Who is known as "Posh Spice"?

“Who is known as ‘Posh Spice’?” — Victoria Beckham. She earned the nickname as a member of the Spice Girls, the English pop group that became one of the biggest musical acts of the 1990s. Before marrying footballer David Beckham, she was known professionally as Victoria Adams.

The Spice Girls’ five members were each given distinctive nicknames by the media: Victoria was Posh Spice, Melanie Brown was Scary Spice, Emma Bunton was Baby Spice, Melanie Chisholm was Sporty Spice, and Geri Halliwell was Ginger Spice. “Posh” referred to Victoria’s polished, stylish image and presentation within the group.

Victoria Beckham joined the Spice Girls in 1994, and the group broke through internationally with “Wannabe” in 1996. The band’s success made the nickname globally familiar. Although she later became a fashion designer, businesswoman, and style icon, “Posh Spice” remains her best-known Spice Girls identity.

A common mix-up is confusing Posh Spice with Baby Spice or Sporty Spice, whose real names are Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm. Another related nickname is “Posh and Becks,” the media phrase for Victoria and David Beckham, who married in 1999.
