Uh-oh, it looks like Victoria Beckham just stirred up some major controversy.
Unfortunately for Victoria, the mother of four is facing a lot of criticism for using extremely thin models to showcase her designs at New York Fashion Week, an issue she has encountered before. Let’s just say social media is NOT happy about it!

To get an idea of what the public is upset about, take a look at the model Vic chose to close out her show — Peyton Knight (featured right), a 17-year-old model:

@victoriabeckham I have to agree with the above. I really like your designs but these models look very thin and emaciated. Not a good look

@victoriabeckham Oh no, no, no. Not healthy looking at all. How can you mkt clothes to real women and hire anorexic models to sell them?

Eep! The show’s reception is NOT good.
While the designs are lovely, David Beckham‘s wife clearly made a boo boo when casting her models. What makes this situation even more curious is that in 2010 the singer made a promise not to use too skinny models in her show!
At this time, Victoria has yet to comment on the situation. Who knows if she ever will!
P.S. Take a look at some of the other models (below)!
