion show at Paris Fashion Week, proudly watching on.
Despite his absence from the trailer, Brooklyn is expected to appear in the series, according to The Sun.
The documentary comes from the makers of the Emmy award-winning Beckham, which follows David’s meteoric rise from humble beginnings to global football stardom.
