David and Victoria Beckham held hands as they arrived at this year's TIME100 Gala in New York City on Thursday evening. The couple were pictured arriving at the prestigious event, which took place at the Jazz at Lincoln Center.
David, 50, and Victoria, 52, dressed to impress while sporting their sunglasses as they made their way into the venue through the building's loading bay. Victoria made the Time Most Influential People of 2026 list this year and showed how she pulled out all the stops with her outfit. The fashion designer cut an elegant figure in a silk cut dress from her own brand, which she paired with black open-toe heels. As she turned her back to the cameras, Victoria revealed a daring thigh-high split on the back of the dress.
Right by her side was her husband David, who looked dapper in a black dinner jacket and bow tie. Both David and Victoria obliged fans gathered outside who asked the celebrity couple for selfies. During the event, David was snapped chatting to broadcaster and pal Piers Morgan, and the pair appeared engrossed in conversation.
David and Victoria were joined by the likes of Hailey Bieber, Dakota Johnson and Kate Hudson at the star-studded event. Victoria appeared on stage for the TIME100 summit on Tuesday and spoke about how she deals with the scrutiny of living life in the limelight. She said: 'This has been happening since I was 20, so it's been going on a long time. I have an incredible husband who supports me enormously. We're always there for each other. And I learned a long time ago to really not listen to the noise. Someone's always going to have something to say. I focus and I just don't pay attention to it.'
Victoria had shared a behind-the-scenes look at herself getting ready for the evening. Her loyal hairdresser Ken Paves styled her new blonde locks. She captioned one photo in the make-up chair: 'I feel like I live in this chair. The master at work'.
Victoria addressed her 'challenging' past year amid her feud with son Brooklyn in a rare TV interview this week. When asked on the Today show by hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones about the tumultuous recent time for the family, Victoria didn't specifically reference her son, 27, but said she will 'always protect' her kids. Jenna directly asked her in the interview: 'You have had a pretty public challenging year - we have talked about it on this show. How do you get through the tough times?' She replied: 'You know, myself and David, we're so close and we have incredible people around us. We're close to my parents and David's parents. We support each other through everything that we do. We love our children so much and have always really focused on protecting our children. But we laugh a lot. David Beckham is really, super funny.'
Brooklyn cut ties with his family in a scathing social media statement in January, declaring he has no plans to reconcile with his famous parents and accusing them of 'controlling him for most of his life'. David and Victoria have not been seen with their son since. Victoria also said in the new interview that her and her husband rely on each other to navigate tough times. She said: 'We support each other through everything that we do. We've grown together. And that's where I feel so blessed. We really have grown together. We support each other. We've both got big dreams. We're both very, very ambitious and we support each other. I want him to be the best version of himself and that's what he wants for me.'
Last week, Victoria celebrated her 52nd birthday and was showered with wishes from her family and friends. Posh Spice took to her Instagram on Saturday to share a snap with her birthday cake following her celebrations. Wearing a shoulderless satin dress, Victoria could be seen beaming as her cake with lit candles was placed on the table in front of her. After making a wish, she blew out her candles. Victoria wrote alongside the snaps: 'Dream big then dream even bigger!!! The most magical day with my family and friends. Thank you for all your love and kindness. I feel so grateful'.
