It has been over a week since Beckxit, and despite David Beckham's recent statements on social media, his family seems to be keeping mum. That is, until they hit the Paris fashion scene last week. The usually stoic family members showed up at the Hermès fashion show looking demure, yet unmistakably "on message."
Victoria Beckham, for instance, rocked a stunning Schiaparelli outfit, complete with an intricate gold brooch that read "Victoria Victoria". Her partner David, sporting a chic Momotaro jacket from Japan, seemed to be channeling his inner designer. He paired the outfit with a ridiculously large Hermès bag - because what's a fashion show without one of those? The overall effect was undoubtedly "beauty".
Now, while this move may have been seen as an obvious choice by some, others might say it's a bit too calculated. Andy Milligan, brand consultant and author of Brand Beckham: Like Beckham, points out that David Beckham has always been a master of his craft when it comes to projecting an image. "How you appear – your costume, your demeanour, the way you comport yourself – is critically important," he states.
This particular interpretation does hold some merit, especially given the Beckhams' extensive experience with crisis management and branding. When words fail, clothes can indeed say a lot more than they're letting on.
What started as a reaction to David Beckham's recent social media statements could potentially be interpreted as nothing more than his family trying to keep up appearances - a phenomenon known in the fashion world as "revenge dressing." After all, as Diana, Princess of Wales famously did with her iconic black shirred dress at a London gala in 1994, clothes can serve as a way to express emotions and exact revenge on those who wronged us.
Royals are particularly skilled at using fashion as a means of communication, according to Jacki Vause, CEO of Dimoso PR. They often "cock a snoot" by wearing modern, classy outfits without saying anything.

. david's recent social media comments must've sent shockwaves through their inner circle, and victoria's seemingly innocuous outfit choice might actually be a calculated risk to reassert her family's status as style icons 
. it's all about perception - the way they present themselves to the world can either be seen as a unifying force or a contrived attempt to maintain appearances 
. what's behind this move, really? is it just a case of revenge dressing, or are we witnessing something more profound about the power of fashion to shape our identities and relationships? 
and everyone got all hyped 
but really it's just them pulling off another calculated move 
like they've been doing this for years and we're all just along for the ride 
.
️ It's all about perception, right? They want to keep their family vibes on point without getting drawn into a drama fest. The outfits are fire, btw! 
I'm not sure if it was a calculated move or just good old-fashioned revenge dressing 
But one thing's for sure, the Becks' fam knows how to bring the fashion heat 
I'm literally loving this revenge dressing vibe the Beckhams are giving us right now 
and honestly, who wouldn't want to be that stylishly sassy? 
I mean, Victoria rocking that Schiaparelli outfit? Goals, fam! 
. It's all about finding that balance between making a statement and not looking try-hard.
. The Beckhams have been in this game for years, navigating crisis after crisis with their PR skills on point 
! It's like she's saying, 'I may be keeping mum on social media, but my fashion game is ON 
.' 
. And yeah, "revenge dressing" is definitely a thing in the fashion world 
like they're trying to outsmart everyone with their fashion choices. Newsflash: we all know they're just as scripted as ever 
. I mean, David's Hermès bag was so big and bold, it's like he was saying "look at me, I'm a fashion icon...and also I have no shame". And let's be real, that gold brooch on Victoria's outfit? That's not art, that's just a cheap way to show some love for herself 
. 
They can rock a designer suit and still manage to look like they're trying too hard. At least with the Beckhams, we can see what's going on behind those carefully crafted smiles 
. Can't say the same for our politicians 
.
! But yeah, I get what they're saying about David's outfit being a bit... calculated 
! david's choice of jacket from japan was kinda bold tho 
his momotaro jacket from japan was a nice touch too 
but seriously tho, it's all about image management for this fam 
. David's outfit was on point 
. I don't blame them, though - if you've got a message, clothes can say it better than words 
! David's been killing it on social media, and it's cool to see his fam keeping up with him. But, at the same time, you can't help but feel like they're all trying too hard - it's like, chill, guys, you don't need to spell it out with that Hermès bag 
.
! 
Meanwhile, Victoria is over here slaying the Schiaparelli game like a boss
