Victoria Beckham: ‘I got married in Dublin a long, long time ago so it’s always great to come back’

Victoria Beckham reminisced about her Irish wedding to footballer David Beckham when she visited Dublin on Wednesday.

She was greeted by a crowd of fans in Brown Thomas on Grafton Street. The fashion designer, known as Posh Spice during her time in the Spice Girls group, was in Dublin to promote her eponymous beauty line, which became available in Ireland last September.

She said visiting the capital is “always such a treat”.

“I’ve been here a few times. I was here a few years ago, and it’s always such a treat to come to Dublin … I got married here, can you believe that? I got married in Dublin a long, long time ago so it’s always great to come back.”

Speaking about their daughter Harper (13), Beckham said: “She’s completely obsessed with make-up and skincare and she is always by my side. She’s a little bit of a mini me.

“She knows as much about make up possibly as I do. I mean, she can tell you everything. So she’s just obsessed with, as I said, make up and skincare and it’s all about the formula. So she has a real point of view for somebody so little, she knows what works for her skin.”

To laughter from the crowd in Brown Thomas, she said: “She likes to wear a little bit of make-up and she does it very well, and very nicely and very naturally. And I did have to point out to her that, you know, you’re not allowed to wear make-up at school. I was told the same thing and she turned to me and she said, but I don’t understand mummy why do they not want me to look my best … I mean, I used to ask the same thing.”
