Victoria Beckham showed her spring summer 2016 collection on Sunday and although it received positive feedback from fashion critics, the former Spice Girl has been criticised online.

After posting behind-the-scenes photos of some of the models in the show, Instagram users posted negative comments.

One user wrote: “How can you promote skeletons! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND DISGUSTING. “You should be ashamed of your OWN BODY ISSUES that you are now protruding onto society. GET A GRIP MATE”.

Another commented: “Looks horrible those poor girls need food”.

Much of the criticism was directed at 17-year-old Peyton Knight who has been described as a “skeleton” by some online users.

However, Victoria took to her Instagram page to personally thank the teenager for closing her show.

However, not everyone had the same view with another person writing: “It takes all sizes to make a world. A persons weight is nobody else’s business.”
