Victoria Beckham has said she has learned to “make the best of what she has” – and doesn’t think she’s beautiful.
The fashion designer, 45, said she embraces her imperfections and it took her a while to do so.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: “Do I think of myself as beautiful? No, absolutely not. But I make the best of what I have. I see my imperfections and flaws and I smile: it’s who I am and I’m not going to try to change that. It’s taken me a long, long time to recognise that by 45 years old, actually I’m all right.”
Prior to her fashion and beauty empire, the former pop star previously modelled for designers Maria Grachvogel and Roberto Cavalli, was the face of Rocawear in 2003, Marc Jacobs in 2008 and was British ambassador for Dolce and Gabbana.
Her fashion line - named Victoria Beckham - was then launched in 2008 and last September she set up a cosmetics brand, Victoria Beckham Beauty.
She also opened up about balancing her career with her marriage to husband David and being a mother to their four children.
She said: “I’m very lucky to have a job that doesn’t feel like a job; it’s my passion. So I love going to work. But with the kids, both myself and David are really hands-on.
“Yes, I’m up early working out but one of us will do the school run and we always try to be home by dinnertime. We’re very strict about that when we’re in London – at 6pm we are all together, eating dinner, talking about our days.”
The February issue of Harper’s Bazaar is on sale from Friday January 3.
