Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo Beckham, undeniably stole the spotlight at designer Annie's London Fashion Week presentation on Thursday. The 24-year-old model and DJ made a daring entrance, opting to go braless in a plunging silver mesh dress that showcased her slender physique. The sheer gown plunged dramatically to the navel, ensuring all eyes were firmly fixed on her as she attended the collection showcase at the prestigious Spencer House venue.
A Solo Appearance with Maximum Impact
Kim attended the event solo, having previously been seen at Paris Fashion Week alongside Romeo, where they supported his mother Victoria Beckham's Haute Couture show. For the London outing, she styled her hair in a sleek high ponytail and kept accessories to a minimum, allowing the striking metallic dress to remain the focal point. She was photographed mingling with fellow attendees, including Jessica Clark and Cora Corre, the granddaughter of fashion icon Dame Vivienne Westwood.
Front Row Company
The fashionista was in esteemed company on the front row, seated alongside personalities such as Tigerlily Taylor, 31, and a pregnant Daisy Lowe, 37, who proudly displayed her baby bump in a sheer, gold-embellished dress. Other notable guests included Jaime Winstone, who arrived in a festive gold minidress and thigh-high boots, as well as Alicia Rose Breuer, Phoebe Torrance, Isobel Richmond, and Millie Hannah, all adding to the glamorous atmosphere of the event.
Solidified Position Within the Beckham Fold
Kim's prominent appearance comes at a time when her position within the Beckham family circle appears more solidified than ever, despite being an unlikely central figure in the highly publicized feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria. Reports suggest that rather than causing division, the controversy has rallied the family around her.
It was previously reported that David and Victoria found it "deeply upsetting" that Kim had been "thrown to the wolves" as a catalyst for the family rift. The drama escalated when Brooklyn released a bombshell statement disowning his family, in which he seemed to allude to his history with Kim, stating that his wife Nicola felt uncomfortable around her and accusing his mother of "repeatedly inviting women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us uncomfortable."
Addressing the Rumours Head-On
Kim has directly addressed speculation about a past romantic involvement with Brooklyn, firmly denying any such relationship. She stated, "I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16." She expressed a desire to remove herself from the ongoing narrative, citing harassment and embarrassment based on falsehoods.
Following her statement, Romeo shared a cryptic post about "spreading unnecessary lies," while his younger brother Cruz also defended Kim on social media, responding to a troll by asserting, "Brooklyn and Kim never dated." Sources close to the family have corroborated this, explaining that Kim and Brooklyn were part of a tightknit friendship group in 2016 when she was dating Rocco Ritchie, son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, but that no romance ever existed between them.
The Broader Family Conflict
The tension within the Beckham family extends far beyond Kim, as detailed in Brooklyn's lengthy statement. He accused his parents of attempting to control narratives, pressuring him before his wedding, and creating humiliating situations, such as his mother Victoria hijacking his planned first dance with his wife at their wedding. He claimed the family prioritizes "Brand Beckham" and public image above genuine relationships, leading him to step away for peace and privacy.
Friends of the family have suggested that Nicola Peltz, Brooklyn's wife, may have used Kim as an excuse to prevent Brooklyn from attending family events, with some claims that he refused to go anywhere Kim was present. However, insiders deny this, stating that Romeo is furious at the implication he would date a former girlfriend of his brother, especially when no such past relationship existed. The situation has reportedly strengthened Kim's bond with the Beckhams, as they have collectively supported her against the allegations.
As Kim Turnbull continues to navigate the spotlight, both on the fashion front row and within one of Britain's most famous families, her appearance at London Fashion Week serves as a powerful statement of confidence and resilience amid ongoing personal and public scrutiny.
