Victoria Beckham Says Her Muse Is Model Alexandra Elizabeth Ljadov

It turns out Victoria Beckham's muse isn't a super-posh jet-setter who hobnobs with royalty (or, alas, a member of the Spice Girls). Rather, the designer has just revealed she finds her inspiration in 17-year-old Estonian model Alexandra Elizabeth Ljadov.

The model was discovered at a festival "while I was eating meat with ketchup" (true story!) and is a self-described tomboy who grew up climbing trees, building tree houses, and playing detectives. Certain activities she loved in her youth are still a draw, like surfing and wakeboarding, but others we can't envision happening as much—namely, re-creating scenes from America's Next Top Model.
