David Beckham’s Daughter Harper, 13, Sparks Buzz over Her Look in Recent Snapshots with Brother

In the first image, Harper, 13, is seen lounging comfortably next to Romeo, 21, on what appears to be a boat. She leans on her brother, smiling subtly at the camera, while Romeo, wearing a black Prada cap and sunglasses, reclines close to his sister.

The second photo shows the duo posing for a close-up. Harper sports a black lace top with dark shades on her head, while Romeo dons a white shirt, layered necklaces, and a backward cap. Both siblings appear happy and relaxed in the moment.

Netizens couldn't help but comment on the resemblance between Harper and her famous father. “This little girl is David Beckham with long hair!!!!” a fan declared. “I can see Harper's dad in her in the first photo, the eyes 🩷 lovely family ✨✨✨,” commented another.

Many were quick to praise Harper's beauty. “Beautiful young lady harper😍😍😍 [sic],” a fan raved, while another gushed, “she's [sic] gorgeous!!!💞.” One admirer also said, “She's the cutest ❤️.” Someone else suggested to Romeo, “❤️ protect her always 🥰🙏🏼.”

Harper's mom, Victoria, has been candid about her concerns for Harper as she grows up in the age of social media. In a July 2022 interview with Vogue, Victoria acknowledged the challenges of navigating body image and public criticism.

“Harper isn't on social media, so we don't have to worry about that just yet. But seeing how cruel people can be, yes it really does [concern me],” she shared.

With Harper in her teenage years, Victoria emphasized the importance of maintaining open communication as a family and ensuring Harper surrounds herself with kind and supportive friends.

She has also noted that Harper takes a more modest approach to her style and appearance unlike many children her age, preferring natural looks and simple outfits over heavy makeup or trendy crop tops.

Harper's sense of modesty was humorously reflected in a recent exchange between the teen and her mother, where she disapproved of Victoria's famously short skirts during her Spice Girls days.

Victoria recalled, “She actually said to me recently, ‘Mummy, I've seen some pictures of you when you were in the Spice Girls and your skirts were just unacceptable. They were just too short.'”

Victoria's husband, David, agreed, humorously backing Harper's sentiments. Despite her age, Harper has already demonstrated an impressive talent for cosmetics, even if she isn't allowed to wear makeup outside the house.

In a May 2023 interview with The Times, Victoria shared insights into her daughter's budding interest. “She's been able to do a full face and contour for quite some time. She's good at doing it very naturally,” Victoria said.

The fashion designer also noted that Harper's favorite treat after school is a trip to Space NK, where she indulges her passion for beauty products. “If she does well in a test I'll take her to the one down the road — it's her favourite thing. She's obsessed,” she remarked.

Despite Victoria's no-makeup rule for her daughter, the Beckham family has faced scrutiny over Harper's appearance on certain occasions.

In November 2024, at the Harper's Bazaar UK Women of the Year awards, where Victoria was honored as Entrepreneur of the Year, some netizens criticized Harper's outfit, claiming she looked too mature for her age.

The London event highlighted Victoria's fashion success but also sparked debate over her daughter's attire.

Victoria looked radiant in an ivory silk suit from her eponymous label. Her ensemble included fluid, wide-leg trousers and a single-breasted blazer secured at the waist with a delicate tie.

The silky fabric draped elegantly, adding a sophisticated touch to her look. Harper, accompanying her mother in a coordinated yet youthful style, wore an icy blue slip dress with a floor-length silhouette.

Her dress, crafted from a similarly soft, flowing material, featured a diamond-shaped cut-out at the chest and slim straps. Harper's look was understated, with her long, straight hair parted down the middle and minimal accessories, aligning her style with her mother's polished elegance.

Expressing her gratitude for the award, the English fashion designer posted on Instagram on November 5, 2024, “Such an [honor] to receive Harper's Bazaar's Entrepreneur of the Year award last night. Thank you so much #HarperSeven for presenting me with this award… I love you so much!! Thank you for your beautiful words and for being with me on such a special night!”

Victoria further expressed, “Entrepreneurship is about striking out on an original path, and I'm proud of my team and the house we've built over the past decade. Here's to dreaming big then dreaming bigger. This is just the beginning!!”

Despite her mom's heartfelt social media post, Harper's outfit sparked mixed reactions among followers, with some questioning the appropriateness of her attire for her age.

More netizens expressed disapproval of Harper's outfit. Others compared the attire to pajamas or nightwear, suggesting it lacked suitability for the formal event. One user referred to Harper as a “Nepo child,” highlighting her privileged position as Victoria's daughter.

Other followers, however, appreciated the elegance of both mother and daughter. Fans praised their coordinated looks, with many highlighting Harper's dress and its soft, youthful color. Admirers commended Harper as a “beautiful young lady” and applauded the stylish outfits, while others expressed nostalgia over how quickly she has grown up.

The mother-daughter duo's fashionable appearance wasn't the only aspect capturing attention that evening. As the event unfolded, Harper took to the stage to honor her mother with a heartfelt introduction.

In front of a gathering of celebrities and fashion elites, the 13-year-old stood confidently, yet admittedly nervous, in her mother's designer dress, ready to honor her mom in a way that truly showed their close bond.

Harper began her speech with an honest admission, saying, “I'm so nervous,” before continuing with a warm welcome. “Good evening, everyone. I'm so excited to be here presenting the Entrepreneur Award, especially as tonight is a school night. And hopefully, this isn't going to get me into trouble.”

As Harper continued, her words reflected her joy and the values instilled by her mom. She shared, “The winner is someone I have always looked up to. She's built an incredible business from the ground up and has showed me the value of working hard, dreaming big, and setting my standards.”

Harper spoke earnestly about Victoria's influence, adding, “She's taught me so much about what it takes to succeed. But above all else, she's taught me to always be kind, and even though she has a million things to do, she rarely misses school.”

In closing, she delivered the honor with heartfelt sincerity, noting, “Tonight, I am so proud to present the Entrepreneur of the Year award to a truly inspiring woman who means the world to me, my amazing mummy, Victoria Beckham.”

Moved by her daughter's tribute, Victoria embraced Harper as she took the stage to accept the award. In her acceptance speech, Victoria's pride in her daughter was evident.

She acknowledged her young girl's courage, saying, “I am so, so proud of you. Getting up on stage in front of a room full of people is scary, and you did it with such poise and such elegance.”

Victoria Beckham's admiration extended beyond the moment as she spoke about Harper's impact on her life, sharing, “I am so proud of the young lady you have become. You keep me grounded and inspire me every day.”

Victoria emphasized the importance of motherhood in her life, adding, “You teach me to see the world through fresh eyes. And as busy as I am, being a mum is the most important job to me. So thank you.”

With her grounded approach to life and unwavering support from her parents, Harper embodies the close-knit bond and mutual admiration that define the Beckham family dynamic.
