Victoria Beckham and her husband David Beckham made a striking impression at the TIME100 Impact Dinner in New York City on Thursday evening.
The couple arrived looking impeccably stylish, showing the world they’re still very much a united front despite the ongoing family tensions with their eldest son, Brooklyn.
Fashion and Elegance on the Red Carpet
Victoria, 51, who’s known for her sharp fashion sense, opted for a sleek black tuxedo jacket and matching pants, paired with a crisp white button-up shirt.
She completed the look with pointed-toe black boots and wore her brunette hair in soft waves.
Her makeup was polished with voluminous lashes and a nude lip, perfectly balancing elegance and edge.
David, 50, looked effortlessly dapper in a classic black suit and tie, sporting a neatly trimmed light beard.
The former football star and style icon seemed to enjoy the night, standing proudly beside his wife as they posed for photos.
Celebrating David’s Philanthropic Achievements
Earlier that day, Victoria expressed heartfelt pride for David, who had just been named on the prestigious Time100 Philanthropy list.
She took to social media to gush over his dedication, writing, “So proud of you, @davidbeckham.
You put your heart into everything you do, and your passion for giving back inspires me every day.”
David was honored for his long-standing commitment to charitable work, especially his advocacy with UNICEF.
At the dinner, the Beckhams mingled with other notable philanthropists like NBA star Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha, who were recognized for their work improving literacy in underprivileged communities in Oakland, California.
A Glimpse into David’s Personal Struggles
In a candid interview with TIME, David opened up about a bittersweet side of his life.
Despite turning 50 and having had an illustrious football career, he admitted to feeling like “something’s missing.”
He reflected on how much he misses the daily routine of training and the thrill of playing on weekends.
David also revealed the couple’s fitness routines with a touch of humor — he claims he works harder than Victoria, though she contests that with longer gym sessions.
The Unseen Family Rift with Brooklyn
While Victoria and David presented a united, glamorous front in New York, back home the family situation is more complicated.
Their son Brooklyn, 26, has been distant amid a very public feud.
Recently, Brooklyn was in London for a modeling campaign but stayed clear of the Beckham family home, highlighting the growing distance.
The tension has left both Victoria and David visibly upset.
Victoria tried to extend an olive branch by sharing a heartfelt Instagram photo of their four children with her father, captioning it with a message of love and unity.
David’s Fear of History Repeating Itself
David’s worries run deeper than just the current family spat.
He reportedly fears that his falling out with Brooklyn mirrors his own troubled relationship with his father, Ted Beckham.
Years ago, David and Ted were estranged for several years before a health scare helped them reconcile.
Now, David is desperate to mend fences with Brooklyn, afraid that the same pain and distance will continue to affect their family.
Social Media Signals and Attempts at Reconciliation
Over the past few days, both David and Victoria have made subtle efforts on social media to bridge the gap.
David shared a touching black-and-white photo of Victoria with their children on Mother’s Day, celebrating the family despite the strains.
Victoria also posted about receiving flowers from their son Cruz and his girlfriend, a reminder of the closeness that still exists between some family members.
