The French honour recognises Victoria’s long-standing contribution to fashion and her influence in shaping it as a serious artistic and cultural pursuit. Sharing her gratitude, Victoria took to social media and wrote, “I’m so honoured to be named a Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. I have 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. Thank you also to business partners who believed in me, my family, and especially David — my husband, and original investor. I couldn’t be more grateful, you are my everything xx.”
Photos from the ceremony show the Beckhams rallying around Victoria on her special day. Fans noticed that Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham were absent from the ceremony. For those unaware, a reported tension between Victoria Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham largely traces back to Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding. Nicola was initially expected to wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria, but it didn’t materialise, and she chose Valentino instead. Now, Brooklyn has opened up about Victoria sabotaging his first dance at his wedding with Nicola and his family trying to control the public narrative. While media calls it a feud, both sides have suggested the reality is more complex than headlines make it.
