6 beauty lessons Victoria Beckham has taught us – From daring haircut trends to the benefits of dermaplaning
Over the years, she's both overtly and covertly shared a number of skincare, haircare and makeup tips that, now, have found their way into our routines. Here, we've rounded up six of the top beauty lessons we've gleaned:
In a 2024 interview with Into The Gloss, Victoria shared that she uses an LED mask for reducing skin texture. "If I have time after cleansing, I might use my Celluma Pro, which I'm quite obsessed with at the moment. I've genuinely noticed a difference in my skin texture since I started using it," she said.
LED masks, as such, can stimulate collagen, improve hydration levels, improve blood flow, calm redness and improve skin tone, to name a few benefits. So, if it's good enough for VB!
Another VB skincare favourite? Well, per a number of videos on facialist Mélanie Grant's Instagram, Victoria regularly undergoes dermaplaning on her face to remove dead skin and peach fuzz, which in turn, boosts cell renewal and allows skincare to penetrate deeper into her skin.
In March 2024, Victoria shared that every Sunday morning, she tried to find time for a pamper session. She indulges in a face mask, LED light therapy, and finishes with her signature Cell Rejuvenating Serum and Priming Moisturiser to prep for the week ahead. A little TLC can never hurt!
When done right, a 'flushed' look can be super flattering, but Victoria knows better than to damage her skin in the sun. Instead, she shared in a recent tutorial that she uses her very own Victoria Beckham Beauty Colour Wash Blush Water Tint to recreate "a little rosy effect".
Blending the makeup-skincare hybrid product into the skin with her fingers, she says, "I am obsessed with this going into summer, knowing that I can get that cute little flushed look whilst literally spending my whole summer in the shade."
The Queen of the noughties 'Pob' (aka, Posh bob), Victoria, recently revived her iconic Spice Girls era haircut, which is now a celeb-favourite.
Looking back at her hair evolution, it's clear to see that experimenting with new cuts and colours can be both empowering and exciting. From sharp bobs to sun-kissed highlights, VB has embraced change with confidence, reminding us that we shouldn't be afraid to switch things up. Her ever-evolving style proves that stepping out of our comfort zones can lead to striking, unforgettable looks.
On more than one occasion, Victoria has said that she loves a smokey eye makeup look, calling it her go-to for adding drama and definition to her features. She's embraced the timeless look for years, proving that it can work at any age and that bold, sultry makeup doesn't have to be reserved for special occasions! Say it with me now: Beauty has no limits.
So whether you're freshening up your skincare regime or ready to chop all of your lengths off, take a page from VB's book. With smart skincare and statement cuts, you've got instant chic.

Is it worth it to pay for the Disney Dining Plan? How it worked for my family.
You can turn your Walt Disney World trip into a nearly all-inclusive vacation with one simple add-on. Starting at about $55 per night, the Disney Dining Plan allows guests staying at Disney's resort hotels to prepay for meals and snacks. It's one less thing to worry about on vacation. While it can help families budget and possibly save money, it may not be worth it for everyone. I gave it a try on a Disney World trip earlier this year. Here's what you should know about the Disney Dining Plan. How does the dining plan work at Disney? There are two versions of the Disney Dining Plan: the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan and the Disney Dining Plan. For both options, everyone in your party must take part in the plan for the entire duration of your stay. The only exception is kids under age 3, who may eat off an adult's plate for free. Each meal includes a separate drink, like soda, juice, milk, coffee or tea. Where available, guests age 21 and over may choose an alcoholic beverage instead of a non-alcoholic one. All meals and snacks are allotted in a pool of credits at the start of your stay. You can use those on demand, as desired, whether it's only snacks one day and all table-service meals the next; the choice is yours. Just keep track of usage on the free My Disney Experience app, because your credits expire on the last day of your stay, and you don't want to waste what you've paid for. Some character meals, fine dining, and dinner shows require two table service meal credits instead of one. What is not included in Disney's dining plan? Neither dining plan covers three full meals a day, and Disney resort hotels don't offer complimentary breakfast, unless you're staying club level. Some guests order grocery delivery to their hotels for cheap, grab-and-go breakfasts, then save their plans for lunch and dinner. Others use a snack credit for a light meal or pay for a third meal out of pocket. Not all restaurants take part in the Disney Dining Plan. For example, California Grill and Victoria & Albert's are excluded. Guests can find a list of participating restaurants by searching the Dining section of Disney World's website and filtering by Dining Plan. Not all snacks and beverages are covered, either. Qualifying items are marked with a purple DDP symbol on their respective menus. Tips are not included in table-service meals and should be paid for separately. Additionally, resort-refillable mugs can only be used for soft drinks, coffee and tea refills at resort hotels. Some guests still take them into the parks to fill with ice water, which is available for free anywhere dispensed drinks are sold. How much does Disney's dining plan cost in 2025? This year, the Quick-Service Dining Plan costs $55.53 per adult and $23.20 per child per night of stay. The Disney Dining Plan costs $91.82 per adult and $28.79 per child per night of stay. Families can save up to 20% on kids' dining plans in 2025, when booked with a Disney Vacation Package. Next year, the Quick-Service Dining Plan will cost $56.78 per adult and $24.24 per child per night of stay. The Disney Dining Plan will cost $92.57 per adult and $29.99 per child. However, Disney is offering free Disney Dining Plans for kids in 2026, when adults in the same party buy the plan. Note: Only kids ages 3 to 9 qualify for child pricing on dining. Just like with theme park tickets, kids age 10 and over are priced as adults. Also, children may only order off the kids' menu at eateries where kids' menus are offered. How do I get the Disney Dining Plan? Guests can add the Disney Dining Plan onto Disney Vacation Packages booked through Disney World's website, reservations line or travel agents. Vacation packages include both a Disney resort hotel stay and theme park tickets. However, you don't need park tickets to purchase the plan. You just need to be staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel. Guests who want to add a dining plan to their hotels-only stay can call Disney World's reservations line at (407) 939-7639. Is the Disney Dining Plan worth it? It depends on the person. The Disney Dining can be worth it, particularly when discounts or promotions are available. I wasn't eligible for any promotions, but I made sure to get my money's worth. I had about $222 worth of food and drinks on a Dining Plan that cost under $184 for two nights, excluding tax and tips. Some guests look up menus in advance to pick out the priciest items available on the plans. I didn't go that far, but I opted for more expensive table-service restaurants, higher value snacks, and alcoholic beverages when included. Because I didn't have to worry about pricing, I felt free to try things I might not have splurged on à la carte. I also liked having most of my food and drinks paid off before I even started my vacation, though I still wound up spending plenty, taking my 21-year-old drinking around the world at EPCOT. Still, I wouldn't get a dining plan every trip because they aren't the best fit for my travel style. Both plans prioritize meals, but I prefer snacking throughout parks to try more things. I'm also pretty frugal when it comes to dining and don't usually spend as much on myself as the plans cost upfront. Next year's free kids dining promo may make the plans a no-brainer for some families, but my kids are older than age 9 and won't qualify. Only you can decide if a Disney Dining Plan will be worth it to you.

6 beauty lessons Victoria Beckham has taught us – From daring haircut trends to the benefits of dermaplaning
Victoria Beckham isn't just a style icon, she's also our go-to guru for glossy skin, smart routines, and fearless beauty transformations (honorary mention: 2007's peroxide pob).

Snoop Dogg Confirmed to Perform at 2025 AFL Grand Final
Snoop Dogg is set to receive one of his biggest Australian audiences to date, with the U.S. rapper confirmed as the headline performer for the AFL Grand Final. The Californian hip-hop icon will perform this September at the imposing Melbourne Cricket Ground, the venue for the Australian Football League's showpiece event. More from Billboard Bob Moses to Release Fourth Studio Album This Fall: 'The Album's Like a Question' Kaytranada's New Album 'Ain't No Damn Way' Is Coming: It's 'for My People That Love Beats' Cardi B Is Offering 'Just a Lil Taste of the Drama' With 'Imaginary Players' Single Coming Soon 'The AFL Grand Final is the biggest event on the Australian sporting calendar — and this year, it just got a whole lot bigger,' AFL CEO Andrew Dillon said in a statement on Tuesday (Aug. 12) 'Snoop Dogg is a pioneer, a performer, and a true entertainer. He's played to packed stadiums around the world — but we think 100,000 fans at the MCG might just be his most iconic crowd yet.' Analogous to the NFL's Super Bowl, the AFL Grand Final marks the end of the annual competitive season for the Australian Football League. It is regularly one of the most-watched television events in the country, with millions of viewers tuning in each year. Since 1977, the event has featured pre-game performances from contemporary artists, with international performers becoming a fixture of the entertainment schedule over the past two decades. Acts such as Ed Sheeran, The Killers, KISS and Katy Perry have performed in recent years, while on-ground discourse has largely centered around whether Australian acts should be given the high-profile spot. 'We want Grand Final Day to be an unforgettable celebration of footy — and beyond the four quarters of the match, a celebration of culture, energy, and entertainment,' Dillon added. 'Snoop fits that brief better than anyone.' The forthcoming appearance by Snoop Dogg will take place on Saturday, Sept. 27 at the MCG, though additional performers are yet to be announced. 'It's an absolute honour to be hitting the stage at the AFL Grand Final — it's one of the biggest events on the Aussie calendar,' Snoop Dogg said in his own statement. 'Can't wait to bring the energy and celebrate with the fans. Let's make it unforgettable.'
