The Spice Girl explained her signature scowl in an interview with [_T Magazine_](http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/22/t-magazine/victoria-beckham-working-girl.html) in 2013, when Beckham explained that she smiles in family portraits but not for the paparazzi. “When you’re in a position to be paparazzi-ed just walking down the street,” she said. “You’d look a little daft if you were smiling all the time.” However, it looks like Beckham is willing to poke some fun at her serious visage for a hilarious fashion statement. Spotted at LAX on Tuesday, Posh sported a t-shirt that wryly declared “Fashion Stole my Style.”  LOS ANGELES, CA - MARCH 28: Victoria Beckham is seen at LAX on March 28, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

I feel that I have a responsibility to the fashion community.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4716984/victoria-beckham-on-smile/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4716984/victoria-beckham-on-smile/"},"headline":"Victoria Beckham Just Made Fun of Herself in the Best Way Possible","datePublished":"2017-03-29T19:32:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:46:29.010Z","description":"Posh is smiling on the inside","url":"https://time.com/4716984/victoria-beckham-on-smile/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","fashion","Culture","victoria beckham"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4716984/victoria-beckham-on-smile/","name":"Victoria Beckham Just Made Fun of Herself in the Best Way Possible"}}]}] ```
