Victoria Beckham is the recipient of “The Flynn Kerr-Bloom Effect” from me – meaning that I like a celebrity baby so much, my opinion of the celebrity baby’s parents greatly improves. I adore little Harper Seven Beckham. She is one adorable, well-dressed, well-behaved, gloriously chubby babies I’ve seen, and I like Victoria and David Beckham so much more now that they have little Harper.
Anyway, these are photos of Posh and Harp at LAX yesterday – they’re flying into London to attend tonight’s British Fashion Awards. I love how Posh isn’t carrying any luggage, or even a purse. I’m sure she has “people” for that, but not even carrying your own purse in an airport? You should always have your passport and your boarding pass close at hand, for the love of God. But Victoria knows how to put together a candid photo, and how to treat every candid photo shoot like she’s owning the catwalk.
The Mail pointed out that for the flight, Harper’s ensemble included a pair of ribbed Chloé tights, at the cost of £30 a pair (approximately $50 or so). Would you put your baby in $50 tights? Meh. So far, Harper has been clad in Stella McCartney, Bonpoint and Marie-Chantal. I want Harper to grow up to be a dirty-jeans-wearing tomboy so badly.
Anyway, I’m sure Posh will be front and center at tonight’s British Fashion Awards. Her fashion lines are doing very well, and she’s really remade herself into a modern designer, hasn’t she? In a recent interview, Posh discussed her business:
The Spice Girl told WWD: ‘There are quite a few video conferences at 5 a.m. with me in my dressing gown, holding baby. For me it’s no different than it is for a lot of women out there. It’s like juggling glass balls. I love it.’
The mother-of-four has also been busy creating an e-commerce site, which will go live next year. Victoria’s fashion label is going from strength to strength. She said: ‘Though I’m trying to take baby steps, the business is growing very quickly. Our turnover year-over-year has increased over 120 per cent. I think to anyone’s standards that’s very impressive.’
[From The Mail]
Posh has celebrity clients too – Kate Winslet wears her designs, as does Jessica Simpson and Cameron Diaz (I’m just naming these off the top of my head). But whenever I point out that a celebrity is wearing VB, most of you absolutely hate the ensemble. What does that mean? Does it mean she still has work to do?

She probably keeps her tickets and ID in those fab boots. 🙂
Walking through the airport without even a purse is bad ass! It’s such a pimp move.
I want to gnaw on Harper7’s arms. She’s delicious!
Ditto!
🙂
I’m sure that her purse, suitcase and a stock full of diapers, wipes and baby clothes is on a giant rolling cart right next to her. And I know I”m gonna get flamed for this but I am just not seeing all the cuteness in this baby yet like her boys…=/ I’m sure she’ll grow into her looks though.
@Lucy: yes the boys are handsome and Harper more plain in the face but she wins by a mile with that chubbiness and cute pout. I LOVE chubby babies, you just want to hug them and never let them go. I always though VB was borderline anorexic but having a healthy baby girl shows I was wrong. I always worry that celebrities with weight issues will try to pass on the unhealthy eating to their children. VB gets points from me for showing that it’s not the case with her. Plus carrying that baby with one arm shows she is stronger than I give her credit for.
Why is she holding her baby so awkwardly to keep one hand in her pocket?
looks dangerous. what if she slipped?
Like carrying around a toy doll. *eye rolls*
Yep, that’s exactly what she’s doing. I don’t give a crap about her or her clothing line but dang, woman, at least hold your baby like she is an ACTUAL LIVING BEING. She’s all about working it for the picture and that makes me kinda sick.
She’s prob not used to carrying her child around. I bet they have people who do it for them. 🙂
The baby looks just like the Dad so cute that I still can’t believed they named the child Harper, all I think of when I hear that is Steven Harper and he is anything but cute, wish miley would smoke some of the green with him.
Haha yes! Canada represent! 😉
Too funny. I was thinking that she’s the spitting image of her mother!
She is the spit of her mother. Vicky looks very strange holding her though. “Accessory”, but also, incongruous to me for some reason.
Those photos make it seem like she is strutting the catwalk with a baby as an accessory.
Not that its actually the case but the photos do appear that way.
Glad I read the entire thread because I was just going to say that it looks like the baby is an accessory!
How can she (Posh) look so pissed off while holding that sweet, chubby, little muffin? I seriously doubt she has to juggle sleepless nights, nursing, working 8 hours a day outside of home, plus feeding and cleaning up after her older kids — like most Moms — and she still can’t crack a damn smile while cuddling her baby!
I’m pretty sure that’s her “runway” face for the public and she’s not intentionally looking pissed off.
I really liked the VB dress Eva Longoria wore recently
Actually, I like a great many of Victoria’s designs.
They are beautifully tailored for a woman’s body….
but there is absolutely no way I could ever afford one.
I think Victoria Beckham’s done a great job with her clothing and bag lines. It look like she’s gone with the style of L’Wren Scott (Jagger’s gf who also had a line of clothing that was simple and body conscious yet ladylike). I like the majority of her clothes, although you do need to be a stick to wear them well. And if Ihad a spare $3-4K I’d buy one of her bags at the drop of a hat.
trying too hard to be cool, it’s laughable
I am envisioning Flynn and Harper meeting at celebrity Mommy and Me and falling in baby-love!
Love the boots, but definitely try-hard.
She looks ridiculous holding a baby in one hand and her other in her pocket. It’s a baby not a accessory.
My thoughts exactly.
Cute baby… Posh needs to get of those horrid hair extensions
Where is the nanny that is schlepping the diaper bag, purses etc. ? Always wonder if they are told to stay waaay back so they don’t get in the pics. Jolie-Pitts also don’t carry anything.
Yes Jolie does she keep everything in the big handbag she carry’s she uses them as dipper bags I’ve seen pictures of toy, blanket and jacket hanging out of her handbags. My sister does the something she doesn’t want to carry both a handbag and dipper bag so she but ever thing in a handbag big enough to carry all of her kids stuff.
I’ve seen AJ with a big bag, and the older children carry their own backpacks…
Did we all actually think VB wouldn’t put the most expensive clothing on her one and only girl!. She’s wait a long time to have such a cute accessory!
It annoys me that she never used to carry around any of her boys like this. Seems like she really made all the boys just to get a girl to accessorize herself with…
I feel that way too. Glad to know I’m not alone.
So that means her having her cute boys means they weren’t worth s*** to you then? ALL her kids are beautiful. I don’t know how people can fawn over her just because she is a girl. Girl babies are cuter than boy babies? Where is the logic in that? I think ALL of the kids are adorable.
Anon- you missed the point. We weren’t saying that the kids aren’t cute.
And little boys are lovely, I should know, I have one of my own. 🙂
ITA Celine, and I think her boys were “prettier” and you know that it bugs her that H7 is such a chunk…I bet it’s about to break her bony arm hauling her around the way she does on one side like she’s on parade.
Maybe she’s not wearing her wedding ring?
This woman is the most ridiculous try too hard celebrity on the planet. Her editorial posing like the airport is just a backdrop for her fashion spread of life. Her baby is as nifty accessory as her Birken collection.
All the world’s a catwalk in her mind. Smh
Harper is so adorable though. Pudgy little dumpling.
I agree!
I am just so delighted that FINALLY celebrities are dressing their children properly and aren’t letting them out of the house looking like hobos. I like my stars (and their offspring) to look like stars, thank you. If I wanna see someone looking greasy and tired I’ll look in the mirror.
Thanks for the laugh . . . loved that!
I clicked to read the article just to see if you thought $50 was too much to spend on tights or if it was being cheap (compared to what the parents wear).
Posh always looks so nasty and disinterested. I still dislike her, though Harper is adorable. Poor baby, having such a sour-looking Mum!
I want her boots.
Me too.
Ohh pls how much do you expect a millionaire to spend on her own child??? this article is stupid…. Why the hell is she posing like she is on a catwalk is what I want to know.
agreed, Forever 🙂 who cares about $50 tights? i am not a millionaire, but i dress my nephew in designer jeans. who cares what parents (or caregivers) dress kids in? 😉
From everything I’ve read, they’re involved, great parents. I’m sure she adores that gorgeous baby-but how much effort does it take not to smile at your own child? I know that’s her “thing”–but in every photo I’ve seen of her with Harper she’s NEVER smiling-it’s bizarre-o.
That baby has certainly become Posh’s newest fashion accessory hasn’t she. Never seem to see Posh with anyone but her daughter now days.
I do agree that we aren’t seeing much of the boys these days – but maybe it could be because the media is more interested in the new baby at the moment and aren’t taking as many pics with Vic and her boys as they are of Harper.
I wonder if the bag, purse and baby bag handler has to walk so many steps behind or ahead so that the paps don’t accidentally get one of the peons in their photos…
I absolutely love Victoria’s line. Oprah has worn some of her dresses too and they fit her beautifully. Let me get some money & I’m shilling out for one of her dresses.
Harper is adorable. I love her chubby little cheeks.
I have a baby girl (just turned a year) and although I am very frugal with our money, if I had Posh and Becks type money, you can bet baby would be wearing the cutest tights available!! Baby girls are SO easy to buy for, it’s dangerous!
I agree, so what if her tights cost 50 bucks, they’re probably really cute and comfy tights!
Victoria and David are renown for their hands-on, strict parenting. Those boys of theirs are ridiculously well-behaved.
VB has said often that she knows people think she’s a ‘miserable cow’ because she never smiles. So I think it’s done with intent. Not because she actually IS a miserable cow.
She said in an interview that I watched that she hates her smile. But then she smiled and was so pretty. I wish she weren’t so self-conscious about it because her baby girl needs to see a smiling face around her to feel happier.
What I want to know is if Harper is a baby that hits often because in most every pictures, Posh is holding onto her arm as if to keep it still.
I can’t wait to see her saunter through LAX with Harper thrown over her shoulder casually like a jacket, or wedged under her arm like a clutch. Werk that baby!
Omg!! Love your comment….you’re so right on!! 😉
Whatever. It’s not like they don’t have the money, although wouldn’t it be nice to throw some to a charity every now and then?
Will have to Google and see if Victoria’s clothes are online-does she do ready-to-wear and haute couture? I suspect it’s just ready to wear-the competition in haute couture is fierce.
She holds her baby like the child is a stuffed doll. It’s disgusting.
Little Harper is absolutely adorable! But anyone who spends that amount of money on a baby’s outfit is an idiot. (Spoken like the experienced mother of 3 boys and 1 girl.)
the baby looks like something someone shoved at her right before she hit the cat walk…
Sure does!
I can’t see a thing wrong with the Beckham style of parenting. Maybe some day Brooklyn or Cruz will write a tell-all and we’ll learn about the wire hangers and peeing with the bathroom door open when there are guests, but for now the kids are all healthy, well behaved, well mannered and seem happy. Beckham has been seen a lot with his boys lately, they seem to be doing a lot of manly sporty things, leaving Victoria to play dress-up with that adorable squishy little Harper.
Seriously, point me to a mom who DOESN’T pee with door open (with kids around, guests or not) and I will hand her an award.
Because those precious 30 seconds will result in all sorts of epic f*ckery. I’m not one to tattle, but blue sharpie art and horseradish messes are familiar to me.
Nothing against the baby but Posh is carrying her much as she would any other accessory.
Where is the baby bag? Wipes? Bottles? Diapers? Damn.
(to the tune of Alanis Morrisette)I’ve got one hand in my pocket and the other one’s holding….an accessory!
She always looks so over dressed.
pu..leaze!!!..stop hatin d lady!!..rmbr wen twas nicole kidman and how she carried her baby(full front on).?..now VB,she has had 3boys b4 dis girl and even if she looks anoeroxic,SHE IS SHOWING THE WORLD THAT SHE CAN CARRY A CHUBBY BABY WITH ONE HAND WHILE WEARING KILLER BOOTS!!!! #team VB
