By Andrea Petrou on November 30th, 2011

Victoria Beckham is “in love” with all her four children.

The fashion designer – who has sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six, and four-month-old daughter Harper with soccer star husband David – loves being a mother as they bring so much joy to her life.

The 37-year-old star – who has rarely been seen without Harper by her side since her birth in July – said: “Harper is absolutely amazing . but I am in love with all of my children. They are all wonderful.”

Victoria – who currently lives in Los Angeles – and Harper flew into London over the weekend so the former Spice Girl could attend the British Fashion Awards and she admits it was hard to leave the tot to go to the ceremony.

Speaking at the event – where her fashion line won Designer Brand of the Year – she said: “She has been upstairs in the hotel suite tonight and my parents have been babysitting her. I am missing her already! It’s great being back in London, and seeing my mum and dad, but it’s so hectic. I always forget how crazy these events are.”

Victoria was thrilled to receive her award as it’s something her children can be proud of.

She said: “The kids can take this in to show and tell at school.”

Victoria Beckham asks for 25 percent discount supermarket card

By Andrea Petrou on November 16th, 2011

Victoria Beckham asked for a 25 percent discount card when she went supermarket shopping.

The fashion designer – who, along with soccer star husband David, is worth a reported £160 million – was buying goods from Los Angeles store Ralph’s over the weekend and before she went to pay, she asked her bodyguard to give his details to a shop assistant so they could get money off.

Victoria, who was also accompanied by four-month-old daughter Harper, spent 20 minutes on the shop and picked up toilet paper, pretzels and a thank you card and staff were impressed with how grounded she was.

One Ralph’s employee is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper: “We loved having Victoria in the store. All the staff were going crazy when she left. She was really nice and very down to earth. We were shocked when she asked for a 25 per cent discount card but it’s nice to see she’s just as normal as everyone else, though.

“We were all falling around with laughter as she could afford to buy everything in this shop in one fell swoop.”

However, the 37-year-old star – who also has three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz, with David – isn’t as frugal when it comes to shopping for her children.

The former Spice Girls star is currently in New York with baby Harper and the mother and daughter duo were spotted splashing the cash in the city’s iconic toy store FAO Schwarz.

By Andrea Petrou on November 8th, 2011

The long black dress was at the centre of the fashion world yesterday as celebrities opted for this look at a range of events.

Channelling the look over in the US was Nicole Richie who went for a simple plunge neck version for the 15th Annual Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards.

She was joined at the event by Agyness Deyn who opted for the long black frock in a see through lace version. Over at the MLS Western Conference Championship Victoria Beckham went for a black frock, while baby Harper Seven dressed in grey for the event.
And it was the same fashion story in London with Amber and Yasmin Le Bon both opting for black dresses at the Harpers Bazaar Women of the Year Awards. Amber channelled the lace look while her mother stuck to a classic asymmetric strapless look.

They were joined by Natalia Vordinova who spiced up the back dress with a velvet bustier look. However some celebrities stood out from the black dress crowd. Jessie J went for an 80s look of a blue jumpsuit at gauche gold jacket, while Coco Rocha also went for blue in a strapless dress at the Harpers Bazaar Women of the Year Awards.

Spice Girl spotlight: Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice then and now

By Andrea Petrou on October 25th, 2011

Victoria Beckham is undoubtedly the most successful Spice Girl to date, carving out a career for herself as a well respected fashion designer.

Earlier today we reported that her fashion line had reportedly made £15 million in the first three months of this year and her designs have been worn by the likes of Cheryl Cole. However, she wasn’t always a queen of style.

Back in the Spice Girl days the singer known as Posh was often spotted in questionable outfits consisting of boring black dresses that clung onto her not so toned figure. And her hair changed more times then we could remember going from that plain brown bob to edgy blonde pixie crops and then extensions.
When she met and married David Beckham however her style took on a sleeker approach. Tailored dresses and trousers clung to her new skinny figure and her hair remained short. Then came her jeans range DVB, which morphed into her now fashion line, which has put her at the forefront of the fashion world. However, since Harper Seven was born Ms Beckham’s style has softened.

Floral dresses and pastel colours have formed a staple part of her wardrobe edging out those skinny numbers.

We look at her style then and now in the gallery below.

By Andrea Petrou on July 28th, 2011

As many of you already know I’m joining the celebrity trend of having a baby.

That’s right, next month I’ll have a little bundle of joy that I’ll no doubt be trying to give a celebrity style name to, although I draw the line at putting numbers in there – no offence Victoria Beckham.

Of course with such a big change I’m going to need some adjusting so I’m taking a little bit of leave, which starts today.
However, fear not as I’ll be back in October to continue with all the fashion news and gossip.

In the meantime, while I suffer from fashion withdrawl, I’ll leave you in the very capable hands of the Shiny team and the lovely Emily Borrett.

Elle Macpherson loves Victoria Beckham’s ‘timeless’ designs

By Andrea Petrou on July 14th, 2011

Elle Macpherson loves Victoria Beckham’s fashion line because the clothes embody the way she likes to dress.

The supermodel is hugely impressed with how the former Spice Girl has reinvented herself as a respected fashion designer and says Victoria’s simple, elegant designs are “beautiful” and “timeless”.

She explained: “I think Victoria is one of the smartest businesswomen around. She has really taken that brand and followed her dreams when people said that she couldn’t do it and that’s what I really love about her.

“She’s always been fascinated and passionate about fashion and she found the best people she could to make dresses that fit like a glove.

“They’re really beautiful, they’re timeless and they come to the knee. For me, they make the body look amazing and they’re very simple. They really embody the way that I like to dress and she has really tapped into it and does it better than anybody.”

However, Elle admitted she tries not to wear to same dresses as Victoria because she believes she will never look as good.

She explained to Scotland’s Daily Record: “Unfortunately when you see her in a dress and then you in a dress, you think, ‘Oh gosh, better not pick that one!’”

Victoria Beckham wants her baby daughter to grow up to be just like Kate Middleton

By Andrea Petrou on July 13th, 2011

Victoria Beckham wants her baby daughter to grow up to be just like Duchess Catherine.

The fashion designer – who gave birth to Harper Seven, her first daughter with husband David Beckham, in Los Angeles on Sunday- is reportedly considering a permanent move back to the UK so the tot can attend a posh school and become a “perfect English rose”.

A friend of the former Spice Girl said: “Everyone has fallen in love with Kate Middleton. She’s gorgeous, stylish, speaks well and has perfect manners, all the qualities that Victoria will wish for Harper.

“Victoria will want her daughter to grow up to become a perfect English rose, with a gorgeous posh accent and definitely not like some spoilt Hollywood brat.

“Victoria is a massive fan of Kate Middleton and now, finally, baby Harper is going to be her very own little princess.”

The 37-year-old star – who also has three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz, with David – has now cleared her diary for the next two months to devote her time to Harper.

The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: “Victoria has always dreamed of having a daughter. Now her dream has come true. Like any proud mum she’s planning ahead and being Victoria she will want the very, very best for her daughter.

“Victoria has cleared her diary for the next two months. She wants to spend the summer at home relaxing and being a proper hands-on mum.”

Meanwhile, the Beckhams – who attended the royal wedding on April 29 – have invited Prince William and Duchess Catherine to come and meet the tot next time they are in the UK.

A friend explained: “David and Victoria are so proud of their little daughter. As soon as they are next in Hertfordshire at Beckingham Palace they want the duke and duchess to come and see Harper.

“It’ll be a special moment for David and Victoria.”

David and William struck up a close friendship after they worked together on England’s failed bid for the 2018 soccer World Cup.

David and Victoria Beckham’s new daughter is believed to have been named after a Disney character

By Andrea Petrou on July 12th, 2011

David and Victoria Beckham’s new daughter is believed to have been named after a Disney character.

The naming of Harper Seven, who was born in Los Angeles on Sunday, is thought to have been largely influenced by her three brothers – Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz – who wanted to call their sister Harper Finkle, a character played by Jennifer Stone in TV show ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’.

A friend of the couple told The Sun newspaper: “The boys love ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ – and have been very vocal in helping to name their new sister.

“David and Victoria think it is a lovely name. The whole family is pleased with the choice – the boys are very happy.

“Seven is something they had talked about. They were still not certain when the baby was born but it all seemed to fall into place.

“She was born in the seventh month in the hour of seven and weighed seven pounds. It just seemed right. David is keen on the meanings and power of numbers. We all hope it will bring her luck.”

The soccer superstar also wore the number seven shirt when he played for Manchester United and captained the England team.

Following the arrival of Harper, Victoria has told husband David they are not having anymore children, insisting their family is now “complete” after going through a pregnancy that left her with back pain and bunions.

A source said: “With three great boys and now a beautiful girl Victoria is insisting their family is complete.

And a friend added: “Victoria is determined not to have to go through that again.”

David and Victoria Beckham name their newborn daughter Harper Seven

By Andrea Petrou on July 11th, 2011

David and Victoria Beckham have named their newborn daughter Harper Seven.

The soccer superstar – who wore a number seven shirt when he played for Manchester United and England – revealed the baby’s name in a posting on his Facebook page and said both mother and baby, who was born yesterday morning (10.07.11) at Los Angeles’ Cedars Sinai hospital, are “doing well”.

David – who already has three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz, with Victoria – wrote: “I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA.

“Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx.”

David and Victoria are thought to have chosen the name Harper – which is a popular moniker for both boys and girls in the US – because of its “lovely sound”, while Seven was decided upon due because it is considered a lucky digit.

A source in Los Angeles told The Sun newspaper: “The couple loved the name Harper. It has no hidden meaning – they just fell for the name and think it has a lovely sound.

“They went for Seven as a middle name as they think it is a lucky and spiritual number. And the baby arrived around 7am in July – the seventh month.”

The tot was delivered by Caesarean section, and David recently revealed the couple’s house has been decorated in pink ready for their arrival.

He previously said: “It’s a whole new, different thing for us. To have so much pink in the house, lilac in the house and dresses. All the clothes are ready, the room’s ready. We’re really excited.”
