Whoever said that Ugly Betty actress Victoria Beckham is a stiff person who doesn’t know how to have fun may be mistaken: it seems like the former Posh Spice has a dorky side to her, after all.
Victoria Beckham’s Rare Playful Side
Victoria, infamously known as “the one who doesn’t smile” — which was adorably debunked by her husband David Beckham — let her hair down a bit in May 2016 and documented it all on her Instagram.

A Cameo on Ugly Betty
Nine years earlier, she portrayed a fictionalized version of herself in “A Nice Day for a Posh Wedding,” the seventh episode of the second season and the 30th episode of Ugly Betty overall.
The episode aired on November 8, 2007, when Victoria Beckham was 33 years old. She celebrated her 33rd birthday on April 17, 2007.

She wore a tight-fitting Vera Wang dress and Givenchy high heels as one of the bridesmaids of Wilhelmina Vivian Slater (played by Vanessa Williams).
“Oh, Willie and I go way back. She’s practically my second mum,” Victoria Beckham says in the episode. She was reportedly paid £70,000 for her one-off appearance!

Victoria looked like her usual poised self on the red carpet of France’s 69th annual Cannes Film Festival, but what went down behind the scenes was much more entertaining.

Although the long pants draped over the Gianvito Rossi pumps might not be everyone’s favorite look, Victoria Beckham’s impeccable style allows her to confidently make bold fashion choices.
