Victoria Beckham was photographed shopping in New York City on Thursday in a casual white T‑shirt and grey midi skirt, days after Netflix released first images from a forthcoming documentary series that will include footage of her son Brooklyn Beckham despite reports of a family estrangement.
The 51‑year‑old former Spice Girl and fashion designer completed the look with red heels, oversized sunglasses and a teal Hermès Birkin while carrying a crumpled white top tucked into her skirt. Netflix announced the documentary series this year and released an early image of Beckham in a crisp white shirt as part of publicity for a project slated to debut on October 9.
Netflix has described the series as an inside look at Beckham’s fashion and beauty business and said it will follow the designer as she prepares for Paris Fashion Week. Production on the project began in August, and the streamer said it promises exclusive access to Beckham, her family and close collaborators.
People close to the project told media outlets that footage of Brooklyn, 26, will remain in the series even though the couple have not had contact since May. One scene reported to be included shows Brooklyn helping to clear water from a Paris Fashion Week catwalk after a rainstorm. Beckham’s younger sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, are also expected to appear in scenes tied to the fashion shows, including a reported fitting for Cruz.
David Beckham, who starred in his own Netflix documentary released in October 2023, said on NBC’s Today show that persuading his wife to participate was not easy but that he believed audiences should see her work. "It wasn't the easiest thing to get her to agree to, but in my opinion she was the star of mine," he said, adding that she is "unbelievably hard‑working and very clever." The David Beckham documentary received multiple Emmy nominations and a BAFTA nomination and was among Netflix’s most‑watched programs for two weeks after its release, according to Netflix data cited at the time.
Victoria Beckham has given interviews about candid moments captured on camera, telling Harper’s Bazaar that several scenes were not staged. A widely reported exchange in David Beckham’s documentary, in which he teased her about claiming "very working, working class" roots, was described by Victoria as unscripted. She later sold a T‑shirt referencing the moment as part of her clothing line, and the couple recreated the gag in a Super Bowl commercial.
The inclusion of Brooklyn in the new series comes amid continued signs of a rift within the Beckham family. Brooklyn was not present at his brother Romeo’s recent 23rd birthday celebration in London, where David and Victoria attended with other family members. Friends of the family said the absence was noted but that the event remained a low‑key private celebration.
Netflix has not commented beyond its published descriptions of the series. The documentary will join a growing slate of celebrity‑focused projects on streaming platforms that aim to combine personal biography with behind‑the‑scenes access to business operations and major public events.
As publicity builds ahead of the October debut, Beckham continues to divide her time between public appearances, family life and running her fashion and beauty brands. The series will provide viewers with extended access to her professional preparations and family interactions during key moments such as Paris Fashion Week.
