The former member of the “Spice Girls” had a memorable night at the 2024 Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards, where she was honored with the Woman of the Year award.

A clip of Victoria Beckham posing with her daughter Harper Seven Beckham at the 2024 Bazaar Awards sparked plenty of reactions online. Fans couldn’t help but wonder about her shiny appearance on the red carpet.

Harper, taking style cues from her mother, stepped onto the red carpet in a lovely baby blue silk maxi dress with a small diamond cutout at the center. She added a touch of elegance with a gold bangle and a pendant necklace.

Her appearance created a charming matching moment alongside her mom. Victoria opted for a bold yet polished look, sporting an ivory silk suit with a gleaming finish.

The ensemble, featuring an oversized blazer and wide-leg trousers, maintained a minimalist feel as she skipped a shirt underneath. The 50-year-old completed her look with subtle silver hoop earrings and a delicate necklace, letting the stylish mother-daughter duo shine side by side.

It wasn’t only their outfits that shone — fans also noticed a shine on their faces, with several users commenting that Victoria Beckham’s looked especially oily. Many viewers weren’t fans of the glossy look, finding it overly shiny.

Fans shared their thoughts on Victoria’s appearance with a mix of curiosity and critique. One person wondered aloud, “Why do they look sweaty?” while another seemed equally puzzled, asking, “Why are you so shiny?”

“Victoria’s face is so shiny!!! Is it oil applied in [sic] her face? She doesn’t look comfortable 😕” one fan speculated, picking up on her expression. Another follower also observed, “Victoria’s skin is so oily.”

More online users critiqued the look, “I don’t get the shiny face thing. It doesn’t make someone look younger or prettier. It looks like Victoria needs an astringent pad.” Another user who didn’t love the trend shared, “Why does everyone look greasy these days??! No thx. I like the clean matte look not like I slathered myself with Vaseline.”

An unimpressed viewer also bluntly noted, “Don’t like that shine look. Looks like grease.” A nostalgic user added to the conversation, “Victoria looks so plastic, Shame, She was very pretty.” “She’s smiling but she’s had that much botox she can’t cab see her struggling botox queen [sic],” said another fam, suggesting her expression looked strained.

“Old stone face can’t smile,” a follower quipped, adding to the mix of reactions. Someone else mused, finding her expression unusual, “Why does Victoria look like she’s about to burst into tears 🫣.”

Despite the mixed reactions to their appearance, Victoria and Harper appeared to enjoy their time at the ceremony. Held annually, the Bazaar Awards celebrates women who have made significant achievements, inspiring and impressing audiences over the past year. Victoria was presented with her award by none other than her daughter, Harper, making the recognition extra special.

In a heartfelt post, Victoria expressed her gratitude, writing about how special the moment was with Harper Beckham by her side.

She penned, “Thank you so much #HarperSeven for presenting me with this award… I love you so much!! Thank you for your beautiful words and for being with me on such a special night!”

The fashion designer also acknowledged the pride she feels in the journey she’s taken as an entrepreneur. She paid note to the dedication of her team and the lasting impact of her fashion brand over the past ten years. “Here’s to dreaming big then dreaming bigger. This is just the beginning!!,” celebrated Victoria.

Victoria and Harper enjoyed each other’s company on this special evening. However, it wasn’t the first time mother and daughter had captured attention together. Just last month, the pair made headlines at a star-studded event in Los Angeles. On this occasion, Harper’s outfit sparked a wave of mixed reactions online.

Victoria attended the 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 teenager 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.”

As Harper continues to grow up in the public eye, her style choices, shaped by her mother’s influence, remain a topic of discussion. Her evolving presence alongside her mother suggests a budding confidence as she steps into the spotlight with grace.
