Victoria Beckham's Stiletto Stairmaster Workout Ahead of Paris Fashion Week

Victoria Beckham opted for a unique approach to her pre-Paris Fashion Week workout, tackling a Stairmaster in four-inch stiletto heels. The designer, 52, was filmed by her husband, David Beckham, as she navigated the exercise machine in her signature footwear.

In a video posted to Victoria's Instagram story, David humorously questioned her choice, asking, "Darling I know it's Fashion Week, but don't you think you're taking this a bit too far?" Beckham, however, remained undeterred, playfully responding, "No I'm just training."

The Spice Girl alum wore a burgundy leather midi skirt and a pale pink shirt from her own fashion label during the unconventional gym session. Her choice of workout attire comes as her business ventures show signs of financial recovery.

Victoria Beckham Holdings, which encompasses her fashion and beauty businesses, reported an operating profit of £7.3 million for the year ending December 2025. This marks a significant improvement from a £1.5 million loss in the previous year. The fashion business alone achieved an operating profit of £1.5 million, with notable sales boosts for items featured in her Netflix documentary, including her 'Tilly' T-shirt and 'Alina' jeans.

Beckham expressed pride in the company's return to profitability, stating in an interview with the Financial Times, "We have all worked hard for a long time for this moment of profitability and growth." She added that the brand is no longer viewed solely as a celebrity brand after two decades.

However, the financial reports also indicate that the fashion business incurred an after-tax loss of £1.7 million. Additionally, the fashion division saw a new loan of £1.5 million and continues to face high costs of sales, totaling £17.5 million for the year. The fashion brand also holds £59 million in outstanding debts to creditors.

When the make-up and beauty brand are included, the overall financial picture for Victoria Beckham Holdings improves, with an after-tax profit of £2.4 million.

In a past documentary, Beckham openly discussed the emotional toll of her business's financial struggles, recalling "a dark, dark time" and the embarrassment of relying on her husband for financial support after launching her brand in 2008.

The designer also recently received a bouquet of flowers from David after comedian Katherine Ryan apologized for a "stupid joke" made on the BBC program "Have I Got News For You." Viewers had complained about Ryan seemingly using an offensive term in reference to Beckham. The BBC's Executive Complaints Unit ruled that while the use of the term by another panelist was justified in context, Ryan's subsequent joke lacked editorial justification.
