Oh my god, that’s so embarrassing.” Fans quickly connected the moment to Collins’ long-public admiration for Beckham, making the playful chase even more fitting.

Fallon teased the moment by asking if the actress was still in her “Posh era,” to which Collins enthusiastically replied she hopes it never ends.
Fallon then surprised Collins by welcoming Beckham out mid-conversation. The moment brought Collins to tears as the two finally met face-to-face. They recreated an old side-by-side pose and shared a hug before bonding over style, hair, and iconic 90s pop culture.
Beckham also shared how she earned the nickname “Posh.” She explained it originated from her preference for high fashion and fine dining. The designer added that the nickname worked in her favor, especially back in the Spice Girls days when she often ended up with the best fashion budget.
