David Beckham shared an emotional tribute to his wife Victoria after she unveiled her latest collection during Paris Fashion Week — though their estranged son Brooklyn once again kept his distance from the family celebrations.
The former Spice Girl, 51, presented her Fall/Winter 2026 ready-to-wear collection in the French capital on Friday night, drawing a glamorous crowd that included her proud husband David and three of their children.
David, 50, attended the event alongside Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14, as well as Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30. But noticeably absent from the front row was the couple’s eldest son Brooklyn, 27, who has been distancing himself from the Beckham family in recent months.
Following the show, David took to Instagram to praise his wife’s achievements and celebrate the moment with a heartfelt message.
He wrote that the family are always incredibly proud and amazed by what she achieves every season, adding that she continues to raise the bar while living the dream she has worked so hard to build. He added that Victoria and her team are “incredible” and said the family feel lucky to witness the beauty she brings to every collection, ending his message with: “We love you.”
Alongside his tribute, David shared a series of photos including a striking image of Victoria walking the runway after the show and a smiling family snapshot taken during the evening. He also posted a cheerful selfie taken outside a French restaurant with his parents and Romeo.
Before the show began, David was seen arriving at the venue dressed sharply in a sleek black suit with a gold chain. Romeo opted for a pair of brown cargo trousers paired with a leather jacket, while Cruz made a bold fashion statement in a vibrant purple-and-orange crochet cardigan.
Harper also drew attention as she stepped out wearing a dramatic black cape gown, believed to be from her mother’s own fashion label.
Jackie Apostel, who has been dating Cruz, looked elegant in a mint green satin gown designed by Victoria Beckham.
The star-studded guest list included actress Nina Dobrev, who wore a sheer black top with high-waisted barrel-leg trousers and a leather jacket, and German actress Diane Kruger, who arrived in a cream asymmetric dress featuring a lace cut-out bodice.
Model Caroline Daur also made a striking appearance in a bright red satin gown with a ruched design. She was previously rumoured to have briefly dated Romeo.
Victoria later shared her own gratitude for the support she received from her loved ones, posting photos from the evening on Instagram and thanking them for always being there for her, adding that she loves them all very much.
Her runway shows have long doubled as family gatherings, but once again Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were absent from the event.
Instead of commenting on his mother’s big night, Brooklyn spent the day promoting his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23, on social media.
The absence follows months of tension within the Beckham family. In January, Brooklyn posted a lengthy statement on Instagram announcing he was cutting ties with his parents.
Now living permanently in the United States with Nicola — the daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz — Brooklyn has increasingly distanced himself from family events.
Over the past year he has skipped several important occasions, including David’s 50th birthday, Victoria’s 51st birthday, David receiving his knighthood, and most recently Cruz’s 21st birthday celebration.
Despite the ongoing rift, the rest of the Beckham clan appeared united in Paris, turning out to support Victoria on one of the biggest nights of her fashion calendar.
The show also comes shortly after Victoria received one of France’s highest cultural honours — being named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters earlier this year.
