VB addresses "how boring" the media, and once her own husband, make her out to be.

Victoria Beckham is no longer going to "bury herself" and wear loose fitting clothes.

The pop star turned fashion mogul is done with the toxicity she copped for the majority of her career in the spotlight.

"I've had 'Porky Posh' on a headline, I've had 'Skeletal Posh'. After I had Brooklyn [23 years ago], there was a picture on the front page of a newspaper pointing to every single part of my body where I had to focus on losing the weight from," Beckham tells Vogue Australia for its upcoming July issue.

"I went on a TV show called Don't Forget Your Toothbrush with Chris Evans many years ago and I'd just has Brooklyn and lost a lot of weight after. It happened to my mum after her pregnancies. It doesn't mean you have an eating disorder. And he made me stand on the scales to be weighed. Can you imagine doing that nowadays," she added. 

For the majority of her Spice Girls days, her marriage to David Beckham and foray into fashion, she has been the porridge while the glare of the media was Goldilocks.

She's always been "too fat" or "too thin". And this was before social media and when both her and "Becks" made the move to the US when he played soccer in LA.

Her eating habits have also been prime tabloid fodder. When Beckham recently mention on a podcast that his wife rarely strays from her regular dinner of grilled fish and vegetables, she copped it all over again.

"I mean, talk about making me sound boring!" she told Vogue Australia.

"No. What he meant is that he's never met anyone who's more disciplined with the way that they eat. I eats lots of healthy fat: fish. avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to. I'll detox from anything for three to six months where I won't drink. I'm quite extreme in anything I do, whether it's eating or working out or drinking or not drinking."

Nowadays the family split their time between Miami and the UK.

She does regular pilates, runs for 30-minutes uphill on a treadmill, does "gruelling one-hour weights sessions" and walks Harper, 11, to school everyday all while helming her fashion and beauty empires - Victoria Beckham, VB Body and her skincare collaboration with Augustinus Bader. 

But it's a combination of time spent in Miami and her life experience which has spurred on her vibe shift. 

She recently made a splash with her new style as mother of the groom at Brooklyn's wedding to Nicole Peltz where she wore one of her own designs to the weekend long, star studded celebration.

"You know it's very much what fashion people do. I wanted to do something different. I decided I wanted to wear more fitted dresses. I wanted to show more skin. I wanted to celebrate the fact that I'm a woman. And I wanted to stop hiding under clothes," the 48-year-old said.

Vogue Australia July will be on sale Monday, July 4.
