Victoria Beckham was surrounded by love and celebration after unveiling her latest collection at Paris Fashion Week — but the ongoing absence of her eldest son Brooklyn once again hung over the family’s otherwise joyful moment.
The 51-year-old fashion designer presented her Fall/Winter 2026 ready-to-wear collection to a star-studded crowd in Paris on Friday, with husband David Beckham and several of their children proudly cheering her on from the audience.
In the days following the show, Victoria revealed that sons Romeo and Cruz had sent her beautiful bouquets of white flowers to congratulate her on the successful runway presentation. The gifts were also signed by their girlfriends — Jackie Apostel and Kim Turnbull.
Sharing the floral arrangements on social media, Victoria expressed her gratitude to her sons. She wrote “Love you Cruz and Jackie,” while thanking Romeo and Kim in a second message that read, “Thank you for the beautiful flowers Romeo and Kim.”
The touching gestures came after a glamorous night in Paris that saw Victoria celebrating with husband David and their children Romeo, Cruz and Harper. One photo from the evening showed David beaming with pride as Victoria hugged him from behind, while another captured the couple embracing warmly following the successful show.
Victoria later shared a series of loved-up snaps from the evening on Instagram and thanked her family for their constant support, writing: “Thank you for always being there to support me. I love you all so much xxx.”
David had arrived at the venue looking sharp in a black suit and gold chain, while Romeo opted for brown cargo trousers paired with a leather jacket. Cruz stood out in a vibrant purple-and-orange crochet cardigan, and Harper looked elegant in a dramatic black cape gown believed to be from her mother’s fashion line.
Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel also turned heads in a mint green satin gown designed by Victoria herself.
Yet despite the celebratory atmosphere, one key family member was noticeably missing. Victoria and David’s eldest son Brooklyn Beckham did not attend the show and has continued to distance himself from family events.
Brooklyn, 27, who now lives in the United States with his wife Nicola Peltz, released a bombshell statement earlier this year in which he cut ties with his parents following a string of public disagreements.
Over the past year, Brooklyn has been absent from several major family milestones — including David’s 50th birthday, Victoria’s own birthday celebrations, David’s knighthood ceremony and even his younger brother Cruz’s 21st birthday.
Despite the family tensions, Victoria’s Paris show still attracted a host of celebrity guests. Actress Nina Dobrev attended wearing a sheer black top with high-waisted trousers and a leather jacket, while German star Diane Kruger opted for a cream asymmetric dress featuring a lace bodice.
Model Caroline Daur also made an appearance in a striking red satin gown.
Victoria herself arrived in Paris earlier in the week wearing a bright red turtleneck sweater from her own collection paired with tailored Alina trousers. She completed the look with a rare Hermès Kelly 35 teddy shearling bag reportedly worth up to £68,000.
The designer had travelled to the French capital with her team to make final preparations for the highly anticipated runway event, which once again turned into a glamorous family affair — albeit one with a noticeable gap.
Paris Fashion Week runs from March 2 to March 10 and features dozens of shows from the world’s biggest fashion houses, but for Victoria Beckham, the most meaningful applause still seemed to come from the family members who stood by her side.
