He may be a style icon in his own right, but David Beckham has revealed that his wife still tells him what not to wear. In an interview David Beckham revealed there are occasions that Victoria, a fashion designer, will disapprove of an outfit he has thrown together. The retired footballer said: ‘She’s my wife, so I trust her opinion, so if she says I look bad, I’m not going to argue with that.’
David Beckham reveals wife Victoria tells him if he’s made a fashion faux pas
The football star was speaking at a press conference to launch his US football team in Miami when he was asked if his well cut suit was chosen by his wife, who is now a respected name in fashion in her own right. David added: ‘I dress myself, thank you.’ When quizzed as to whether Victoria ever says that he doesn’t look good, he said: ‘Not often thankfully. But yes, every now and again.’ The former England player explained he ‘trusts’ his wife’s expert opinion so never questions her - especially when she tells him to change. Beckham has long been considered one of the most fashionable men on the planet and is currently the face of high street clothing store H&M.
For decades the former Manchester United footballer has pushed the envelope of men’s fashion and was named the most stylish man of the year last year by GQ Magazine. Beckham did not reveal which outfits might have caused his wife to wince though in the past he has committed more than a few fashion faux pas.
In 1998 he wore a sarong in a move that made him a fashion icon overnight but led to him being ridiculed by his teammates. He and Victoria were photographed the next year wearing matching black Versace biker-style leather outfits. Beckham later said in an interview: ‘What were we thinking?’ Beckham, 38, retired from football last year after a glittering career that saw him play for England 115 times, more than any outfield player. On Wednesday announced that he is launching a football team in Miami that will compete in the US league, the MLS. Brand Beckham however continues and he has been modelling and doing more charity work than ever before.
Beckham, who has four children, told USA Today: ‘I’m a busy man, with a busy life and a family that comes first. So, yes, I don’t have to do this project. I want to do it.’
