Brooklyn and Nicola arrive in Paris for Fashion Week, flirt with Balenciaga, dodge a family clash and see Victoria Beckham's brand post a surprising profit.
On a crisp Tuesday evening, the newlyweds Brooklyn Beckham, 27, and Nicola Peltz Beckham, 31, stepped onto the streets of the French capital amid the buzz of Paris Fashion Week. Their entrance was a coordinated tableau: the pair walked side-by-side, hands intertwined, drawing cameras from every angle as rumours swirled about a possible appearance at the Thursday Balenciaga presentation.
Matching ensembles that echo the iconic couple
Nicola opted for a sleek, low-cut pair of black leather trousers that highlighted her toned midriff, paired with a plain white long-sleeve crop top and classic black heels. She finished the look with a poised, slightly furrowed expression that mirrored the famed poise of her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham.
Brooklyn, meanwhile, displayed his extensive tattoo sleeves beneath a crisp white tee and relaxed oversized brown trousers, creating a street-style contrast that felt both modern and reminiscent of a younger Posh and Becks.
Family tension exacts a delicate dance
The couple’s public stroll came against the backdrop of a simmering family rift. Brooklyn has not attended any Beckham gathering for almost two years, following a six-page statement in January that declared his break from the “Brand Beckham” empire. With Victoria’s own runway show slated for Friday, the couple appears determined to steer clear of a potential face-to-face with the estranged parents, who are expected to fill the front rows of her event.
Victoria Beckham’s runway preparations take a daring turn
While the younger Beckhams plot avoidance, Victoria has been turning heads for a very different reason. On Monday, she was filmed on a Stairmaster while perched in four-inch stilettos, a stunt captured by husband David Beckham, 51, who teased her on Instagram: “Darling I know it’s Fashion Week, but don’t you think you’re taking this a bit too far?” Undeterred, she quipped, “No I’m just training,” and continued her workout, balancing each step with poise. The designer later strutted down the runway in a burgundy leather midi skirt and a pale pink blouse from her eponymous label, reinforcing her reputation for daring yet elegant sartorial choices.
Financial turnaround for Victoria Beckham Holdings
Beyond the catwalk, Victoria Beckham’s business metrics have shifted dramatically. The holding company, which encompasses both fashion and beauty divisions, reported an operating profit of £7.3 million for the year ending December 2025, a stark reversal from the previous year’s £1.5 million loss. The fashion arm alone generated an operating profit of £1.5 million driven by strong sales of the grey “Tilly” T-shirt (£110) and retro-inspired “Alina” jeans (£395) featured in her recent Netflix documentary.
Revenue growth and lingering challenges
Notes to the accounts highlight a 48 % surge in denim unit sales and a 35 % rise in jersey, underscoring the series’ impact. Nevertheless, after-tax figures reveal a loss of £1.7 million for the fashion segment, coupled with a new £1.5 million loan and a steep £17.5 million cost of sales. The brand also carries £59 million in creditor debt. When the beauty division is factored in, the consolidated entity posted an after-tax profit of £2.4 million indicating that diversification is cushioning the fashion side’s volatility.
As Paris Fashion Week reaches its climax, the Beckhams are navigating parallel runways: one of public style and familial diplomacy, the other of corporate profit and strategic growth. Whether the couple will appear at Balenciaga, how Victoria’s show will be received, and what the next fiscal report will reveal remain open questions that fashion watchers will follow closely.
