Harper Beckham, 13, Sparks Controversy With “Inappropriate” Pink Satin Gown At Mom’s Fashion Show
David and Victoria Beckham’s 13-year-old daughter, Harper Beckham, sparked controversy after being photographed wearing a body-hugging pink satin dress. The teenager was spotted at Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show on Friday (September 27), accompanied by her famous family.
In new photographs, Harper flaunted her long gown as she stepped out with her father David, her brothers Cruz and Romeo, and Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, The Daily Mail reported on Friday.
Highlights
- Harper Beckham, 13, wore a body-hugging pink satin dress designed by her mother at Victoria's Paris Fashion Week show, causing controversy over age-appropriateness.
- Critics on social media debated if Harper's satin dress was too mature for her age, with comments questioning if she looked much older than 13.
- Some defended the Beckhams' choice, praising their down-to-earth nature and their disregard for public opinion.
Meanwhile, Victoria and David’s oldest child, Brooklyn, was seen twinning with actress wife Nicola Peltz with matching ensembles.
Harper dazzled in her satin look, which she paired with white strappy mules. The teen girl’s floor-length dress was reportedly made for her by her fashion designer mother.

An insider told The Mail: “Harper is too young to wear a dress from Victoria‘s range. So she decided to make her very own bespoke one and it is beautiful.”
The Spice Girls alum was presenting her Victoria Beckham Spring/Summer 2025 collection. She has been designing clothes since 2008.

Nevertheless, Harper’s gown drew criticism, with many people debating on the style’s appropriateness considering her young age.
A Threads user commented: “She is 13???? I thought she were 15.”
A person wrote on Instagram: “The satin dress is far to old on Harper plus looks like she ready for bed.”

“These teenagers look so old today,” someone else noted.
However, an observer countered: “I just love the way they go about their lives not really giving a damn what the world thinks or says! Love this family.”
A separate individual chimed in: “Ah come on guys – they’re all adorable and compared to families with that kind of high life, actually massively down to earth. Good luck to them xx.”

The backlash follows a previous controversy involving David and his daughter during a football (soccer) game in July.
Photographs from an Inter Miami CF game captured the doting football star enjoying his day out with Harper as they watched his team play against St. Louis City SC in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA.
After photos from the game went viral, many online gushed about the sweet relationship the Inter Miami co-founder enjoys with his daughter.

However, some trolls online mocked the former athlete for the way he showed affection to his child, as a person commented: “Beckham needs to realize that his daughter is growing fast. He cannot hug her the same way he did when she was 5.”
The father-of-four sparked headlines on different occasions in the past for not holding back when it comes to smothering his children with love.
Pictures of him kissing Harper on the lips have particularly ignited concerns, as someone on social media criticized: “She is a big girl now time for you to stop kissing her on the lips. Bad to kiss your daughter.”
“She’s far too young for a dress like that,” a reader commented.

We criticize women in hijabs because they are being controlled and not allowed to exercise free will.... but then when a girl exercises free will and wears something that makes her feel nice we criticize her for being "sexual". We criticize women for 'letting themselves go" but then blame them for being raped because they wore a skirt that showed their knees. Instead of telling our sons to respect women, we tell our daughters they cannot wear leggings for comfort because men might see them as a penis receptacle instead of a person. This whole conversation is f ed up. Women are not responsible for men. Women and girls are not responsible for how men view them. Women and girls can wear whatever the fluck they want. If you have a problem with it, then you are the problem.

"In new photographs, Harper flaunted her long gown [...] The Daily Mail reported on Friday." Flaunted? Typical Daily Mail speak, sexualising any woman or girl who has the temerity to look nice in public. Flaunt (display ostentatiously, especially in order to provoke envy or admiration) is its favourite word in this regard, insinuating that it's OK to ogle because the girl is inviting attention. The kid was WEARING the dress, not flaunting it. But then, what can you expect from the Mail, the paper that ran a daily countdown to the 16th birthdays (age of sexual consent in the UK) of Charlotte Church and Emma Watson, among many young, female - but never male - celebrities, and always accompanied by sneaky paparazzi pics of them in swimsuits or taken from unfortunate angles to reveal more flesh than the girls intended (holding the camera low to get the 'best' view as they're exiting cars, etc). Damn the Mail.
