Happy Birthday, Harper Beckham! The youngest Beckham offspring turned 15 on 10 July, and throughout her life, the mini fashionista has slowly become a quiet icon, thanks to her early love of all things stylish.
However, there's one item that has become synonymous with the youngster, and that's the minimalist slip dress. Harper first stepped out in the simple frock, which is widely regarded as a humble wardrobe staple, on her 12th birthday.

Harper paid a visit to the Prada Café in Harrods, London, and donned the prettiest lilac silk slip dress from her fashion designer mother, Victoria. The simple style gave a strong, strategic balance between pre-teen experimental style and what is deemed age-appropriate. Fans loved how she gave the elegant style her own 'Harper' twist - adding chunky trainers and socks.

From that moment, the slip dress became Harper's go-to. She's worn the same style throughout her teens, donning red, navy blue, bubblegum pink, and classic black, reinventing the ensemble and giving it a fresh, youthful stance.

Harper's dress has her mother, former Spice Girl Victoria's seal of approval, too. "They suit her, and they're appropriate," VB told The Telegraph in 2024.

Harper has long taken a keen interest in fashion, and it started when she was just a tot. In 2015, Harper sat in the front row at Burberry's 'London in Los Angeles' runway show. At the tender age of just three, the little girl joined her three brothers and parents at the UK heritage brand's preview opening, where she sat alongside former Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.

Two years later, in 2017, lucky Harper went to Buckingham Palace with David to attend a royal tea party with friends at the landmark London location, wearing a beautiful butterfly-eyelet dress by Chloé. "She loves fashion. She loves beauty. And I'm pretty sure she would love to get her hands on those Spice Girls costumes," Victoria joked at the Time100 Summit earlier this year.
