Victoria Beckham is set to unveil her highly anticipated next collection at Paris Fashion Week this Friday, marking a significant moment in the fashion calendar. Ahead of the runway spectacle, the former Spice Girl turned acclaimed designer demonstrated her impeccable style credentials with a chic ensemble on Monday, perfectly blending personal flair with professional prowess.
Impeccable Style and High-End Accessories
For a stroll to her Paris atelier, Victoria paired a £1,600 bright red turtleneck sweater from her own eponymous line with a pair of Alina trousers, which retail for £475. The outfit was elevated with a covetable Hermès Kelly 35 limited edition teddy shearling bag, a luxury accessory that can command prices as high as £68,000 in the resale market. This ensemble not only highlighted her design aesthetic but also underscored her status as a fashion icon.
Family Dynamics and Notable Absences
The designer has arrived in Paris with her team, putting the finishing touches on her Fall/Winter 2026 women's ready-to-wear collection. As tradition dictates, Victoria often turns her runway shows into family celebrations, with husband David Beckham and their children typically occupying the front row. However, this year, her eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz will be conspicuously absent from the event.
Brooklyn, who will celebrate his 27th birthday on Wednesday, released a bombshell statement in January, severing all ties with his parents. Now permanently based in the United States with his wife—the daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz—Brooklyn outlined his desire to distance himself from the family in a six-page Instagram post filled with lurid allegations. Over the past year, he has skipped multiple family milestones, including his father's 50th birthday, Victoria's 51st, David's knighthood ceremony, and most recently, his brother Cruz's 21st birthday celebrations.
Sibling Pursuits and Fashion Week Highlights
Meanwhile, the other Beckham siblings are carving out their own paths. Cruz is currently on tour with his band, performing to sold-out crowds across the UK. Romeo has been busy establishing his fashion career, recently walking the runway for Burberry during London Fashion Week last month. Victoria herself is back in Paris after being named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in a prestigious ceremony held in the city this January.
Proving her star power, the January event saw not only family members but also fashion luminaries such as Vogue icons Anna Wintour and Edward Enninful, alongside model Helena Christensen, in attendance at the Salon Jerome and Salon des Marechaux. Other Beckham clan members present included Romeo, 23, his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24, Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, and the youngest Beckham, Harper, 14, all of whom are expected to return for Friday's showcase.
Paris Fashion Week Schedule and Key Events
Paris Fashion Week runs from March 2 to March 10, featuring a packed schedule of 67 ready-to-wear shows and 31 presentations. The Institut Français de la Mode (IFM) show will kick off the official proceedings as per tradition.
