I hate her.
Cute dress, though.
I don't know what's worse, the dress or the fugly hair/makeup they gave poor Posh.
Hahahaha. I. LOVE. HER. She just doesn't give a fuck, man. My kind of girl.
Marc Jacobs is crazy!
Wow.
"Oh, the places you will go" you escapee from Dr Seuss !!
She was miss-named as a Spice Girl...SHE should have been Scary Spice !!!
Oy. Where to begin?
The nasty scowl on her face? The bra strap and cup showing? The ill-fitting bodice? The baggy gloves?
Or just the fact that she looks like a cake decoration that got smushed?
This is a fashion icon? I repeat, oy.
is it just the angle of the photo, or do her legs look freakishly short?
Posh AND the model look really freaky! I agree with Lilithcat. OY.
The kind of look the term "hot mess" was coined to describe.
Rather like the shoes, though.
And THIS ladies and gentlemen is why I have night terrors.
Are these the Best photos of the shoot? I'd hate to see the discarded ones.
that's ready to wear?!
You know, if a PR contestant sent shit like that down the runway he or she would be ridiculed and sent home.
I was fine with the look until I noticed the oversized oven mitts.
Obviously styled and shot by someone who hates women. Marc Jacobs is playing a big ass joke on Posh.
In the first picture she looks like one of those dolls used to cover up a spare roll of toilet paper. My grandmother used to crotchet outfits for such dolls and sit them on top of the toilet tank.
She looks HORRIBLE! Her skin looks bad, her hair...
Gawd, she really is trying to be a living Barbie doll, isn't she? I'm only liking the shoes, personally. The dress looks like someone tried to sew granny's lap blanket onto a prom dress. :-(

You mean someone will actually buy this????
I like the dress and especially the shoes (they look so Wizard of Oz).
Posh makes me wonder how hot the room was when they were doing the shoot, she's sweating bullets. She looks that way in all his photo shoots. Also the dress is too small in the bust and too long at the hem, why didn't they alter it to fit her?
As much as i love the ad campaign and the dress, these photos make her look like she's around 80 yrs old.
This woman needs a happy meal.
This is beyond horrible. Fashion icon my ass.
Says Victoria: “The images are humorous and ironic. You can’t be afraid to experiment with fashion, especially when working with Marc and Juergen — you have to push the envelope and show a different side. Marc is a genius. I completely trusted his vision and the opportunity to work with Juergen again after so many years was a privilege.”
I died when I got my Vogue and saw it and immediately thought of you boys. Lighten up, folks, she's having fun, the dress is GORGEOUS and it's freaking Marc Jacobs, what's not to love?

Me, too.
RE: the proportions of Posh's body in her phots. Freakishly odd. I am not at all amused. The runway model makes it work so much better than Posh.

LOVE IT! (except for the gloves... they almost ruin it for me)
Was the theme of this collection, 'An Ode to Wendy Pepper'??
Seriously.
He needs to get off the meth.

I think the dress looks like an Ode to the one ring Mexican Circus (that used to still roll through small Texas towns in the early 70's). You know with the faded glamour girl wearing chalky make-up from the Mary Pickford era, smelling a bit like tequilla?
He should have photographed her riding a rummy eyed elephant with a limp and no teeth.
Posh is not a beauty but she usually makes the very best of what she has and looks great. This photo shows her at her worst. Mark the Snark Jacobs may be a genius but he did her no favor on these ads. Use your brain Posh when you allow someone to use your image. Instead of calling them fashionistas they should be called fashionnazies. I love fashion but it's about 50% wonderful and 50% awful and you have to learn to tell the difference. Remember the story "The Emperor's New Clothes"? Shame on you Mark Jacobs. I am Linda from Wichita.
Posh said: "-you need to push the envelope and show a different side."
Oh I agree, except she looks exactly like she does in every photo I've ever seen of her. A new facial expression would have been a "different side". The same dour expression on her face, whether in an ad campaign or on the red carpet. Perhaps this is Posh's victory, the triumph of the homely girl.
Grace Jones would have worked the shit out of this outfit. And probably still can.

well, that is a whole lotta look there.
There's something very plain about here that kind of lends itself to her being able to slip in and out of public roles --Spice girl, Beckham's wife, Marc Jacob's muse, fashionista.
Victoria doesn't so much work fashions, as she works herself.
Funny pictures. I kind of have to love these because they're so satirical of herself.
Can I just say? I'm really sick of seeing her super-fake boobs all squished up toward her neck. Some day they're going to unearth her remains and just find lots of plastic bits.
This reminds me of that Devine movie where ugly was the new beautiful. But really, it was still just ugly. Horrid.

i think she pulls it off well
sue me
The dress is gorgeous, the ad ruins it.
As an ad campaign, it strikes me as lazy. I don't expect fashion to have deep intellectual meaning, but i don't get anything out of the way she has been photographed except "kind of weird". (And she always looks kind of weird to me anyway.) I don't see how this is "ironic" or pushing anything. In a nutshell, boring.
The dress is ok.
My first thought on seeing this ad in Vogue was that Posh looks like a little marionette.
*sobbing*
TLo, again I plead......please don't make us look at these VB/MJ ads any more! I had an acid reflux reaction again!
I can't fathom what this is supposed to make me want to buy. "Buy my dress and look like a freakish Barbie on Meth?" Yeah, that'll get me to pull out the Amex...
