Victoria Beckham shared a sweet moment on stage with her daughter, Harper, as she collected a Harper’s Bazaar women of the year award.
The fashion designer and Spice Girls star was recognised with an entrepreneur prize for her “innovation and dedication to the British and global fashion industry”.
Her daughter Harper presented the award on stage, organisers said, and the pair were pictured together before the event.
The 13-year-old, who is the youngest of Victoria and David Beckham‘s four children, has previously attended fashion events with her mum, as well as the premiere of her football star dad’s Netflix documentary, released last year.
Singer Raye and actresses Nicola Coughlan, Sophie Turner and Ambika Mod were also among the stars honoured at the Harper’s Bazaar Women Of The Year ceremony, held at Claridge’s Hotel in London.

Author Dame Jilly Cooper was presented with her prize by Poldark star Aidan Turner, who stars in the current hit Disney+ adaptation of her book, Rivals. His co-stars Bella Maclean and Alex Hassell were also there to show support for the writer – who was honoured for “her extraordinary half-century contribution to literature”, organisers said.
Killing Eve and Silo star Dame Harriet Walter, 74, was given the icon award for her long-running career in theatre, film and TV. The gong was presented by Brian Cox, who played her former husband, the fearsome Logan Roy, in the hit series Succession.

On the red carpet, Dame Harriet said she hoped to “represent all the other older women who are still good at their job”. She added: “I feel very lucky and if I can inspire anybody to keep going and believe in themselves, that’s a good thing.”
Actors Jodie Comer, Golda Rosheuvel and Paapa Essiedu, and Love Island host Maya Jama were among the stars presenting awards at the event.
