She once said she’d “rather die’ than be seen wearing a pair of Crocs.
But it seems that Victoria Beckham has had a rather dramatic change of heart as she ditched her usual high heels in favour of a pair of bright yellow rubber boots made by the once-unfashionable brand.
The fashion designer, known for her love of skyscraper stilettos, surprised her Instagram followers by posting a photo of herself in the bizarre AUD$665 footwear.
She let the shoes do all the talking as she kept the rest of her outfit simple in a black midi dress.
Victoria appeared in her element as she posed up a storm for the camera in the eccentric boot which has also been modelled by Paris Hilton.
Back in 2021, Posh was in hysterics when singer Justin Bieber gifted her a pair of $60 Crocs — the divisive footwear once widely panned by the fashion industry.
She told her followers: “Okay, this is so kind of Justin to send me some Crocs, errm I’ve never worn a pair of Crocs!
“They did make me laugh. It is the thought that counts – thank you so much! I’m not quite so sure what to say about this, but thank you. It’s very sweet!”
She then set a poll for 28.9 million followers, asking: “Will I be wearing lilac Crocs?!”, to which the response was tight, with only 57 percent answering no.
“Will I be wearing lilac crocs?!” she wrote. “Well that was closeI think I’d rather die but thank you anyway @justinbieber.”
Crocs are the marmite of the fashion world, with many fans at first teasing Bieber when he followed in the footsteps of rapper Post Malone by announcing his collaboration with the brand.
Despite the ribbing, Bieber’s limited-edition Crocs sold out in just 90 minutes when they launched in October, causing such a frenzy of excitement among fans that the brand’s website actually crashed under the weight of the demand for the clogs.
Meanwhile, a source close to Posh confirmed she will not be reuniting with her Spice Girls bandmates at Glastonbury next year.
Reports had claimed that all five members of the Wannabe hit-makers were set to reunite for a headline slot at the Worthy Farm festival in 2024 to mark the group’s 30th anniversary but the source insists that she would prefer to focus on her fashion label.
However, she has not ruled out a separate “celebratory appearance” with bandmates Geri Horner, Mel B, Melanie C and Emma Bunton although she is not necessarily going to sing.
