Harper Beckham appears to have raided her mother Victoria's wardrobe once again as she headed out for a swanky lunch with her family during their holiday in Formentera. The 14-year-old sported a cream satin dress from her mum's collection as she headed to the Es Moli de Sal restaurant after exiting her parents' private yacht.
Family outing and fashion choices
The look was the spitting image of the silk pieces that Victoria has featured in her collection, and Harper teamed it with a £2,200 Bottega Veneta clutch bag. Showing off her braces with a dazzling smile, Harper was joined by her brother Romeo, 23, his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24, as well as Victoria, 52, and her father David, 51.
Like fellow fashion mogul Lauren Sanchez, Victoria appeared to need a helping hand navigating the rocky terrain in her towering stilettos, with David kindly offering assistance as they departed the yacht together. The Beckhams arrived in Ibiza earlier this week for the school holidays along with their £16 million yacht.
Victoria Beckham's fashion label and future plans
It comes as Victoria, who once had to borrow £30 million from her husband's company, revealed last week that she is open to selling her fashion label. The eponymous brand, founded in 2008, was reported to have debts of £53.9 million in 2022. While sales rose to £112.7 million in 2024, the former Spice Girl said she would 'never say never' to selling.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Victoria was asked: 'Would you ever sell your business?' 'I would never say never and I like to look at opportunities,' she said. 'But at the moment I am looking at growth but I would never say never.'
Victoria continued: 'I'm very excited, this is breaking news, my store in London is showing there is an appetite so we are about to open in New York and Miami. For me until I open the store in NY and Miami, I have been reliant on online but I want to be able to control the experience from the client walking in the store. The next step is retail expansion and we will see where it goes next. I'm very lucky. I'm building a legacy brand there are categories I haven't entered yet so we see a big opportunity and we spent a long time fixing and now it's time for growth. I want to build the house.'
Harper Beckham's beauty line ambitions
Harper is said to be launching a beauty range aimed at Gen Z and Gen Alpha, inspired by South Korean cosmetics, this summer. Back in October, it was revealed the Beckhams had trademarked the name HIKU BY Harper in the UK, paving the way for the beauty line's debut. However, the teenager is said to have suffered a blow to her plans after she was denied naming rights in the US, according to reports.
The US Patent and Trademark Office issued an 'initial refusal' to the name as it could be confused with existing companies. The denial came as 'Harper' is registered for brooms and scrubbing brushes, while 'Hiku' is trademarked for toiletry and fragrance products, according to The Sun. The Beckhams applied for the trademark in November and now have six months to appeal the initial decision. They planned for the name to be trademarked on make-up, acne skincare, footwear, clothing, keyrings, stickers, hair decorations and brushes. The Daily Mail has contacted the Beckhams' representative for comment.
Victoria revealed last month how Harper's 'really bad' battle with acne had inspired the teenager to launch her own beauty brand. Appearing on Emma Grede's podcast Aspire, Victoria explained: 'She came to me two or three years ago and she was really struggling with her skin. She used to have beautiful skin, but like all young girls she was enticed by beauty brands and she was putting a lot of product on her face that was not suitable for her skin and consequently ended up going to see a dermatologist because her skin was really, really bad.'
Victoria detailed her own battles with acne and said she could relate to her daughter's struggles: '[Harper] said, "I want to create a brand because I know what I want and I don't want other people to have to go through what I have been through."' The former Spice Girl said her daughter even approached her with PowerPoint presentations about her proposed beauty brand. 'One [PowerPoint] about this brand that she wanted to create because she was struggling with her skin,' she said. 'And the other one was a reason as to why I should let her have a perm.'
Victoria added: 'I'm so proud of all my children, but you know Harper is very ambitious, she's very appropriate but I don't know what I expected to be honest. I mean, she's been sitting on my lap taking part in beauty development meetings ever since she was little.'
The Beckhams have long protected the rights to their children's names, with Victoria registering Harper's name for use in a range of branded products including make-up, toys and clothing when she was just five years old. At the time, an intellectual property expert said it was unprecedented to trademark a child's name because the move is usually reserved for those who are already celebrities. Oliver Bray, a partner at international law firm RPC, told the Daily Mail: 'It normally happens when your career is getting going and a lawyer says, "Let's get some protection in place." As opposed to the future-proofing which is what Victoria Beckham has done with her children. It may be a sign of the times with social media and the whole way in which celebrities are exploited. In order to give you more levers to control your image, a trademark is an obvious place to go and it might be that society is driving the Beckhams to use these levers to protect their children in this more manipulative world in which we live. But from another point of view, you could call it savvy and looking to the future.'
