Victoria Beckham: Spice Girls wore too much make-up

Singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham said she thinks the

Spice Girls

looked like "five men in drag" because they wore too much make-up.

The 43-year-old designer said she and her former bandmates looked hideous when they attended the American

Music

Awards in 1998 - at which they picked up three prizes - because they had piled on so much make-up.


Asked about her favourite Spice Girls beauty look, Victoria - who has kids

Brooklyn

, 18, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 12, and

Harper

, six, with husband David - said, "When I was pregnant with Brooklyn, we did a video called 'Goodbye', I had really short hair, that was quite nice natural make-up, but there's one that was the most hideous - we went to the American Music Awards and we looked like men in drag.

"We had so much make-up on, it was unbelievable, I look back at the pictures and I'm like 'Woah'. We took the layering of make-up to a whole new level."
