The Beckhams put the family drama aside as they put on a strong front in support of Victoria Beckham, who received an award from the culture ministry for her contributions to the fashion and entertainment industries.
Victoria and her husband, former England football captain David Beckham, travelled to Paris with their children, Cruz, Romeo and Harper. Their sons, Cruz and Romeo, came along with their girlfriends.
The British celebrity couple’s eldest son, Brookyln, however, was not in attendance. Prior to Brooklyn dropping his bombshell tell-all about the family rift, had skipped out on several public family appearances.
Taking to Instagram, Victoria thanked her family, and especially David, her husband, and “original investor”.
The fashion designer expressed what the accolade meant to her, having always "deeply admired the French aesthetic and the seriousness with which it treats fashion: as a form of art."
"So to be recognised here and embraced in this way, is a profound privilege — one that reflects decades of commitment and dedication. My sincere thanks to the French Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati for this honour."
Victoria was named an "Officer of the Order of the Arts and Letters" by the French Ministry of Culture. French Culture Minister Rachida Dati praised Beckham as "a global icon that holds a very special place in the hearts of French people". Dati paid tribute to Beckham's "meticulous, almost architectural" approach to clothing, according to a copy of the speech sent to AFP.
The Order of the Arts and Letters is reserved for figures judged to have contributed to France's cultural life and is separate to the more prestigious Legion of Honour ("Legion d'honneur"), the state's top award.
President Emmanuel Macron decorated Louis Vuitton designer and rapper Pharrell Williams with a Legion of Honour last Friday at a private ceremony attended by US rappers Pusha T and Future.
Former England captain David Beckham received a knighthood from King Charles III in November in what he called his "proudest moment".
