Victoria Beckham: fans argue 11-year-old daughter Harper’s dress is ‘inappropriate’ for her age

Victoria Beckham has been slammed by fans for letting her 11-year-old daughter wear a custom dress that many deem as “inappropriate” for her age.

The fashion designer, 48, who lives in London and Miami, brought her family to watch her SS23 Paris Fashion Week debut.

She was supported by Harper Seven, age 11, husband David Beckham, 47, and sons Romeo, 20, and Cruz, 17, and Cruz’s girlfriend Tanya Holding.

Fans have been left divided as Harper donned a customer maxi dress from Victoria’s brand, which featured lace detailing and a cut-out neckline.

Many took to social media arguing that the dress worn by the youngest member of the Beckham family was not appropriate for her age, as it included a very low cut neckline.

Following the fashion show, Victoria Beckham took to Instagram to share the event with her 30 million followers.

She posted a photo of the family sitting alongside Vogue Editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful, 50, and fashion royalty, Anna Wintour, 72.

The photo included her son Brooklyn Beckham, 23, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 27, who are reportedly ‘feuding’ with Victoria.

The former Spice Girl captioned the post, saying: “It’s Paris baby!! I’m so grateful for my family, @BritishVogue and @VogueMagazine for always supporting me on this journey xx VB”

Although Harper was dressed up in VB design with similar structuring and detailing as the models, many couldn’t help but comment on the suitability of the dress.

One fan commented: “Without hate, but the dress is totally not good on the little girl.”

Another wrote: “Harper is still in plaits, dress her like the child she is, that dress is so wrong.”

A third said: “Why would any parent want an 11-year-old child to wear a dress like that? It’s a beautiful dress but it’s clearly for a grown woman.”

Victoria also posted various models on the runway, showcasing her new collection as well as herself walking the runway at the end of the show.

Sisters, Gigi, 27, and Bella Hadid, 25, walked Victoria’s runway, while wearing some of her favourite looks.

Bella modelled an olive dress, while Gigi wore a more masculine tailored look. Victoria Beckham described the Hadid sisters’ looks as “masculine constructed tailoring compliments sinuous, sensual dresses.”

She also posted a photo of 11-year-old Harper posing next to the supermodels, writing: “#HarperSeven loving her time backstage with @GigiHadid and @BellaHadid 💕 #VBSS23”

The photo quickly gathered a multitude of comments reacting to Harper’s custom outfit, with  one follower writing: “That girl is 11 and in that dress. She is so adorable. But that is not age appropriate.”

Another wrote: “That’s a completely inappropriate dress for a child”

Whilst a third wrote: “Shame on you for sexualizing your 11 yr old daughter in a dress like that.”

Another chimed in: “Let kids be kids. That neckline is so inappropriate.”

However, others who came to the defence of Victoria and David Beckham for allowing their child to wear the dress.

One follower commented: “I have to disagree - this is a girl wearing a lovely dress. It is not for us to say something is appropriate or inappropriate. After all…what is appropriate?”

"People should feel free to wear what they enjoy and feel comfortable in. It is not our call to make,” said another fan.
