Victoria Beckham and her daughter Harper looked glamorous for a girls’ night out at the ballet, a day after David finally got a knighthood.
Posh Spice, 51 – who became Lady Beckham as her husband led the King’s Birthday Honours list – attended the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland ballet in London with her daughter, 13, on Friday.
Calling the occasion a ‘special night’, Victoria and Harper posed for a photo from their box at the Royal Ballet & Opera house which the mother-of-five shared to her Instagram Stories.
The former Spice Girl cut a stylish figure for the evening in a grey skirt and a black top layered with a co-ordinated blazer, while Harper looked glamorous in a pink dress.
Victoria seemed elated to be spending some one-on-one time with her daughter, captioning the post: ‘Special night at the ballet. I love you Harper.’

It came just hours after Victoria shared a gushing tribute to her ‘knight in shining armour’ Sir David Beckham
Victoria’s night at the ballet came hours after she shared a gushing tribute to her husband of 25 years Sir David following his knighthood.
The former England captain, 50, proudly led in the King’s Birthday Honours list after being in the running for more than a decade.
Congratulating her husband, Victoria shared a loved-up photo to Instagram and wrote: ‘You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir David!!! What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you.
‘Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.
‘The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday.’
She concluded: ‘But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx’
David declared himself ‘immensely proud’ as he finally received a knighthood after years of being snubbed.
He said he ‘never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour’, as his Spice Girl wife Victoria also becomes Lady Beckham.
David, 50, had been in the running for a knighthood for more than a decade and at last led the King’s Birthday Honours list this week
The former England football captain previously missed out when a ‘red flag’ from the taxman blocked him becoming a Sir in 2014.

Leaked emails suggested he had savaged the nominations committee as ‘unappreciative c***s’ and branded their decision ‘a disgrace, to be honest’, although his office subsequently insisted they had been doctored by a hacker.
But that was all behind him today as Sir David proudly led the King’s Birthday Honours list recognising 1,200 people from community champions to cultural icons.
The day before Sir David was given the honour, he was seen chatting with the King at a St James’s Palace ceremony for the monarch’s foundation, of which the retired footballer is an ambassador. He has been made a knight for his services to sport and to charity.
He said: ‘Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.’
Congratulating her husband, Victoria shared a loved-up photo to Instagram and wrote: ‘You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir David!!!’
David added: ‘To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true.’
He said that, off the pitch, his charity work ‘gives me so much fulfilment’, and added: ‘It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I’m immensely proud and it’s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.’
He has been made a knight for his services to sport and to charity, having partnered with Unicef and campaigned with Malaria No More, a charity working to eradicate the disease.
Sir David was made an OBE in 2003 and has been in the running for a knighthood for more than a decade.
