25 (non-Bravo) real life housewives who are pretty badass

Victoria Beckham

She may be known as Posh Spice to some of you, but to me, Victoria Beckham will always be an unmatched domestic goddess that can do no wrong, ever. Yes, she’s married to the world’s most beautiful specimen of a man. And also yes, she has four gorgeous children. And also, also, she contributed to my formative years with her turn as a Spice Girl. But currently, she is slaying everything about life, and doing it while looking better than any 43 year old woman has a right to.

Beckham has come along way from the ’90s spiky hair and neon tube tops. Currently, the former Posh Spice has her own (very, very successful) clothing line that shows at New York Fashion Week every year. In a turn that further cements her place as feminist hero, Beckham recently collaborated with Target for a more reasonably priced line of clothes, of which I own at least five pieces. They’re gorgeous.

While being an international style icon, she is also an extremely hands on wife and mother. A quick glance at her Instagram reveals a telling mix of professional pics of beautiful clothes and cozy pics with her husband and kiddos. In one day, you can catch a glimpse of her proudly showing off her son playing the guitar and then her posing with the industry’s most influential makeup artist. There are few women who promote a more striking balance than Beckham.
