For the first time since a public dispute with their eldest son, the Beckham family appeared together in Paris, showing a united front at one of the fashion world’s biggest events.
David and Victoria Beckham attended Haute Couture Fashion Week on Monday alongside their children Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
The family gathering follows Brooklyn Beckham’s statement last week in which he said he did not wish to reconcile with his parents and accused them of attacking him and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham in the media.
The outing coincided with a special moment for Victoria, who was honoured as a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture, recognising her contribution to fashion as an art form. Sharing the moment on Instagram, Victoria wrote:
"I'm so honoured to be named a Chevalière de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.
"I have always deeply admired the French aesthetic and the seriousness with which it treats fashion: as a form of art.
"So to be recognised here and embraced in this way, is a profound privilege - one that reflects decades of commitment and dedication. My sincere thanks to the French Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, for this honour.
"Thank you also to business partners who believed in me, my family, and especially David - my husband, and original investor.
"I couldn't be more grateful, you are my everything."
The award is one of France’s highest recognitions in the arts, previously given to cultural figures including actors Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, director Denis Villeneuve, and actor Jude Law.
Although this is the first time the Beckhams have been seen together since Brooklyn’s post, family members have recently been spotted separately. Victoria attended her former Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton’s 50th birthday, David appeared at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Romeo was seen at designer Willy Chavarria’s show in Paris, and Cruz announced a mini-tour with his band across the UK and Europe.
Brooklyn, the couple’s eldest child, accused his parents of repeatedly trying to "ruin" his relationship and claimed Victoria hijacked their first wedding dance. He said in his Instagram post that he does not want to "reconcile" with them.
The Beckhams have not publicly addressed the allegations. Speaking generally about social media at Davos, David commented that children are "allowed to make mistakes".
