BROOKLYN BECKHAM: WHAT’S THE RUSH?
Not sure if the pandemic had anything to do with it, but it was a big surprise when Brooklyn Beckham, 21, announced in July that he and his girlfriend, actress Nicola Peltz, 25, were engaged! He’s WAY too young! Brooklyn studied photography for a year at Parsons School of Design in New York, but left in 2018 when he became homesick. He worked as an intern for a photographer in the UK for awhile, but hasn’t resumed his education. Nicola comes from a wealthy New York family and has been having some success as an actress. Hopefully they won’t rush into marriage…

VICTORIA BECKHAM IS TEACHING HARPER HOW NOT TO SMILE FOR THE CAMERA
Looks like Victoria Beckham has decided it’s time to teach her little girl Harper, 9, the art of not smiling for the camera. Back in the late 90’s when Victoria was Posh Spice, she smiled frequently. BUT when Victoria went into the fashion business, those smiles disappeared and it is said she stopped smiling in public around 2001. (She didn’t even smile at the Royal Wedding.) It was also noted that her fashion success contributed to her smile avoidance. Now that Harper is getting interested in fashion, she might as well start practicing the closed-mouth smile with turned up corners. But those dimples give her away!

VICTORIA BECKHAM IS HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS TOO!
It’s almost consoling to hear that even Victoria Beckham is having financial setbacks. Her fashion business racked up record losses last year of almost 15 million dollars. In fact, during the past four years, her company suffered 52 million in losses! Last year, a “mystery shareholder” believed to be her husband David, invested almost 20 million dollars in the shaky business. Victoria just got a loan from an investment company of almost eight million dollars to keep the business functioning. She’s HOPING she won’t have to give up controlling interest in her namesake company.

VICTORIA’S SECRET
Seems like fashion designer Victoria Beckham is always walking through airports looking every inch the successful and immaculate businesswoman. Those of us who arrive at our destinations looking decidedly rumpled might wonder how she does it. Fact is, the former Posh Spice enjoys her flight in comfy sweats and changes into her designer clothes and high heels right before landing, looking fresh as a gabardine daisy. This probably wouldn’t work for people flying coach, but we do love her color sense…

WHAT DO VICTORIA BECKHAM AND QUEEN ELIZABETH HAVE IN COMMON?
Victoria Beckham always looks like a runway model when she walks out of her NY hotel. How does she do it? Notice that her cute outfit is unencumbered by a coat – she’s not carrying a handbag, an umbrella or anything else. Not even a phone! Rather like Queen Elizabeth. Apparently she has a security man to carry everything she needs!

THE FIRST FAMILY OF FASHION STRIKES AGAIN
The style conscious Beckhams are pictured here walking out of Victoria Beckham’s successful Fashion Week show in London. Cruz, 13 (green and white jacket) has his mother’s face and his father’s hair – a winning combo. Romeo, 16, is already a fashion dandy with his overcoat and long chain. Harper, 7, is bouncing with enthusiasm (and pertly dressed in a black kilt and sweater) and Brooklyn is keeping an eye on his model girlfriend Hana in red pants.

VICTORIA BECKHAM: NOT A GOOD SPORT?
Reebok had a party in New York celebrating their Reebok x Victoria Beckham collaboration of sneakers and athletic apparel for women. Victoria arrived looking like THIS. WHY did she wear her usual platform stilettos and party clothes instead of her own Reebok sneakers and tights? Paparazzi mobbed her coming and going, and photos of her in her workout designs would be everywhere. (You would be looking at them now) A surprisingly obvious missed opportunity. Oh, and it would have been nice to have Sporty Spice involved…

THE BECKHAMS EXTEND THEIR FASHION EMPIRE
It’s the First Family of Fashion – at least some of them. Victoria Beckham and her son Brooklyn and his model girlfriend Hana Cross attended the Kent & Curven show at Men’s Fashion Week in London for a good reason. David Beckham is a partner in the business producing “reimagined British Classics.” In fact, the flat cap that Brooklyn is wearing was David’s contribution – his grandfather wore the same style. OF course Victoria is wearing a sharp suit from her own collection.

CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING TO A NIGHTCLUB WITH YOUR MOTHER? BROOKLYN BECKHAM CAN.
This photo got us to thinking: how many cool young guys have you seen at nightclubs with their MOTHERS? Most guys would be horrified at the prospect! But in Brooklyn Beckham’s case, it’s not so awkward. HIS mother, Victoria Beckham, is appropriately attired (no doubt even better than most of the young girls.) AND she’s probably a magnet because British girls are big fans of Victoria and her clothing store. She’s about as hip as a mom can be. Brooklyn, 19, and Victoria, 44, were at Laylow nightclub in Notting Hill to for a Haig Club whisky party (David is brand ambassador)
