Victoria Beckham is making sure that her baby girl’s first NY Fashion Week is all that she could ever dream of. Yeah, I don’t know what that means either. Little Harper Seven is being carted around endlessly in New York, always in her mother’s arms, even though her mother’s arms look much too tiny to really support that much weight (maybe 15 pounds?). These are photos from the weekend – the rare photos of Victoria and a blanket-clad Harper are from Saturday, and the ones of Victoria in pink and black are from yesterday.
A lot of you judge Victoria for two things in particular: wearing giant heels when she holding baby Harper in her arms, without some kind of baby carrier, and you judge her for not wrapping Harper up in a blanket. The concern troll in me is more worried about the stilettos, honestly. But I’m projecting – I would be busting my ass in those heels, and I would be dropping whatever I was holding. As for the blanket thing – well, I don’t know. I think Harper is only being exposed to the elements for maybe a few minutes at a time, but for the most part, Harper is in temperature-controlled environments, indoors or in cars. Do you really need to wrap a baby in a blanket just for the trip from building to car?
By the way, the pink and black dress is Victoria’s own design. Isn’t it hideous? It’s like a really ugly vintage shift from the Twiggy era. Victoria’s show was yesterday morning too – they had to pause the show for the 9/11 remembrances. That made some people uncomfortable, but some people still loved her new collection. I glanced through the pics – it’s a lot of Mod, 1960s-inspired stuff. Meh.

idiot
Well she must got that snit down to not worry of twisting her ankle with a baby in her arms *cough Brittney cough*
But yeah I call that ridiculous.
Just the words alone:
‘Baby’ + ‘Prada’ = nonsense on a massive scale
She is obviously used to those kind of heels, nothing spectacular for her. So I don’t see it as a no-no.
For me? I would dare such brave moves..
(love the black/pink dress. for a four year old)
Why doesn’t she get called for “pimping out her kid”? There is no real reason this young child needs to attend a fashion show, let alone be carted around by a woman wearing stilts.
I have never seen anyone try so hard to be or act fabulous. It looks painful.
I have never seen anyone try so hard to be or act fabulous. It looks painful.
those shoes are ridiculous even without a baby in the arms…
Where do I contribute to this poor child’s therapy fund?
PS Mod is amazing! Love it.
I don’t really know why you bring a baby to fashion week. I’m willing to bet she isn’t breastfeeding so there would be no reason.
As far as the heels go, Victoria is more experienced than most in wearing shoes such as that so I think its fine.
I like the Mod inspired dress but I think the bootie/shoes she has it paired with make it look horrid. I think the dress would look good with a pair of real shoes.
Personally, I’m not fond of the Beckhams, especially Victoria. The no smile face pisses me off. Its like you dress to be photographed frickin’ smile bitch! CHEESE!
@ Jenny – sure, she doesn’t need to cart her around…but it’s pretty common knowledge that the Beckhams have been hoping and praying for a daughter with every pregnancy. They finally got one…I’d be surprised if Victoria let Harper out of her sight for a second. That baby is the answer to all of her prayers, as weird as that sounds.
Also, I actually like the pink dress. Sheesh, reading CB really has taught me how little I know about fashion…every time I’m like “ooo that’s cute!” turns out I’m wrong 🙂
Bottom of the pink dress looks cheap and not well made. Pls don’t drop the baby Victoria. I think she is very much used to wearing these extreme high heels.
Once a chav always a chav. She’s just using her baby as an attention-getting prop because her collection stinks.
She lives in heels…she knows how to walk in them. Also it’s her fourth kid, like most parents their concern levels start to thin out as they have more kids. At least she doesn’t have some drone carrying her kid everywhere for her.
I have some Bebe boots about as tall as her Loubs, and I wouldn’t dare attempt to carry around a new born baby is those sky scrapers! That’s a disaster waiting to happen. I’ve never seen vb in flats, so she must be a pro.
It made people uncomfortable to pause for 9/11 Remembrances? What f’ing morons.
Still using the baby as an accessory I see…what an ass. My husband would be livid. Oh and the dress FUG. That is all…
I love the all black look. See no problem with the heels. A baby sling and she’d be fine.
I agree wayyy too much Try going on here. She’s just awful all around. The heels, the starvation, the poses, the hideous pink dress…the sheer ridiculousness of her is astounding.
I like that she carries her baby. Too many moms, put their baby in a carrier and tote them like a basket and put the baby danger by bumping it over stuff. Mothers used to always carry their babies.
Look…I love my heels to, but I would be terrified to carry a child with them on.
She needs to give it break with the heels some anyways.

There is no reason to expose a tiny baby to “fashion week”. The baby should be in a safe environment in a crib with a nanny watching her. Not to mention taking a baby into a crowded gathering with flu season upon us. I think Miss Vicky is looking for publicity and using the poor child as a photo op. Not good and very contrived.
poor little creature
@teehee Baby + Prada = Prababa
I know she is used to these shoes and I wear a lot of heels as well, but I can tell you that 6 inch Loubs are HARD to walk in. I can barely make it around my house in them. They have no platform and the pitch is so steep you feel like you are going to fall over. I’d never carry a baby in them. One pebble or pothole or crack and you are done.
How does she do it with those bunions? Maybe she has the baby because she is breastfeeding. Maybe she is pumping. Who knows? Do we really care?
I feel bad for the little tyke. A few weeks ago, she was safely inside her mom, warm and cozy, and now she’s being exposed to flash photography every day of her life.
And while I have no kids and don’t know much about parenting, I’d be a tad nervous walking around in five inch heels carrying anything fragile.
Is no one happy with their height? Once read that she wears those stratosphere shoes at home in her casual moments.
What an alien idiot. That poor baby will never learn to smile either, not after gazing at mama’s grimace all day.
The only reason she would be taking baby to Fashion Week and out designer shopping is for her own glorification. What does an infant care?
She’s showing off her mini-me accessory. So tragic for the baby.
No matter how used u are wearing heels, there is still a little thing called GRAVITY. No person carrying a baby that small should be wearing such high heels, it is unsafe and IRRESPONSIBLE, period.
Would be funny, if Harper turned out to be a dress and pink hating tom-boy who just wants to play football with her brothers and dad… 😀
honestly, she’s probably so used to wearing heels she can run jump and skip rope in them, i know that when I wore heels everyday i could do anyhting inthem, i was clumsier on bare feet, so I’m not judging, plus from the car to the door? Its generally less then a minute, I’m not complaining about the blanket thing eiter.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she is breastfeeding (huge calorie burner). Which means where she goes the baby goes & baby carriers are freaking heavy and unwieldy. And hello, this is her 4th kid. Her other boys are healthy, happy kids, so it seems like she knows what she’s doing. I really don’t have any strong feelings about her one way or another. The few times I have heard her speak in interviews or whatnot, she’s always been very nice and gracious.
Wow – that pink dress is very unflattering. It probably would have looked much better on her with her pixie hair cut.
I am more interested in driver of that jeep in last photo.
I actually love Victoria in interviews and the like.
But these shoes while carrying a baby are a failure in judgement.
She was in flats earlier this week while carrying her baby and that was heartwarming to see; I don’t understand why she can’t wear her flats to fashion week and change into her louboutins once she is at the show.
Too dangerous for the baby regardless of how seasoned Victoria is in heels.
OMG – Her baby is SO CUTE I CAN’T STAND IT! I really want to babysit . . . what a sweet cherubic baby doll!
And I really LOVE Victoria’s dress on her. I gotta check out pics of the rest of her line. I LOVE HOW SHE DRESSES! I really wish her lots of success as a designer.
I would be scared like hell to wear those “Spice Girl” looking heels while holding my baby.
I don’t get the blanket complaints–New York is actually incredibly hot right now. She might as well be baking the poor kid in a blanket, so I don’t see why its a problem to not have one. I am way more concerned about the heels. She has to be good at wearing them for everything by now, but I’d still be nervous holding a baby in those. Its an accident waiting to happen.
This women seems like an emotionally fragile person to begin with. Even if they were waiting for a girl it is pretty sad that she has 3 or 4 (??) other boys at home who will feel this imbalance, at some point, as they are growing up. Most new mothers are more concerned with being happy with their newborn than parading around looking like a fashion queen. Don’t get me wrong, we all want to look good again but usually your endorphins are still in baby love mode that you really only want to put your baby first. The Becks seem odd to me, everything about them.
For her need to be a fashion forward girl. Those boots are tragic.
Really any of the extreme platform shoes/boots just seem so dated. Very @2008. They are very unfortunate looking now.
What started off as a fun thick platform. Now look dumb. And here is Victoria stomping around Fashion Week in NYC looking dumb as hell.
But the baby is a sweetie.
Forget the appropriateness of wearing sky-high stilettos while carrying a litle baby…I OBJECT to the boots BECAUSE THEY’RE HIDEOUS!
I never like Victoria’s unflattering choices of foot gear, but I think the “Herman Munster”-inspired front platforms make it look like her tiny twig ankles have horses hooves attached tom them! (Remember the horrid shoes she wore to the Royal Wedding?)
Weirdly enough, I’ve noticed that Harper is wearing plain/ugly socks in all of the photos that I’ve seen of her so far. Sheesh! Give your mini fashionista some frilly socks or hand-knit booties, Victoria!!!
She shouldn’t be walking with those kind of heels carrying her baby. Stupid woman! She could fall and her baby would get hurt but no, she cares more about looking fashionable than her daughter’s safety. It’s all about her.
You don’t take chances with a baby!
high heels are great
these massive platform heels they are all wearing are gross though
unfortunately the whiff of desperation is always emanating from victoria
That wouldn’t be me, but she and David seem like good parents. I’m going to assume she knows what best for her kids like I know what’s best for mine.
@ BB Glass – I hear ya on that!! WTH??
The woman has reared three perfectly healthy children, so I don’t see it as our place to pick apart her parenting skills the fourth time around.
Oh for goodness sake leave her alone.
This is not her first child…she knows how to care for a baby. Her kids are beautiful and appear healthy.
She’s been walking in those heels for eons.
People just have to complain about something all the time. This time, it just sounds like jealous whining. Can’t we get back to criticizing Lilo?
Cant she take some time off for her baby? Like does she really want to bring a baby to fashion week, is she really that desperate? Wow, what a ego, narcissistic Bi*ch
Back in the 50’s and 60’s women wore high heels everyday and I am sure they carried their babies……
She can’t win. Baby in LA while Mom is in NYC and probably contractually obligated to be there=mom with screwed up priorities. In NYC with Harper but Nanny carries baby=she doesn’t care about baby or doesn’t want to take a bad picture.
I agree-4th time around she knows what she’s doing.
You think she could smile maybe just once. Reason #1: she’s married to David. #2: she has an adorable family. Just smile dammit!!!!
So let me get this straight. You are criticizing a woman for carrying her baby with her every where she goes? There are lots of everyday moms who carry there babies everywhere they go. Many of them use wraps, slings, carriers, whatever. We call them great moms. I always found those carriers awkward and maybe Victoria does too. So she’s using her hands. Good for her!
As for shoes, she wore those all during her pregnancy. It’s what she likes. I doubt she’s going to fall. Hell, I tripped wearing sneakers while holding my baby.
@ hanna I would probably kill o have not only the finacial stability of VB, but also loads of time to stay hom and accompany my children around, not to mention being able to bring my small baby to my job where I am the boss!
Working for months , or a few weeks preparing the FW presentation does not compare to having to work everyday 8 hour for years plus commuting, and leaving the children for other to care for hem.
ITA – Hautie I was thinking the same thing…those boots are sooooo 2008.
Those shoes are like a lethal weapon. And the baby is the potential victim. I am sorry, but that is just all kinds of messed up. Fashion before the safety of your baby.
In regards to women “used to wear heels all the time back in the 50’s 60’s”, yes they did, but they weren’t 5 inches. And those look like 6. Weapons, I say.
Babies that young should not be out in crowded places. Talk about reckless. The baby is not fully vaccinated, and NY crowds are gross.
That baby is so precious in the blanket. I agree – she’s way too young to be out in crowds -especially huge NYC germy crowds. I realize it ain’t no thang for VB to walk her b*tch-ass stilettos but holy crap I’d be scared to death of walking in those puppies with that baby in my arms.
I gotta go with melissa and atlantapug – I see extry danger with those absurd heels and there is no reason for an INFANT, let alone any age baby, being at this event. She’s just showing off in a very dangerous way.
When I look at those shoes and think of how high her actual foot is off the ground, I just see her and the baby flying along the ground from stepping on an unexpected pebble. Just because she’s used to stilts does not mean she can right herself if she trips. Is it enough to risk brain damage for the Kid???
Ugh, I feel for this woman having to hear constant bitchiness about “appropriate footwear” while carrying a baby. She lives in those sky high shoes and my guess is that she is less coordinated in flats and would be more likely to fall and drop her baby while wearing them.
I wore stilettos while carrying my newborn and wore them all through my pregnancy. The fact of the matter (yes I’m aware of how screwed up this is), is that my back is actually stuffed from wearing heels all my life and when I wore flats in the later stages of pregnancy after succumbing to bitchy comments about my wearing heels, it threw my back out completely. The midwife was the one who told me to put the heels back on and in two days my back was fine again.
So as much as I have never really cared for Posh Spice or anything she does, I really don’t have an issue with her wearing heels with the baby. Quite the opposite actually.
Ohh and what the hell is wrong with having her new baby with her every second of the day?! You would bitch just as much, if not more, if the baby was left elsewhere in the care of hired help and question her as to why try so desperately for a new baby if she was just going to leave her behind while carrying on with what she does. Meh, I’ve had my say. Now I’ll go back to ignoring everything else about this woman. hahah
Ya know, with how often Posh wears those heels she’s prolly less sure footed in flats!
No, no, no. I tripped carrying my baby wearing flat shoes, although he was fine I was so upset and cut/bruised myself. It took me ages to get over it, I felt so bad, terrible. Not worth the risk!
… plus babies are not immune yet to Whooping Cough, so I wouldn’t be taking my baby out in public like that until it was fully immunised (6 months+). Sick people are rude, cough all over you, don’t wash their hands, touch stuff… need to protect those little babies
I just think wearing heels at all, and they are SOOO uncomfortable, is just so pretentious. I think that she is the kind of person who is willing to put her looks and fashion before her child which in my eyes is just pathetic. I don’t want kids at all but I think if ppl do, they should at least be committed to them. As for the dress, omg it is really ugly. like really ugly and it actually makes he look chunky- considering how skinny she is, i think it is the dress that is fug.
I get that being thin looks good on film, so I give some super-slender women a pass on it, but she looks like her bones would hurt to cuddle up to.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not remotely concerned about the heels- she lives in those.
I AM paranoid about germs near a newborn however, not to mention how distressing a wall of camera flashes will be to the poor infants eyes.
Oh yes, VB is a terrible terrible mother because she wears high heels! Shame on her!
Oh please. I’m with @missie.
First of all, that baby is nowhere near 15 lbs, yet. Second, I hate when people told me to put more/less clothes on my baby. I trust that she is fully aware of how cold/hot her child is. They have these things called LUNGS which they are more than happy to fill up with air to let you know if they are unhappy with the temperature. Seriously. When my kids were newborns, I took them with me every where. I wasn’t ready to put them down or leave them with a sitter for weeks if not months. I do not judge!
As for the heels thing? Meh. It’s Posh. If anyone can carry a baby safely in them, it’s her. And she’s going to do it no matter how much the interweb disapproves, so…
@6 yes something just doesn’t seem quite rite… Wonderful to spend time with the baby but why not be content to stay out of the spotlight for even a short period of time?
Thanks for the auspicious writeup. It actually was a leisure account it. Look complicated to more delivered agreeable from you! By the way, how can we keep up a correspondence?
