While the Spice Girls reunited to celebrate their bandmate Mel C’s wedding over the weekend in Cumbria, Victoria Beckham was across the pond in New York City.
The fashion mogul, who is currently abroad with her family in the United States, was pictured out in the Big Apple with her family recently as she was forced to skip her former bandmate’s nuptials in the UK on Saturday. Victoria was supported by her husband David Beckham and three of their children – Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14 – at a special pop-up event for her Victoria Beauty perfume, Portofino ‘97, at Caffe Paradiso in Manhattan’s Nolita neighbourhood.
The Victoria Beckham Beauty founder and entrepreneur was effortlessly elegant as always in a flattering navy midi dress with her highlighted tresses worn out in waves. She complemented her look for the day with a pair of brown cutout heels.
Victoria first launched her eponymous beauty brand’s signature perfume, which was the focus of the temporary NYC cafe takeover, in September 2023. Her family looked like they couldn’t be prouder as David had his arm around her supportively in one photo while Harper looked ever so grown up in all denim in a sweet mother-daughter picture.

The singer married her partner at The Country House in Cumbria; a 19th century property in a secluded countryside area.
The bride’s former bandmate Geri Halliwell-Horner and Geri’s husband Christian Horner were spotted arriving for the nuptials on Saturday. Spice Girls stars Emma Bunton and Mel B were also in attendance for the low-key wedding.
Despite being absent, Victoria reportedly still played a special role in the ceremony. According to The Mail, Victoria was the designer behind Mel’s wedding gown. The outlet also reported Mel’s teenage daughter, Scarlett, 17, whom she shares with her ex-partner, Thomas Starr, served as a bridesmaid for the ceremony.

Victoria was unable to attend the ceremony as she has been in the US with her husband and their family for the 2026 World Cup.
The Beckham brood were spotted supporting England at many of their matches, including the semi-final against Argentina on 15 July, which ended in a devastating 1-2 loss for England and dashed their World Cup final dreams.
England ended up coming in third after beating France on Saturday, a victory which David gushed on social media as a “great way to end the tournament”.
