Summary
- Victoria Beckham customized her school uniform as a child
- Her parents, Jackie and Anthony, built a successful electronics business
- Victoria's father drove her to school in a Rolls-Royce in the 1980s

According to a recent Netflix docuseries, Victoria Beckham's parents, Jackie and Anthony Adams, have been a major influence in her life. Born in 1974 in Essex, England, Victoria is the couple's oldest child.
Growing up, Victoria was encouraged by her parents to pursue her dreams. Her father, Anthony, a successful entrepreneur, refused to accept when Victoria said she couldn't achieve something, always pushing her to do more. This entrepreneurial spirit has clearly rubbed off on Victoria, who has launched multiple successful businesses, including her eponymous fashion line and cosmetics brand.
Victoria has also credited her parents for shaping her fashion sense from a young age. She recalls customizing her school uniform during lunchtime and being fascinated by watching her mother get dressed up. However, Victoria's mother, Jackie, was strict about her daughter's fashion choices as a teenager, not allowing her to dress like her idol, Sandy, from the movie Grease.

One of the most surprising revelations is that Victoria's father, Anthony, drove her to school in a Rolls-Royce during the 1980s, when the family's electronics business was thriving. While Victoria and her siblings were initially embarrassed by the luxury car, they now look back on it with fondness, with Victoria even creating a t-shirt with the slogan "My Dad had a Rolls Royce."
Today, Victoria continues to enjoy spending time with her parents, who remain proud of her music and fashion career. The family often gathers at Jackie and Anthony's home, where they have a shed filled with Spice Girls memorabilia.
