Harper Beckham looked every inch her mother’s daughter as she watched Spain’s World Cup semi final win over France on Tuesday night.
Victoria Beckham’s teenager, who turned 15 last week, nailed her mother’s iconic Posh Spice pout as she watched Spain win 2-0 at the Dallas Stadium in Texas.
Harper wore a Spain football jacket, while standing next to her brothers, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21 and Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30.
Her dad David has played in both Spain and France over his career, with stints at Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain but the Beckham family’s loyalty lay with Spain on Tuesday night.
Wearing her Spain jacket from her brother Romeo’s retro-inspired sportswear brand Intra, Harper failed to raise a smile, thereby looking the spitting image of her mum.
Earlier this week David defended his wife Victoria, insisting she was ‘celebrating on the inside’ after her subdued reaction to England’s nail-biting World Cup quarter-final clash went viral.

The Beckham family were among the stars watching the Three Lions match against Norway in Miami on Saturday night.
Whilst former England captain David and his kids went suitably wild when Jude Bellingham scored an epic goal in the first-half stoppage time, a pouting Victoria, 52, remained seated.
Photos of a cheering David leaping up from his seat whilst his wife, who famously rarely smiles, stayed seated have turned the Spice Girl into an instant meme, prompting David to jokingly defend his wife.
The football legend commented on stand-up comedian Jenny Johnson’s summary of the match, after she wrote: ‘There’s nothing like cheering your heart out for England from home, then they cut to Victoria and we see that classic Posh Spice smile! It’s so infectious!’
‘I used to think I got animated while watching sports, but Victoria blows my enthusiasm out of the water! Each time I see her I shout, “SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!!!” because her energy is electric!!!’
Commenting with a string of crying laughing emojis, David wrote: ‘She was celebrating inside I promise her reactions were slightly slower than mine.’
Victoria did warm up to the infectious energy inside Miami Stadium as she was later seen getting into the spirit by clapping along as England won the match 2-1.
The fashion designer and singer has famously said that she wasn’t a fan of football when she met David at a Manchester United match in 1997.

Ever the doting wife, Victoria ensured she attended every game she could, but confessed she didn’t enjoy the sport because she didn’t feel ‘wanted’ when she was pitch side.
However, in recent years Victoria has had a change of heart after David retired and set up his own club Inter Miami.
Victoria told the Financial Times in 2024: ‘I never enjoyed watching football. I never felt necessarily wanted [at the matches]. I’m not saying this as in, poor me, but it was never the fun that it is now.
‘Now, when we’re in Miami, I feel wanted. I’m friends with the families of the players.’
Victoria has now joined David at two World Cup games and will no doubt be in the crowd at Atlanta Stadium on Wednesday to watch the semi final showdown between England and Argentina for the remaining spot in the final.
