Fans have rallied behind fashion icon Victoria Beckham following a wave of online criticism regarding her daughter Harper's 12th birthday attire.
The former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer, showcased glimpses of Harper's birthday bash via Instagram this past weekend.
Power couple David and Victoria treated their youngest child to a lavish celebration at the sophisticated Prada Caffè, situated within the luxurious Harrods in London on Friday (July 7), a few days prior to her actual birthday (July 10). Harper's older brothers, Romeo and Cruz, were also part of the intimate family celebration.
The birthday girl, Harper, was seen donning a silky purple dress, while Victoria was elegantly clad in a floor-length black strap dress. The family snapshots quickly caught the attention of social media users, with many showering compliments on the stylish mother-daughter duo.
However, not all comments were favorable. A fraction of online users expressed their disapproval of Harper's outfit choice, claiming it wasn't suitable for a girl her age and drawing comparisons to lingerie. Despite these criticisms, the majority of Victoria's fans swiftly came to her defense, emphasizing the designer's impeccable taste in fashion.
One fan wrote: "I feel so bad for the Beckhams and Harper. People seem to judge everything she and her parents do and why is so much worse for their little girl than it ever was for their boys. Says a lot about the world! She looks lovely, she looks happy."
Another agreed: "Can everybody mind their own business and let Victoria parent her own child.. Harper doesn’t look exactly miserable, in fact it’s a very loving and happy pic.."
A third penned: "If Harper was pleased with her outfit and her parents thought it was acceptable, then all I have to say is , 'Happy Birthday Harper!' What other people wear is definitely not my business."
A fourth commented: "For goodness sake! Just give the Beckhams a break! It’s obvious that they have nothing but love for their kids. Let them be!"
