A video Harper’s mom shared on June 18 indicated that Harper has not only taken after Victoria physically but has developed a knack for fashion and beauty, too.
Victoria’s video displayed Harper, who was still 12 then, showing off her makeup skills, which caused shock and awe among the public, with many complimenting Harper and marveling at how fast time flies.
In Victoria’s video, David’s not-so-little-anymore girl showed observers how she does her eyebrows. Utilizing makeup products from her mom’s Victoria Beckham Beauty line, Harper, who left her blonde hair in loose waves framing her face, proceeded to use the FeatherFix eyebrow brush on her brows.

Alongside one of her own posts of her special day, Victoria included a caption that reads, “Can’t wait to celebrate with my friends and family! I love you all so much.”
Celebrating with her friends and family is just what the businesswoman did. In addition to taking pictures with her family, another post shows Victoria posing with close friends, Eva Longoria, David and Isabela Grutman, and others.
Referencing Victoria, Harper, and their entire family, another fan swooned, “Victoria’s dress is so romantically beautiful and Harper is so pretty and proper. The whole Beckham family is such a class act! 😍.”
Victoria’s “romantically beautiful” dress is a garment she designed herself as part of her Spring Summer 2024 collection. Before she wore it for her birthday, Victoria’s daughter-in-law, Nicola, was seen wearing the dress during a pre-show fitting in Paris.
