Victoria Beckham was back to business on Tuesday stepping out in New York City amid the success of her new Netflix docuseries.
The Spice Girl, 51, looked typically chic in a semi sheer black dress and her signature heels and sunglasses as she grabbed lunch at Estiatorio Milos with a friend.
Victoria’s NYC lunch date comes days after the launch of her latest venture.
The fashion designer was in London last week to premiere her anticipated three part Netflix series, which documents her career highs and lows.
One of the most poignant moments in the series sees the star revealing she has suffered from a lifelong eating disorder, speaking for the very first time about controlling her weight in an ‘incredibly unhealthy way’ and how she hid the eating disorder from her family.
The documentary follows Victoria in the run up to her Paris Fashion Week show in September 2024 – the biggest catwalk occasion she had ever thrown.

Viewers see how the weather left her and the team at her label on tenterhooks as they feared they would have to postpone it.
But it also takes viewers on the former singer’s journey from a Spice Girl, to a WAG, right through to the present day as a fashion designer.
It is nothing if not candid, and at times Victoria’s voice shakes as she holds back tears about some of the more difficult times in her life.
Among them was when her VB label was millions in the red and was on the verge of closure.
After launching it in 2008, she was repeatedly bailed out by husband David which made her a laughing stock.
For the first time Victoria tells of her upset at almost losing the London-based firm and the ’embarrassment’ it caused.
‘This business is everything to me, it’s absolutely who I am but it has been a hell of a journey. I almost lost everything and that was a dark, dark time,’ she says.
‘I used to cry before I went to work every day because I felt like a fire fighter. We were tens of millions in the red.

‘Yes, I’m going home to my husband but I’m going home to my business partner as well and so I would talk to him about it, I had to. He was invested, and I hated it. I absolutely hated it.’
The mother-of-four doesn’t address her feud with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, but he and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, are seen in the background in footage filmed from the Parisian fashion show last year, and there are several poignant photographs and video clips of him as a baby and young boy.
Her other sons appear a couple of times, while there is a scene when daughter Harper, 14, teaches her mum to dance to Chic’s Le Freak at their US apartment for a TikTok video in what is one of the funnier moments.
