Romeo Beckham is stepping firmly into the spotlight, echoing his father David’s iconic fashion legacy with a bold new V Magazine shoot.
The 22-year-old model showed off his tattooed torso in a daring vintage Jean Paul Gaultier fishnet look, cementing his reputation as one of fashion’s rising stars. Other shots captured him in head-to-toe Balenciaga with knee-high boots, a Dolce & Gabbana shearling coat for the cover, and a sleek Burberry leather jacket.
Romeo’s career is rapidly gaining pace, having already posed for designers including Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Burberry. His striking editorial nods to David’s famous H&M campaign from 2012, where the former footballer proudly displayed his inked body.
Off the pages, Romeo has been enjoying his annual summer break aboard the Beckhams’ £16 million yacht in Europe alongside parents David and Victoria, younger siblings Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, plus Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel. Notably absent is Brooklyn, 26, who continues to keep his distance following his and wife Nicola Peltz’s vow renewal in New York earlier this month — an event the Beckham family were not told about.
The omission has only widened the rift, especially after a leaked speech revealed Brooklyn had offered heartfelt praise to Nicola and her billionaire family, but no mention of his own parents. A source explained: “He spoke from the heart – and at the centre of his heart is Nicola and the Peltz family. He wanted to do them justice.”
While Brooklyn faces criticism for “snubbing” his family, insiders claim he is “heartbroken” by the way Nicola has been painted as a villain, insisting he makes his own decisions. Still, Romeo’s loyalty is clear — choosing to stand firmly by his parents, both professionally and personally, as he makes his mark in the fashion world.
