Posh Stays Posh: Victoria Beckham Sports Heel Despite Broken Foot
Leave it to Victoria Beckham to make a walking boot look impossibly chic. The designer and former Spice Girl has always favored sky-high heels over sensible flats, and not even a broken foot could compel her to abandon her signature look.
On a recent evening out in London, Beckham was spotted expertly navigating crutches in one Alaïa slingback pump. Her other foot was encased in a medical boot following a fracture sustained during a particularly vigorous gym session. While most would opt for two flats in her situation, practicality has never been Posh Spice’s strong suit.
“I beyond hate ballerina flats,” she has said in the past. “I love heels. I hate my feet – they are the most disgusting thing about me.”
It was husband David Beckham who first revealed Victoria’s injury earlier this week, posting a photo of her foot in a boot and joking about the size of her swollen toe. Later, Victoria shared that she had taken a painful tumble in her home gym, landing awkwardly and breaking a bone. Trust Posh to turn an injury into an opportunity to showcase her signature sleek, sexy style.
Ever the supportive spouse, David has been gently poking fun at his wife’s misfortune, while also pampering her as she recovers. Victoria for her part seems to be taking it all in stride, poking right back at her husband in her signature dry wit.
“Apparently my wife’s little accident was a clean break,” David wrote on social media, downplaying the severity of the situation in a very David way. He went on to tease Victoria about the size of her toe while she iced her foot – because what are husbands for?
Though she may be temporarily out of commission in one shoe, Victoria is certainly never one to let an injury hamper her commitment to high fashion. Other mere mortals might opt for the comfort of sneakers or slippers, but for Victoria, compromise has never been her strong suit. She built an empire out of refusing to water down her own bold sensibilities. So naturally, she paired her medical boot with a staggeringly high heel on her good foot for her latest outing.

For two people with such oversized public personas, their gentle ribbing of each other reminds us that in private they are just an ordinary couplevery much in love after 23 years of marriage.
“How big’s your toe? Wow. I never noticed that before,” David teased on social media. We can’t help but laugh along with these two, knowing this is likely just the latest installment in a lifelong pattern of affectionate spousal trolling.

While her injury heals, we can likely expect more hilarious social media exchanges between the Beckhams. Fans are hopeful Victoria will take it easy while on the mend – perhaps even warming up to the idea of flats, just temporarily. But we won’t hold our breath. After all, for Victoria Beckham, fashion always comes first – even with a broken foot.
