Through the years, Victoria Beckham (or otherwise known as her Spice Girl name, Posh Spice) has built a reputation for being an elusive fashion powerhouse, much like Anna Wintour. She struts down the red carpet, never smiling, with a sense of style superiority. And honestly, up until now, we kind of loved her for it. After all, she's worked hard over these many years she's been in the spotlight, isn't afraid to admit that she didn't have the best voice in the Spice Girls, and has a dry sense of humor when you peel back the layers.

But when news broke that Victoria was pulling out of the 2018 Spice Girls reunion tour everyone got their hopes up about, we were a bit bothered. For one, the 43-year-old has always acted like she was above the group. It was all a part of her "posh" shtick. The other band members would jump around on stage and the soon-to-be Mrs. Beckham would stand away from the group, stone-faced, looking like she didn't want to be there. We all thought she was "in" on this ongoing joke, but maybe it wasn't a joke at all. Maybe Victoria really thought the group was beneath her in a way — and if that's the case, she needs a wake-up call.

Although she's a fashion mega-mogul these days, Victoria has had her fair share of hot messes that she probably thinks we've all forgotten about. She might not realize it, but the Internet never forgets. Victoria, sweetheart, you're not above the Spice Girls, and you know why? Because you used to dress like this. Below, a look back at her sloppiest fashion choices.

The "Spice Girls" Days

Now this is the Victoria we remember. Although her clothes weren't flashy, and she mostly just stuck to simple black maxi dresses or metallic suits to coordinate with the rest of her bandmates, she had an effortless "cool chic" look about her. And the fact that she always scowled in pictures while pointing her manicured nails at the camera seemed really impressive from the point-of-view of 12-year-olds.

The "Solo" Days

As soon as Victoria left the Spice Girls, it was like she was hit and run over by a tour bus carrying every tacky outfit worn by a Vegas showgirl. We know the early 2000s weren't kind to anyone, but how do you go from "the little Gucci dress" to mesh pirate ensembles and red latex abominations? For shame, Victoria.

The "Beckham" Days

Once Victoria and David were officially an item, the two went through a weird "coordination" phase. They mostly stuck to black or leather ensembles that made them look like a couple of gothic bikers who stumbled out of Jesse Katsopolis' "Forever" music video. We're not even sure which one is to blame.

The "WTF" Days

This weird fashion phase was fortunately brief but still incredibly weird. Like, what is going on here? The hair, the tan, the body? These pics were taken in 2000 when she was only 25, but she looks nearly a decade older. But let's look beyond her for a second and just critique the clothes, which were a bright assortment of random styles that someone threw into a fashion blender. No thanks.

The "WAG" Days

Now officially Mrs. Beckham, during these days, Victoria decided to blend in with fellow sportsmen's wives with the overly long, curly hair and glittery short cocktail dresses. Her fashion wasn't typically bad in this period, but they did seem a bit low brow for her caliber of celebrity. Not even the Kardashians would wear a mesh, metallic cocktail dress. Like, come on.

The "Blonde Bob" Days

Now this is one phase you probably remember — how could you not? In 2007, Victoria decided to get a makeover. She cut her hair into a bob (a good choice), dyed it blonde (a weird choice), and then got breast implants (a very bad choice).

What's funny is that it's during this period that she started getting more involved in the fashion industry. And yet, judging by the pics, Victoria clearly needed a good year to two before she could channel that inner Anna Wintour she so desperately wanted to be.

The "Halloween Days"

After the blonde bob phase, she went through another strange period where she just decided to wear costumes as real clothes. From her Elvis-inspired frock that she wore to a Spice Girls reunion to her "naughty schoolgirl" ensemble that she wore to friggin' Fashion Week of all places, she was clearly suffering from a fashion identity crisis. Although she's a successful powerhouse today, judging by this trip down fashion memory lane, we can see it took her a while to get there. An inspiring moral story we should all live by. Now will you please agree to the Spice Girls reunion already?
