With a diet consisting of steamed fish and raw vegetables, Victoria Beckham can effortlessly fit into a size six dress — yet she has oddly asserted that her ultra-slim figure is representative of the AVERAGE woman.
The ex-Spice Girl is of the opinion that she embodies the general public.
Years spent dieting have positioned Victoria as one of the slimmest women in Hollywood — even after recently welcoming her fourth child with her soccer star husband, David.
She flaunted her toned physique in a new series of swimwear photographs for Harpers Bazaar magazine.
Convinced that her petite figure is the standard, the fashion designer has opted to use her own body measurements instead of models for fitting dresses for her clothing line.
Every outfit now takes her own measurements into consideration, as she drapes fabric over her hips and bust before settling on the design for each item.
In a Harpers interview, she remarked: “We often joke about our fabulously beautiful 17-year-old model who is six-foot-whatever, and I say, ‘Alright, I’m going to try it on — I represent the general public here.’
“It’s my method. I found it quite challenging during my pregnancy when I couldn’t do that.
“It’s a part of the process. I’ll stand here in my underwear and start draping fabric over myself.”
To curb her hunger, the star munches on edamame beans and frozen grapes — with a glass of low-calorie champagne being her preferred beverage.
At a celebration for the 150th anniversary of the Burberry fashion label in 2006, chef Jamie Oliver disclosed that Victoria opted for a plate of salad instead of the full roast dinner presented.
She expressed: “I’m rather fascinated by Tilda. I find her captivating, very fashionable, and she clearly has a keen understanding of style.”
