Harper Beckham’s fashion-forward look at a star-studded gathering is sparking conversation, with many weighing in on whether her outfit was a hit or miss for her age.

On the evening of Tuesday, October 15, Harper Beckham made a memorable appearance on her mother’s Instagram, as Victoria Beckham attended a glamorous event in Los Angeles.

The fashion icon and former Spice Girl was at a special gathering hosted by Anastasia Soare, known as the “eyebrow queen,” to celebrate the achievements of both their brands. The event honored Victoria’s beauty line and the 25th anniversary of the Anastasia Beverly Hills brand.

In a post thanking her friend, Victoria wrote, “Thank you so much to my dearest friend @anastasiabeverlyhills for hosting us in your beautiful home last night! You are truly an inspiration and it’s always such a pleasure to be back in LA with you. Kisses #HarperSeven @norvina @victoriabeckhambeauty xx.”

The high-profile event drew attention for an unexpected reason: Harper’s outfit. The 13-year-old dazzled onlookers in a retro-inspired, flowing dress adorned with a vibrant psychedelic print by French brand D’Angela Panelli.

The floor-length Fiorello Baggio gown featured a vibrant tie-dye pattern in shades of pink, white, and orange. Paired with white sandals, minimal makeup, and her signature straight hair, Harper embraced a youthful yet stylish look, contrasting with the chic black outfits her mother and others wore at the event.

Despite the elegance of her outfit, Harper’s appearance sparked mixed reactions online. Some fans expressed concern over the appropriateness of her attire for her age, while others praised her style and confidence.

One user commented, “I think that dress is a little bit revealing for a 13 year old. She’s turning into a beautiful young lady, but don’t make her old before her time [sic].” Another agreed, writing, “She is a child, not a woman yet [sic]!!! 😀”

The discussion continued with more comments from critics who thought Harper’s look was too mature. One user remarked, “Well, she [has] so much [makeup] on at 13 and dresses like an adult woman to be a child.”

However, Harper also received plenty of admiration for her fashion-forward appearance. One fan wrote, “Harper is such a beautiful young lady 💕.” Another praised her youthful look, “[She] looks amazing compared to other [13-year-olds]… fresh and natural …”

Other fans found nothing wrong with her outfit and admired how she carried herself. One user wrote, “I love it. She looks perfectly [age-appropriate] and so lovely.” Another echoed this sentiment, “Incredible! Harper’s dress, wow 💕✨.” A final fan commented, “Wow Harper, what a dress 😳😊☺️ so Nice and the others also 🤩❤️[sic].”

Harper’s involvement in her mother’s business ventures has often been subtle, but their bond goes beyond the typical mother-daughter relationship.

Victoria, who shares sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz Beckham with her husband, David Beckham, revealed that Harper has been present at various stages of her brand’s development.

“Harper comes to work with me, and I think that she has been quite a sponge and has soaked up what we talk about,” Victoria shared. “It’s inspiring as well. Harper is obsessed with beauty and [skincare], and it’s a really nice thing that we can do together. We like to go shopping and try formulas and discuss that.”

Like Victoria, Anastasia, a close friend and successful businesswoman, has seen her daughter Claudia grow into a business leader. She emphasized how challenging it can be for children growing up in the shadow of their famous parents.

Reflecting on this, she mentioned a conversation she had with Harper about the unique pressures. “I was asking Harper today, ‘How difficult is it to be Victoria’s daughter?’ Because it’s not easy.”

While Harper’s recent appearance at her mother’s Los Angeles business event sparked discussion, it wasn’t the first time the young fashionista had drawn attention. Just weeks earlier, she made headlines during a Paris fashion show, where her bold pink dress ignited a similar wave of social media commentary.

As the rain poured in Paris, Harper turned heads in a flowing dress at her mother Victoria Beckham’s Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show, igniting a wave of admiration—and lively discussion—across social media.

Harper completed her silky pink dress with minimal gold jewelry, a pink purse, and white sandals, creating a sophisticated style. Netizens who saw her photos online quickly took note of her family’s trendy outfits.

In the French city, Harper and David were spotted walking down the street with her older brother, Romeo, who wore an all-black ensemble with a leather jacket and shades. He was also carrying an umbrella.

More of the Beckham children were spotted in the city for their mother’s special event. Harper’s other older brother, Cruz, was dressed for the occasion, opting for a more casual look with a white shirt and light blue trousers.

Victoria embodied her chic style in a black suit with a tailored, relaxed fit. Her minimalist makeup and hairstyle added to her effortlessly cool look, perfectly complementing the sophistication of her collection.

Adding to the family’s fashion-forward appearance, Harper’s eldest brother, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, wore matching black and white ensembles, adding a touch of elegance at the event.

However, Harper’s fashion-forward look stirred a heated discussion on social media, with netizens divided over whether the outfit was appropriate for her age. One user wrote, “13 going on 30!” reflecting a blend of admiration and caution about Harper’s mature appearance.

One critic stated that she was “pretty young” to wear that kind of outfit, while another remarked, “Stylish but hardly appropriate for a 13 year child [sic] .”

One user expressed a similar sentiment, “That dress is for grown up [sic]. She is only 13,” while another critic suggested, “Lovely dress but she could have a jacket/wrap.”

Someone else also commented, “She’s far too young for a dress like that. Why make her grown up too soon. Shame she hasn’t been allowed to be like other girls of her age. Victoria uses her as a clothes horse [sic].”

In contrast, numerous positive comments celebrated Harper’s look. A fan described her as “gorgeous in that pink dress,” while one stated, “Harper is becoming an elegant lady.”

Another commented, “Better looker then [sic] her mum Victoria,” and one noted how “Adorable” Harper was, adding, “As I keep saying she is definitely a daddy’s little girl.”

Harper Beckham’s varying fashion choices continue to spark conversation, both for their style and the ongoing debate over what’s appropriate for her age. As she grows up in the spotlight, Harper’s evolving fashion sense and involvement in her parents’ ventures show that she’s already making her mark, with plenty of eyes watching her every step.
