Victoria Beckham's shoe shock, she would rather die than trade stilettos for Justin Bieber's lilac crocs

It was a fashion clash that no one saw coming in 2021. Renowned for her signature five-inch stilettos, fashion mogul Victoria Beckham was thrown into a sartorial quandary when pop sensation Justin Bieber sent over his lilac-colored Croc design. An unexpected gift that took the Instagram world by storm and left fans questioning: "Would Posh Spice really swap her heels for Crocs?"

Sharing a snapshot of Bieber's unique footwear collaboration with his brand, Drew House, on her Instagram, Beckham teased, “A lot of people have been asking me what I’m planning on wearing after lockdown…what do we think about this suggestion from @justinbieber?!” A playful jab, considering Beckham's well-documented aversion to casual footwear. In a tone of light-hearted gratitude, she continued, “This did make me laugh, I mean, it is the thought that counts. Thank you so much.”

The saga didn't end there. Turning to her millions of followers, Beckham set up a playful poll, “Will I be wearing lilac crocs?!” The results? A close call, with a slight majority (57%) suggesting she should stick to her stylish roots.

Beckham's iconic reply: I'd rather die

The fashionista's cheeky response to the poll results was both bold and hilarious, proclaiming, “Well that was close! I think I’d rather die but thank you anyway @justinbieber,” followed by a laugh-cry emoji. But worry not, Bieber fans. In true Beckham style, she clarified there's no real rift, adding, “The Beckhams still love you, @justinbieber!” It's worth noting that Beckham's family has a strong affinity for Bieber's Drew House collection. Whether it's her sons Romeo and Cruz flaunting pieces from the line, or husband David taking their daughter Harper trick-or-treating at Bieber's residence, since he's, after all, a neighbor, the mutual admiration is evident.

But while Victoria may not be donning Bieber's Crocs anytime soon, the collaboration clearly hit the right note with many, selling out instantly and even resurfacing on resale sites at exorbitant prices. In the unpredictable world of fashion, it's heartening to see two icons sharing such light-hearted banter and love.
