Victoria and David Beckham’s Mums Took on London Fashion Week

Their front-row fashion even matched.

It’s tradition for Victoria Beckham’s immediate family—her husband, David, plus their kids Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—to sit front row at her namesake label’s show during London Fashion Week. But at her latest on Sunday, for fall 2020, the Beckham clan expanded to include two more: David and Victoria’s mums, Sandra West and Jackie Adams.

In Brooklyn’s absence, his younger brothers attempted to steal the spotlight; Cruz wore a brightly colored sweater, and Romeo piled on a number of chains. But it was Adams (Victoria’s mother) and West (David’s mom) who stood out, even though both took a low-key approach to front-row fashion. Each wore light gray pumps and a blazer atop a white blouse, which served to highlight both of their heads of iridescent, meticulously combed hair. (West was at one point a hairdresser at a nursing home.) Their matching looks prompted quite a few comments about the pair on Victoria’s Instagram. Even David noted that they looked like sisters.

Both David and Victoria are known to fawn over their mothers on Instagram, taking care to tag each of their private accounts. They also make a point to celebrate both of their birthdays—most memorably in 2018, when they piled the likenesses of all 11 of Adams’s grandchildren onto her birthday cake.

Adams, on the other hand, often takes a more innovative approach to showing her affection—like naming the ugliest fish in her koi pond after a tabloid journalist who was particularly nasty to her daughter and son-in-law.
