Beckhams Put on United Front as Posh Receives French Knighthood

Victoria Beckham was honored for her cultural impact and fashion innovations, with France's Minister of Culture praising her meticulous design and role-model status.

  • On January 26, Victoria Beckham was named a Chevalière de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in Paris by the French Ministry of Culture at an intimate ceremony during the first day of couture shows.
  • The ministry cited Beckham's decades-long path from 1990s fame with the Spice Girls to the 2008 founding of the Victoria Beckham label, highlighting the Order of Arts and Letters' recognition of major cultural contributions.
  • At the ceremony, Dati pinned a green ribbon and medallion on Beckham, who immediately affixed the medal to a little black dress from her pre-fall collection as Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful, and François‑Henri Pinault cheered.
  • In a post on Monday evening, Victoria Beckham thanked the French Ministry of Culture and described the honour as a profound privilege, sharing photos with Dame Anna Wintour, Sir David Beckham, and family before joining a private dinner with friends, designers and editors.
  • Absent from the ceremony were Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham, amid a family fallout after Brooklyn's Instagram accused his parents of prioritising `Brand Beckham`, while Beckham's Hermès Kelly bag kept luxury brands visible despite Hermès missing Spring 2026 Haute Couture Week.
