Victoria Beckham divides followers over second dress slammed as 'inappropriate' for 11-year-old daughter Harper

Victoria Beckham sparked debate again as she toasted a triumphant time at Paris Fashion Week. As the Spice Girl turned world renowned fashion designer was joined by her loving family last week for her first ever Paris runway show, some followers questioned the choice of a black lace camisole dress for daughter Harper, 11.

missmarple07 commented as Victoria shared snaps from the show: "This dress is far to grown up for a girl of Harpers age." emmalambert_90 said: "Harper looks way to young for that dress." And bayliss.karen said the look was "just so inappropriate."

The star's Instagram followers broke into another debate after the 48-year-old doting mum-of-four shared a new batch of photos as she celebrated her team, and the support from her nearest and dearest, after showcasing her spring/summer 2023 collection. "What an incredible week!! I’m so so proud of my team!! Team VB we did it!!! Time to celebrate with friends, family and @DonJulioTequila x" she wrote as she posted a photo of herself smiling as she raised a glass in a stunning emerald green dress.

Another picture showed Harper, her youngest child with Manchester United footballing icon David Beckham, smiling for the camera as she wore a sunshine yellow version of the black dress. She added a laid-back touch to the look by donning coordinating yellow trainers.

But the wardrobe pick again came in for criticism. Aam2091 asked Victoria: "Why didn't you design a proper kids dress for Harper?" They added: "I mean this dress is for a woman and it's too big for a kid."

cotton9_ o said: "Harper is so cute but that yellow dress is all wrong for her age what a shame." And nichola.farmer40 wrote: "Inappropriate dress for a child her age."

sharonmccarthykisby said: "Totally agree, far too young to wear this dress." And barper.25 said: "It’s not her fault is it..but I do think a woman’s low cut dress on a child is never appropriate. That’s my opinion."

But carmen_rdam defended: "@aam2091 she’s wearing sneaker underneath which makes it kids proof to me." And jazzbo100 pointed out: "It has flesh coloured material on it."

kristie_archer85 asked: "What’s inappropriate about it? It doesn’t show anything. Not to mention if a kid wears a bikini you see more skin than this." And msanselmo8 exclaimed: "Oh come on. You can’t even see anything it’s not her skin, it’s a panel. Leave her be."
