Victoria Beckham goes to lunch with chubby baby Harper: the cutest thing ever?

CHUBBY BABY!! God, I love Harper Seven Beckham. She’s absolutely adorable, and I simply like Posh Beckham more because of Harper. How adorable are these photos? How sketchy is it that Posh and Harper have basically the same sized thighs? Anyway, these are some new photos of Posh and Harper at lunch yesterday at Pastis. I love Harper’s eyelet dress, and Harper’s insistence on always wearing bows. She’s perfect. In 16 years, I want Harper to get together with Flynn Kerr-Bloom.

Meanwhile, I forgot that Victoria was actually showing two lines at New York Fashion Week. On Sunday, she showed her higher-priced “Victoria Beckham” line (which included eveningwear, etc), and yesterday, Victoria showed her Victoria by Victoria Beckham line, which is her “economic ready-to-wear” line. Both lines were surprisingly well-received, especially Victoria by Victoria Beckham. Posh discussed her easy line:

Victoria Beckham’s latest collection for her contemporary line was inspired by her Los Angeles lifestyle. The singer-turned-designer showcased her spring/summer 2013 for her Victoria, Victoria Beckham range at New York Fashion Week yesterday (11.09.12) and she says she wanted to reflect her more casual side.

Victoria – who lives in Los Angeles with soccer star husband David and their four children – said: ”With this sportier approach and a laid-back ease these dresses represent everything I wanted to achieve with the line. I often get asked how living in LA has influenced my aesthetic and this season Californian street style has been a key inspiration. ‘For me, that sense of nonchalance embraces the new fresh attitude to femininity I wanted to convey while staying true to the essence of the label.”

A sunbleached palette and laidback vibe were evident in the collection of 60s-inspired dresses and prints included poppy florals and layered polka dots.

The dresses were not as tight-fitting as her more high end Victoria Beckham line and had a more daywear feel about them.

Victoria – who watched the show with 14-month-old daughter, Harper, sat on her lap – also said she wanted her sense of humour to come out in the collection.

She revealed: ”This is my fun side. It’s what I wear for the other half of my life. I have four kids. I really do like to have fun.”

Do you think Posh likes to have fun? I’m not so sure. I think Posh is a good mum (truly) and I think she loves her family a great deal, but I’m not sure if she’s really “fun”. I get the feeling that Posh is the rule-setter in the Beckham household. And I think David gets to be the “fun parent”.

PS… I don’t think Posh’s pants are as flattering as she thinks.

    She is as an adorable baby as any two humans can make! Honestly, how can you not want to kiss all over those cheeks!

  2. Macey says:

    I would like the pants if they weren’t so high at the waist.

    and Harper7 is by far my favorite celebrity baby.

  3. marie says:

    Harper is absolutely adorable.. I do wonder though if when she gets older Victoria will impose the same eating habits on Harper as she does herself?

    • beyonce's bump says:

      I don’t think so. I think it is a false assumption that all moms who restrictively eat will try and force their daughters to eat like that….does all obese moms encourage their kids to eat more? oh wait…

      • marie says:

        I didn’t mean to imply she would, I really just wonder.. I mean I know her boys eat whatever they want, I just wonder if the same will apply to Harper. It’s probably a moot point anyway, her parents have good genes so she will more than likely end up naturally thin..

      • SnarkySnarkers says:

        “do all obese moms encourage their kids to eat more? oh wait…”

        LMAO!!!!

        Harper is adorbs. Little Flynn + Harper7 are going to be the next Brangelina. Harlynn. Can’t wait to watch them grow.

      • Anne de Vries says:

        You don’t actually need to restrict a girl’s eating to give her the message that she has to be thin and that it would be disastrous if she gained some weight. Especially given the way the entire world is already pervasive with that idea. If your mother is very focused on that, that message will arrive without any need to actually do or say anything.

      • Starsky says:

        valid point. My mom would just call junk food “ugly food” bc it makes you ugly on the inside and the outside. I doubt that would pass the politically correct test these days but it made sense to me at the time

  4. Ella says:

    Gorgeous baby. I always find it hilarious when extremely slim and highly tanned celebrities have pale, chubby and completely normal looking babies.

  5. DanaG says:

    what a chubby cutie. She better be careful or she will weigh more then Posh soon and she will have to carry her mum.

  6. C72 says:

    i want to bite those chubby little thighs!!! the cutest baby for sure

  7. Jayna says:

    Oh, that baby is precious.

    Posh is hysterically funny and very self-deprecating humor. I wouldn’t have believed it had I not seen her reality show. I see why David loves her. She’s not a sourpuss like her photos suggest.

    • Little Darling says:

      You’re totally right!! She’s hysterical and very down to earth. I liked her a ton anytime I saw her interviews and just adored her when her show was out. Perfect blend of dorky/self deprecating and serious/type A for work.

    • mayamae says:

      I’m a little embarrassed that I watched her show but she was very funny. I liked when she was calling a house they were looking at a “death trap” for her children. And how she was worried when she threw out the first ball at a baseball game that she might “cause them to lose”.

    • MW says:

      I remember, and I watched that show, too! I think she is hilarious! A little like Kate Beckinsale’s sense of humor. I remember seeing DB on Leno or somewhere, and someone said he was funny. DB said “my wife, she’s the funny one!”. Oh, and Harper is adorable! And loved!

  8. Eleonor says:

    Harper Seven (adorable!!) seems to weight more than Victoria!

  9. JudyK says:

    What a beautiful, beautiful baby girl!

  10. Sisi says:

    so cute

  11. mia girl says:

    Yes, that baby IS the cutest thing ever.

    Best of all, Harper is already working on her “blue steel” look. Her mother is teaching her well!

  12. KellyinSeattle says:

    Yes, adorable baby. Love Victoria’s pants, although they sort of bunch up at certain places. I really like her….and her baby!

  13. Alicia says:

    “In 16 years, I want Harper to get together with Flynn Kerr-Bloom.” Oh my, I have the exact same thought! The union of the cutest.

  14. spinner says:

    I want to borrow Harper for an hour or so & nibble away on her. She is the cutest little girl. I always said I want to fix-up her & Flynn Kerr-BLOOM for a match made in heaven. I also hope VB gets the gig for JA’s wedding dress.

  15. spiderpig says:

    wotta cute little doll! So adorable!

  16. Joanna says:

    David needs to get his wife help for what looks like an eating disorder.

  17. emmieapricot says:

    Super cute baby! But the cynic in me has a feeling that the baby is handed off to the closest nanny as soon as they are out of camera range because it’s hard to carry a squirming baby in one hand and a clutch purse in the other.

    • Miffy says:

      The cynic in me says she’s not above over feeding a baby to emphasise her skinny-ness. She’s a beautiful child but man, she looks gigantic compared to her mother.

      • CityGirl says:

        I hate to but I think I have to disagree. I think she is a very hands on mom and she really wanted a little girl…

  18. Abby says:

    So cute! Harper looks like David. Love these two together.

  19. BW says:

    If your pants have belt loops, WEAR A BELT, or wear your shirt tucked out. It just looks unfinished, otherwise.

    • emmieapricot says:

      Yes! That is a huge pet peeve of mine — belt loops without a belt. Just doesn’t look right.

    • anotherrandom says:

      I hardly ever wear belts. I just don’t like the way they feel around my waist. I can see what you’re saying, but I don’t generally even think about belts.

  20. velourazure says:

    anorexia alert.

  21. Heebeegeebee says:

    I really like VB. she is extremely hard working, appears to be a hands on parent, and I believe she is quite funny in person ( from what I have seen on TV) With 3 boys you can’t help but have a sense of humor. And I love her designs, I wish I could wear them!

  22. Meg says:

    I LOVE that purse!

  23. Katyusha says:

    She’s the most fashionista mom, ever.

  24. Jessica says:

    I love this lady (and her line was AMAZING) and my gosh that baby is so insanely cute. I love chubby babies.

  25. Liberty says:

    Adorable baby~wow! The pants remind me of an old photo of Diana Vreeland wearing her sort of “Spanish toreador”-inspired outfit of flowy white shirt and high-waisted dark pants (though they were not this skinny profile, but fuller through the leg). A highwaisted, thin-bodied look.

  26. Jenna says:

    Am I the only one that doesn’t go gaga over a chubby baby? If they’re cute, they’re cute.

    I like Victoria’s outfit, just not where her pants end up. Why so high up there?

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      “Am I the only one that doesn’t go gaga over a chubby baby? If they’re cute, they’re cute.”
      **************************************

      No, you’re not the only one. I mean, the baby is cute but to me, it looks like 90% of other babies. I honestly think they all look the same. This could be problematic if I have a child-I’ll probably end up driving home from the playground with someone else’s kid strapped in the carseat.

  27. aang says:

    “a praying mantis ate my baby”

  28. TheOriginalKitten says:

    As a childless person, I never understood the phrase “I want to bite those cute chubby baby legs!”

    Is this an urge that people have or something that people actually do? Or is it just an expression?

    Genuinely curious because biting a baby’s limbs just doesn’t seem appealing to me. Maybe I’ll change my mind when I have a kid….

    • Snow says:

      Don’t mean to get too deep with my answer here on a gossip blog but I think when you’re overwhelmed with adoration for those cute little beings you need to channel it somewhere. Eating is the perfect visual. You have a desire to connect with that perfect cutsey thing, to touch souls, and you can only really get that close through physical touch. And to consume is the ultimate, like you’re taking something and its energy is WITHIN you.

      So, you know, you see a cute baby. You burst with joy and you need to channel all that extra energy by visualizing a direct, succinct, physical connection with said baby. It’s awesome.

    • jaye says:

      LOL! You don’t really “bite” them. It’s mostly just an expression, but there is an action to it as well. It’s weird to have to describe it, but if you’ve seen OriginalTiffany’s posts where she says “nom nom nom” it’s basically taking the adorbs chubby baby appendage, putting it to your lips and making that sound.

  29. Miffy says:

    I like Victoria Beckham, she’s got a dry, self-deprecating sense of humour, she’s clearly very business savvy and (safely) creative. She’s admirable. But she needs to STOP with the skinny and the pouting. Her carrying a child two-thirds her bodyweight is bordering on comical.

  30. LizEJ says:

    Love Victoria Beckham and Harper! I think VB is self-conscious about herself hence the no-smiling thing but she seems to be nice in person. There’s a cute story about her on Lainey and she’s been to Toronto (my city) a couple of times and there has never been any bad stories about her.
    From what I’ve seen, her boys seem pretty well-adjusted and normal for celebrity children and they seem really attached to their mom so I’d say she’s a fairly hands-on mom.
    I think she needs to work on her ridiculous image a bit more but I think more and more people are warming up to her.

  31. G says:

    Oh she is so cute! I love the outfit even the pants. SHE on the other hand…without her hair would look like an alien. There I said it.

  32. barb says:

    She looks a lot like David as well.

  33. Anon73 says:

    both mom and baby look great !! Harper gets prettier as she ages. Posh looks great with that hair color / length / cut.

  34. anniecc says:

    Gorgeous child. Horrible horrible pants.

  35. Kosmos says:

    I approve of the high-waisted skinny pants with the shirt, very nice pairing! This is style, people….the baby IS just adorable, soooo cute. I don’t know why some babies are just naturally adorable while others are just not?

    • Sassy says:

      Yes, I like the pants very much also. Love the shirt as well. However, I think the pants have a riding breech vibe and would look terrific with a flat black riding boot. The high heels don’t do it for me.

  36. Patrice says:

    I love that after the Soice Girls Olypic performace everyone was all “Victoria has gained weight! She doesn’t look so spindly now!!” Uhh…Where did it go because I’m sure not seeing it.

    With that being said, Harper is a little doll baby and her outfit is to die for! 🙂 I really do hope that Victoria does put a few lbs back on as Harper gets older (a little closer to her natural size at least). I feel like baby H is already under so much pressure as the only girl to “inherit all of her mom’s clothes” and the poor child will have to follow her mom’s crazy-restrictive diet in order to wear them…

  37. trina says:

    My daughter was chubby like that until she started walking, now she is actually slim. I didn’t either encourage her to eat more or less. I do miss those chubby cheeks and thighs!

  38. hmm says:

    Clearly she’s battling cancer, am i right?

    She is a TWIG.

    Woman nowadays really are extremely insecure about losing their men by gaining weight. If you gain 40 lbs and he leaves, well then good riddance!

    Life is short. Enjoy it! If you keep yourself that thin, you’re only going to make people talk about how you appear to be restricting yourself, so why not just eat the sandwich? LOL

  39. Aileen says:

    Cute bag. I can’t imagine the intense pressure to always look perfect.

  40. Carolyn says:

    If Posh simply smiled for photos once in a while people would like her more.

  41. Maritza says:

    Harper is adorable but Victoria needs to gain at least 5 pounds, she looks way to skinny!

  42. Penguin says:

    She’s not as emaciated as the tabloids make her out to be. Stood next to her at football match in uk, she’s prob 5’4 105 pounds ish.

  43. Angel says:

    The most fascinating part of this story is Posh went to lunch?!?!

  44. Kay says:

    Harper is absolutely adorable. Victoria, on the other hand, gives me the creeps. She is too full of herself, and too concentrated on her I-AM-HO-SO-SKINNY poses and her mummy’s mime. Can’t stand her.

  45. EscapedConvent says:

    Posh, scowling as always, & Harper doing Blue Steel.

    I’m still smiling at that little baby sandal.

  46. crtb says:

    Baby looks like she weighs more than her mother. Not making fun of the baby’s weight, I’m making fun of how little Posh weighs.

  47. Gina says:

    Love Harper’s thighs! Victoria sure has pretty children.
