Victoria Beckham, presenting a united front amid ongoing tensions within the famous clan. The appearance came at a particularly sensitive time, as renewed attention has been drawn to Victoria’s long-rumored fallout with her daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz, following their highly publicized wedding dress dispute.
Victoria, 51, looked effortlessly elegant as she stepped out of Hotel La Réserve in the French capital. The fashion designer opted for a relaxed yet polished blue suit, paired with oversized sunglasses that added to her signature chic aesthetic. David, walking close beside her, turned heads by carrying a striking Hermès Haut à Courroies bag—reportedly worth around £10,000—casually slung over his arm.
Notably absent from the Paris family day was the Beckhams’ eldest son, Brooklyn, 26. His absence did not go unnoticed, especially as it came just days after reports claimed he had cut off contact with his family in a dramatic statement. According to sources, Brooklyn has chosen to focus on building his life in the United States with his billionaire heiress wife, Nicola Peltz, further deepening the visible divide within the family.
The timing of the outing coincided with the resurfacing of an interview Nicola gave in 2022, shortly after her lavish Palm Beach wedding. The interview, republished this week with added commentary, reignited discussion around the infamous wedding dress disagreement that allegedly strained Nicola’s relationship with Victoria. An interviewer involved in the original piece revealed that Nicola appeared noticeably uncomfortable when referring to her in-laws.
“I was struck by Nicola’s near inability to say either David or Victoria’s names,” the interviewer claimed. “She would hesitate, saying things like ‘she… Victoria… uh,’ before defaulting to ‘Brooklyn’s mom’ or simply ‘dad.’ It was very telling.”
As the family continued their Paris appearance, Cruz Beckham was seen carrying a bold orange tote bag from his mother’s fashion line—an item that reportedly retails for £1,190. He was joined by his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, while 14-year-old Harper completed the stylish family lineup in a blue faux-fur coat and dark jeans. Harper also carried a vintage jumbo Chanel flap bag from the 1990s, estimated to be worth between £3,000 and £5,000.
Despite the ongoing family tensions, the Beckhams appeared determined not to let the drama overshadow Victoria’s major professional milestone. Just a day earlier, she had been awarded the prestigious Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture—an honor recognizing significant contributions to the arts. Previous recipients include Selena Gomez, Jude Law, and Denis Villeneuve.
Victoria was formally presented with the accolade by French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati, who praised her influence on fashion and popular culture. “You gave millions of young women a new image of themselves,” Dati said. “You inspired freedom, confidence, and boldness.”
During her acceptance speech, Victoria made a heartfelt reference to her children, thanking them for “always believing in my vision,” a comment many interpreted as poignant given Brooklyn’s continued absence from key family events. He was also notably missing from David’s 50th birthday celebration, the UK launch of Victoria’s Netflix project, and David’s knighthood ceremony at Windsor Castle.
While questions continue to swirl over whether Victoria and Nicola will ever reconcile, the Paris appearance sent a clear message: for now, the Beckham family is choosing solidarity, elegance, and forward momentum—at least in public.
