Beckham Nepo-Baby Mocked for ‘Awkward’ Fashion Week Debut

Samir Hussein / Samir Hussein/WireImage The son of British soccer star David Beckham and Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham has left some onlookers disappointed with his New York Fashion Week runway debut.

On Sept.

10, the first day of New York Fashion Week, Romeo Beckham walked in Tommy Hilfiger’s Spring/Summer 2027 presentation held in the lobby of The Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.

The 24-year-old model was the last to walk the runway, claiming the most coveted slot at most fashion shows.

The closing spot is typically reserved for the collection’s most important or defining outfit, often modeled by the biggest name on the runway.

Still, despite his high profile, some did not believe Romeo deserved the honor.

Romeo walked the runway in a relaxed style with his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless.

He modeled a light pink button-up shirt with a color-block tie, a flannel, gray shorts, and brown leather loafers with black socks.

Multiple fashion outlets posted videos of the walk, and comments quickly filled with people calling it “awkward” and claiming that Romeo got the job purely through nepotism.

“Proof you can do anything if your parents are famous,” one person commented on Dazed’s Instagram .

Some commenters compared the walk to “walking to the bar to get a pint.” One person wrote: “When your mom tells you to go tidy up your room for the fifth time.” On British Vogue’s Instagram account, commenters wondered what instructions Romeo received before his debut.

“What was the talk before the show?” One person questioned.

“Give me nothing and just walk???” “Looks more like a bloke walking to the chip shop.

No style, no grace, no strut,” another person wrote on Page Six’s video .
