Imagine a family rallying around one of its most iconic members during a moment of triumph – that's the heartwarming scene unfolding at Victoria Beckham's Netflix documentary premiere. But here's where it gets controversial: not every Beckham is present, sparking whispers of deeper family tensions. Dive in as we explore this star-studded event, filled with style, support, and a few notable absences that have fans buzzing.
On a Wednesday evening, Victoria Beckham, the legendary Spice Girls vocalist who reinvented herself as a powerhouse in fashion design, was surrounded by her closest loved ones to celebrate the launch of her self-titled Netflix documentary series. For those new to the concept, a docu-series is like a documentary broken into episodes, offering an in-depth look at someone's life – in this case, Victoria's remarkable journey. She turned heads in a stunning white pencil skirt paired with a silky blouse and a sophisticated tailored blazer casually draped over her shoulders, posing effortlessly for photos at the London premiere of this three-part series. At 51, Victoria was accompanied by her husband, David Beckham, the former captain of England's national football team, who at 50 exudes timeless charm. Their children were there too: Romeo, 23, the budding entrepreneur; Cruz, 20, the aspiring model and actor; and Harper, 14, the youngest with her own growing presence in the spotlight. The whole family beamed for the cameras before heading into the screening, just under two years after David's own Emmy-winning Netflix documentary aired.
The Beckhams, married since 1999, appeared utterly in love and at ease as they strolled the red carpet at Curzon Mayfair in London. David cut a dashing figure in a sleek dark suit, accented by a striped shirt and a navy tie that complemented his polished look.
Meanwhile, Romeo and Cruz were impeccably dressed, with Romeo opting for an all-white outfit that mirrored his mother's chic vibe, and Cruz choosing a classic dark suit enhanced by a burgundy tie and a vibrant blue shirt. Harper looked absolutely enchanting in a simple yet graceful black gown that flowed to the floor, featuring delicate spaghetti straps, standing proudly beside her famous parents. Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, was also there, adding to the supportive entourage.

The premiere was a who's who of celebrities, including Victoria's dear friend Eva Longoria, who serves as Harper's godmother. The former Desperate Housewives star glowed in a shimmering pearlescent midi-dress with an elegant cowl neckline.
Victoria's fellow Spice Girls – Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton – showed up in full support, bringing their signature glamour to the carpet. Emma even brought her 18-year-old son, Beau, whom she shares with her husband, Jade Jones.
Sweet moments dotted the event: David and Harper shared a tender father-daughter connection, holding hands as they posed. Romeo was caught grinning widely, likely exchanging a funny quip with his dad.
And this is the part most people miss: conspicuously missing from the gathering were Victoria and David's eldest son, Brooklyn, 26, and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham. Brooklyn, the aspiring chef, has skipped several key family occasions this year, from birthdays to other significant milestones, without any public explanation. Rumors swirl about a strained relationship between the young couple and Victoria and David, with sources suggesting Nicola, as the daughter of a billionaire and accustomed to a life of privilege, might have introduced friction by not aligning with the family's values. One insider told HELLO! that Nicola hasn't demonstrated the respect Victoria expects. Yet, despite the challenges, another source insists David and Victoria are eager to mend the divide.
Victoria's eagerly awaited Netflix series promises an intimate peek into the life of this mother of four, tracing her path from a global pop sensation to a fashion industry titan. The official synopsis captures it beautifully: 'From the glare of worldwide pop fame to the innovative workshops where haute couture is crafted, Victoria Beckham has always been deeper than surface appearances. Her story, from a driven young woman in England aiming for the biggest stages to a global symbol, is shaped by relentless ambition, transformation, and a steadfast dedication to elegance.' All three episodes drop on Netflix on October 9th.
