Victoria Beckham and Stella McCartney 'reignite feud' in war over Gigi and Bella Hadid

Fashion foes Stella McCartney and Victoria Beckham are back at catwalk war with each other, it has been claimed.

Posh has reportedly been really ticked off after her former friend booked supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid months after she did.

Stella usually steers clear from signing up the industry's big hitters because of the whopping fees they demand.

But after Victoria made the statement signings for her Paris Fashion Week debut, Beatles legend Sir Paul's daughter suddenly decided she wanted them too.

The sisters were among the highest-paid models of 2022, with Gigi already earning an estimated £15 million, and Bella right behind her with £14m.

They started this year with another bumper gig and that, is has been stated, got under the former Spice Girl's skin.

Stella and Victoria used to be big pals on the A-List circuit but as soon as VB launched her own fashion line, insiders say that all changed.

The 51-year-old has reignited her competitive streak with Victoria with the move said to be seen as a poke at the former singer.

A source told The Sun : “Stella isn’t normally that bothered about having big-name supermodels walking in her fashion shows as it can be extraordinarily expensive.

“But after she saw Victoria had booked Gigi and Bella to appear in her first ever Paris Fashion Week show in September, she booked them.

“A few days later the pair were on the runway for Stella - everyone found it very funny and now it’s become a bit of a joke in Stella’s office."

According to reports in 2016, the two designers became BFFs after bonding over their young daughters and are hanging out regularly.

They first began running in the same circles when David Beckham hired Stella's husband Alasdhair Willis as a style consultant in 2010.

But things have changed and recently there were claims Posh managed to 'get one over' Stella.

Feathers were ruffled when top stylist Jane How quit so she could work more with Victoria's line.

“Stella feels quite a few of the A-list names she used to dress have deserted her for Victoria," said another insider.

“And everyone in her office is discussing the fact that Jane is no longer with Stella.

“Their rivalry is intense but exciting.”
