It feels like just yesterday Harper was the adorable toddler stealing the spotlight at her mom’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week show in New York City back in 2012. As the years have rolled by, fans have watched Harper bloom into the poised young woman she is today. If there’s a tear in your eye, you’re not alone. Let’s revisit Harper’s remarkable journey!

From tomboy to a budding fashionista! In July 2011, the Beckham family joyfully welcomed Harper, their first daughter, into the world, joining her three older brothers, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz. Before Harper’s arrival, David expressed his delight about becoming a father to a girl. “We’re still in shock. Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon. Our three boys are happy and excited, and Victoria is doing well,” he shared with People in March 2011.

Tomboy turned makeup-obsessed! In July 2011, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, along with their three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, welcomed a brand new baby girl to their brood. Ahead of Harper’s birth, David shared his feelings about finding out he was finally going to be a girl dad. “We’re still in shock. Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon. Our three boys are happy and excited, and Victoria is doing well,” he gushed to People in March 2011.

Harper’s evolution extends beyond her fashion choices. Gone are the days when she donned outfits solely picked by her mom. Even at the tender age of four, Harper began asserting her style preferences. “Harper is incredibly chic,” Victoria told The New York Times during her 2016 fall fashion show. “She’s a very stylish little thing with her own sense of how she wants to dress. She tends to choose exactly what she wears herself.”

Later on, however, it appeared that Harper officially entered her makeup girlie era. In 2023, Victoria told The Times that her daughter was “obsessed with make-up.” She added, “There isn’t a single product in Sephora or Space NK that she doesn’t know.” Still, Victoria has been very clear that Harper isn’t one to cake the stuff on. “Harper had makeup on the other day,” she told host Alex Cooper during a 2025 appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “Very natural, very beautiful. She’s got lovely skin.”

It’s not just Harper Beckham’s skincare and makeup routine that’s gotten an overhaul over the years. Long gone are the days when baby Harper would show up wearing whatever her mom put her in. Even at the ripe old age of four, she was calling the shots. “Harper is incredibly chic,” Victoria told The New York Times while backstage at her 2016 fall fashion show. “She’s a very stylish little thing with her own sense of how she wants to dress. She tends to choose exactly what she wears herself.”

Interestingly, Harper also has some thoughts about her mother’s Spice Girl-era fashion. It’s no secret that Victoria, herself, has also undergone quite the stunning transformation — especially as it relates to her wardrobe. Alas, during an interview with Vogue Australia in July 2022, Victoria recalled a moment wherein Harper took her to task over her prior fashion choices. “She actually said to me recently, ‘Mummy, I’ve seen some pictures of you when you were in the Spice Girls and your skirts were just unacceptable. They were just too short.’” Perhaps all the bad clothing is the real reason Victoria stopped singing? The world may never know.

In case you missed it, Harper Beckham is no longer living under the shadow of her famous parents or her three older brothers. She can do bad all by herself! On “Call Her Daddy,” Victoria Beckham revealed that while Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz tended to be very protective of their little sister, they didn’t have to be. “She can look after herself,” Victoria declared. 

But that’s not all. It appears that Harper is making a name for herself in the business world, too. In October 2024, while in New York for the launch of her mother’s fragrance, Reverie, Harper wrote on a card that she had aspirations “to create an amazing brand when I’m older” (via the Daily Mail). Cut to October 11, when The Sun reported that Victoria’s company filed two trademark applications for the name HIKU by Harper. “Harper loves fashion and make-up and has already started doing make-up tutorials,” a source told the outlet. “The plan is to create a brand aimed at the younger market, taking inspiration for pop culture and Korean beauty.” 

While Victoria has remained notably mum about the trademark applications, she did hint that Harper was well on her way to carving out her own brand in 2018. “She knows she can do everything and probably more than her brothers do. … We talk about it a lot. … She wants to be an inventor, and she’s very proud of that. She’s a strong, smart woman,” she told a room full of people while speaking at the 2018 Forbes’ Women’s Summit.
