Sigh… I really like this dress. Victoria Beckham has been wearing her own designs (LOL, yeah right, “HER” designs) for all of NYFW, and this is maybe my favorite thing she’s worn. I like when she wears bright colors, but the softness of this pink, the simplicity of the cut, the utility of the pockets, the pizzazz at the back with the zipper… it’s good. On her, it’s good. It will look great on similarly built women too – slender women without much in the hips or boobs departments. Put this on a woman built like Sofia Vergara, and it looks like a fug sack. Put it on someone like Duchess Kate, and she becomes the second coming of Jackie O.
Anyway, since you guys have been enjoying all of the Vicky photos this week, I thought I’d give you these. Victoria, once again traipsing all over NYC in seven-inch heels, carrying her nine-week-old baby. The heels are identified as “Christian Loboutin Daffodil 160 platform pumps” – standard-issue six-and-a-half-inch platform heel.
Apparently, Victoria took Harper Seven to FAO Schwartz yesterday. I wonder why? Because Victoria already said that Harper was in heaven in the Prada store – surely, a little fashionista baby would find FAO Schwartz to be exhausting and peasanty? The Mail theorized that Posh was picking up gifts for the boys, though, probably because the boys didn’t come with mom for NYFW. Sigh… that will poor little Harper’s yearly duty from now on. You know Posh and Harp are totally going to end up like Eddie and Saffy from Absolutely Fabulous.

Will someone please explain to me what the fascination is with these torturous-looking shoes that make women’s feet look like hooves and cost thousands of dollars?I am just not getting it.Soon that baby will be snatching her hair, sunglasses, earrings, etc. and end up being 5 and carried like Surly Cruise
I love that she takes Harper with her and cuddles her to her also. Good for you Victoria! If she was leaving her at home all the time we would be saying she was ignoring her. lol!
Actually as shocking as it sounds….platform shoes are easier to walk in when it’s a super high heel compared to just a super high heel. It makes it more stable. But you have to master walking in heels first before the super high heels. I love them, but I also love being 6 feet tall in heels. Haha
I’m tired of these publicity photo ops with babies. Kim K is plotting this same sham (motherhood) next. Who carries a newborn around like that shopping, and in 7 in. heels??? What if she trips, then what? I’m not buying into this mess,
Why doesn’t she just strap on some stilts…those shoes look ABSURD in addition to being beyond dangerous for carrying an infant. WHAT A SHALLOW FOOL. IMO, there is nothing uglier than platform pumps, and these carry that opinion to a whole new level. And while I’m at it, I’m sick of the exposed zipper. It’s all so contrived.
Enough already. Put the baby in a stroller or leave her with nanny. No one goes shopping in 7″ heels, carrying a baby, during fashion week. All of this is for the photographers. We get it, you have a baby…now go to the fashion shows and stop walking all over New York with that poor baby for attention.
I despise this exposed zipper detail! I’m not sure but I think Herve Leger started this trend years ago and Victoria Beckham has claimed it as her trademark. The shoes are awful. Why can’t designers make footwear that actually make a woman’s legs look sexy instead of giving the illusion they’re standing on stilts. Ugh!
I love this dress, and I think you’re wrong. Sheath dresses look great on women with curves too. Look at Christina Hendricks in Mad Men! You can see a girls awesome silhouette.
Doesn’t Victoria have bunions on her feets, all because of her wearing these ridiculous high heels all the time?
But, if any celebrity knows how to carry a baby in 6 1/2 inch heels, it would be Victoria.
I would shudder at the thought of someone, say Gaga, trying to carry a baby in those stupid shoes she always wears.
Sigh i love the baby’s name. Harper Seven sounds like a badass character from a badass movie.
I think it is quite selfish to walk around in these shoes with a baby.. all it takes is 1 misstep, 1 curve of the ankle.. and boom.. both are down… I wouldnt do it, I dont think it is safe.
I just cannot stand the sight of this woman; something about her makes me vomit blood.
“Will someone please explain to me what the fascination is with these torturous-looking shoes that make women’s feet look like hooves and cost thousands of dollars?I am just not getting it”
I absolutly agree with you. I mean, i could like them in picture, but in REAL LIFE, and walking around? That seems just ridicolus, to me. EVEN if you do it whitout carryng a little baby.
I wonder if she pops her boob out to breast feed while she’s at these fashion shows. If she did I could totally forgive the heels and whatever.
🙂
Ok, she probably doesn’t, but if she did that would be awesome! Post makes breastfeeding fashionable! I can see the headlines now!
Hey, if anyone can walk around in heels without tripping it’s Victoria Beckham.
Those shoes are insane. Especially in the nude color, they look like she has hooves for feet.
That dress is beautiful until you see the shoes, and the back. I guess since there isn’t much else to talk about regarding her it has to be the shoe thing. Could be worse. Her little Harper is just friggin’ adorable. People.com actually caught a shot of Victoria (in this dress too) smiling. She looked like a completely different person (in a good way). Probably why she doesn’t smile much in public.
That lil platform in front of the shoe actually makes walking in heels a ton easier not mention makes you look taller. I loves these kinds of shoes. Clubbing or just walking around your city, which is starting to get cold, is whole lot easier with that lil platform. Vicki’s platform is huge though, it does look odd but I still love these kinds of heels.
I can’t say I would walk around in heels while holding an infant. One wrong move in heels, one lil wobbly of your ankle and your going down. So idk about that but Vicki seems to be doing good so far.
Victoria’s fashion show was earlier this week. Why is she hanging around in NYC just to shop? Doesn’t she want to go home to her other three children and her husband? I have never seen anyone purposely stay away from their family for so long just to shop.
I tried on a pair of these massive shoes a couple weeks ago. I think they’re hideous but I thought, “Well, everyone’s wearing them, so they must be great. Maybe I should get a pair to look sexy for my husband!” He HATED them! He also thought they look like hooves, and are just plain ridiculous. Also, I’ve been walking in heels for 20 years now, and I nearly broke my ankle in the 45 seconds I had them on. I have a 9 month old, and would NEVER carry her around in those monstrosities. Doesn’t Posh have some uber expensive pram she can cart Harper around in?
In defense of the master Louboutin, before the daffodils and the altadamas came out, they had a nice small platform, were high and totally walkable and danceable, except for the 6inchers with no platform and super steep pitch. I’m 5’9″, the regular 110 or 120cm are great and I love being 6’3″ in them. It’s sexy. The new ones are ridiculously high. Don’t know if I would carry a baby, but if these are like his smaller platforms, they are comfy.
Sorry, I love them, not this extreme, but in general. Enough to buy 14 pairs. None full price! TPF and ebay all the way!
4 inches is quite enough – when you can’t walk confidently in your shoes then it’s time to move the heel down!
i love these shoes – they are SO easy to walk in. I even did a whole lot of dancing in them at a wedding and my feet did not hurt one bit!
I think the rear view of her bunion in the last photo says it all. I bet her feet are shockingly hideous.
I love a high heel and am renowned for my ability to walk all over town in four inch (non platform) heels. I like a small platform; they look great. But these? Platforms that high shove your feet down into the ball of the shoe (I had to have the inserts that help that, and still didn’t like them). I don’t know why people wear them, and not only that they all wear the same damned shoe. Pass.
This is utterly ridiculous! Yes, I’ve read some bloggers explanations about how it’s “actually easier to walk” in these shoes, but I’m not buying it. Maybe the shoes are ok comfortable, but ONE SLIGHT MISSTEP and Vicky and her baby are GONERS.
She’s doing it for all the attention, of course. It’s not practical (carrying around your newborn baby in 6+” high heels at fashion week in NYC?!). Give me a freaking break.
She’s an attention whore and to me, it’s child endangerment.
Silly woman!
I’d be afraid that I’d fall with a kid in my arms. She’s still trying to be a relevant fahionista with her kid in toe. Crazy.
This is her third child – I’m pretty sure she’s an experienced baby-carrying mama at this point. I was terrified to wear heels while carrying my first around, but did it with my second, and if I had a third would probably do it no problem. On a different note, I like thinking that her big chunky handbag is a disguised designer breast pump. (There’s no way she’s bfing in that dress!)
As long as she looks good, that’s what’s really important. The accessory (i.e., the baby) is in a blanket that complements her outfit.
What a shallow woman.
I love Victoria. I love the dress.
And actually, folks, Harper is her FOURTH child — she has Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, also. 🙂
Notice folks that in these pictures, you see some shots of her with the baby and some without. My guess is she’s not doing too much walking around with the baby. She obviously has a nanny with her that she can hand Harper off to when she needs to do something else. Plus Posh lives in heels so I wouldn’t be suprised if she can actually run in those things. Personally, I view anything over four inches as torture and I don’t know why any woman would want to wreck her feet just for the dubious pleasure of looking fashionable but to each her own.
Hate those zippers. Ugh. Stop with that trend already!
Eddie wouldn’t have brought Saffy to Fashion Week. I could imagine that she dropped her off with one of her hollow-brained employees, Saffy would’ve escaped to her grandmother and would have been promptly separated from skin-to-skin contact by a pair of dish gloves and several generational mores that would never be breached. Saffy would’ve just ruined everything, Saffy always ruins everything.
I don’t know, as silly as she may be, I’m still pretty convinced she’ll continue on in not killing her children. She said it would be like this for a girl, now it is. Be miffed, but don’t get surprised, this frenzy has been ten years coming. And silly as it may be, Fashion Week ends and all goes home to the other nineteen kids. I guess it’s one question, ‘How could you drag your infant around to this?’ versus ‘How could you leave your infant behind for this?’, isn’t it? I tend to believe that the blanket poses a biggest tripping hazard than the shoes, but in the event of tripping, I’ll say there’s a decent chance that someone in this throng of documenters would catch the baby in a reasonable amount of time, barring some kind of pink dish glove mishap.
But as a pink and pockets enthusiast, I’ll give her those for the crazed pocket and longer lighter hair, which, while greatly improved this time by the fact that the length is real are in a style for which I’ve never cared (I’m sorry, sacrilege against the flat top feathery, upswingy at the ear, half-ringletty semi-wave-loose-straighty curl look is a style that takes great hair to pull off, but it’s for an effect that has never been worth it to me. No one else thinks this, I know, I’ve checked, I’m sorry). I just get trapped in frequently thinking that a celebrity’s hair was/would be nicer if darker and or shorter. It’s my
disease.
If you’ve ever worn Loboutin heels, you know. They’re as comfy as heels can get! They don’t hurt, they don’t pinch. They’re glorious.
She rocks them. Good for her for being comfortable enough in them to carry around her wee one!
This is utterly disgusting. I don’t care how much you value your stylishness, there is no reason to carry a baby around wearing shoes like that. Her apperance is more important than her baby’s safety. Disgusting woman.
And her hairline is still half-way to the back of her skull. Lack of nutrition from starving herself or barfing/laxatives. She needs treatment for mental illness. Seriously. I’m not being flippant. This woman seriously needs some kind of intervention. Starving herself, fashhion over her baby’s safety, plastic surgery that she didn’t need in the first place . . . get her some mental health help already.
Oh my God GTF over it. Some women walk better in heels. I know I do. My arches are weird and heels are more comfortable. Plus, if you subtract the height of the platform from the height of the heel, that’s what she’s walking on. I effing love that dress. It’s the perfect blush color.
She’ll be bloody SORRY when she trips over the smashes Harper into the pavement… keep Harper indoors and away from germ carrying people. Newborns aren’t fully immunised against disease
I can do most things in heels and yes Loboutins are comfy for heels BUT one small pebble or crack is all it takes.
I like Victoria and know she loves her heels but i know she loves that baby more so she shouldnt take the chance.
i think vic thinks she has an image to uphold, she puts that on herself, no one else does, no one expects too much from them, relax,.. breath, don’t try to be on all the time… it’s not that serious, after a while, she will tire, no one can keep that up for long if it’s not truly you.
I’m just glad she finally covered the baby up. It’s not that warm out and she’s a newborn. She should have a hat on and a blanket.
geezus….said it on the last posh thread…..dumb dumb dumb..carrying a baby in front of you in heels!
put the kid in a pram PLEASE…at least she remembered the blanket this time
Holy crap, those heels make MY feet hurt! She does have fab legs, tho.
I said it before when she was pregnant– has Posh ever shown ANY inclination that she’s libal to topple in her monster heels? I adored the Spice Girls in their day (I was 11, so shoot me) and she as wearing insane heels then, and that was 15 years ago (f•ck I’m old now, aren’t I?)
Point is, in all these years we’ve never seen her turn an ankle, trip, do anything. Heels to her are as natural as flats to most of us. She’d probably climb the Hilary Step in 7″ heels and make it to summit.
Long story short, she’s in no danger of dropping that baby or anything else she might be accused of. She already has 3 kids, they don’t seem to be particularly dented.
I remember when Britney Spears wore long pants legs with I think wedges or clogs, she nearly fell and it was photographed and made the 6 o’clock news, I’m surprised how Posh hasn’t made the news unless it was all part of Britney bashing back then.
OH PLEASE. I have those Louboutins in a different colour (Black), and I find them perfectly fine to be in for about 5-6 hours until my feet start to ache. They ARE THE EQUIVALENCE of a 4 inch heel without a platform, so I think she’s perfectly fine. If she was in 4 inch heels, nobody would bash her. The heel hight is 6.5 Inches (measured myself), and the platform is 2.5 inches as well. So honestly, it’s not that bad, as the platform helps stabilize somebody a HUGE amount.
