While all eyes were on Victoria Beckham at her 50th birthday party this weekend, some people couldn’t help but notice her daughter Harper and how the 12-year-old has followed in her mother’s footsteps.
The pre-teen stepped out in a chic satin spaghetti strapped dress with white open-toed heels while carrying a white clutch.
Her outfit unintentionally ignited an internet firestorm.
Although many called Harper “beautiful,” more than a handful called out Victoria and David for allowing their daughter to wear something that was inappropriate for her age.

“She is a pretty girl, but in my opinion and people may think I am old fashioned, but I think the outfit is too old for her.”
“I think it’s a shame Harper was not wearing an age appropriate outfit including shoes. Harper is growing and soon will be taller than her mother.”
“She is 12yrs ..maybe something more suitable for her age to wear”
“She’s a child, she should be doing what other children do at 12 years old.”
“She’s 12…..she should be allowed to continue her childhood, not have her dress up in one of her mother’s cast off’s.”
Even though many people expressed their displeasure with Harper’s outfit, there were a number who came to her defense.
“she is dressed appropriately. It’s a formal occasion and even her shoes are age appropriate.”
“she was at a birthday party if you look she normally wears jeans and trainers she’s getting dressed up for a party like any other teenager”
“maybe Harper wanted to wear the outfit! Didn’t you want to wear outfits that you were considered to old for when you were 12. Maybe wearing outfits now, that are too young for you !!!!”
What do you think of Harper’s outfit? Is it age appropriate? Let us know in the comments! ➕
