Victoria, 50, looked radiant in an ivory silk suit from her eponymous label. Her ensemble included fluid, wide-leg trousers and a single-breasted blazer secured at the waist with a delicate tie.
The silky fabric draped elegantly, adding a sophisticated touch to her look. Harper, accompanying her mother in a coordinated yet youthful style, wore an icy blue slip dress with a floor-length silhouette.

Her dress, crafted from a similarly soft, flowing material, featured a diamond-shaped cut-out at the chest and slim straps. Harper’s look was understated, with her long, straight hair parted down the middle and minimal accessories, aligning her style with her mother’s polished elegance.

Another netizen criticized the choice, “This dress is not good for this kid. Mother shame on you [sic].” One comment read, “Nice [pajamas] and nightgown. Good night 🛌,” while another echoed, “They look like wearing [pajamas].” A user simply labeled Harper a “Nepo child,” referencing her privileged position as Victoria’s daughter.

Another commented warmly, “🔥 Harper looks awesome wearing that dress. Beautiful young lady! 🦋” Admirers of Victoria and Harper’s styles joined in, with one stating, “Beautiful outfits,” and another expressing nostalgia, “She [sic] all grown up and beautiful 😢 Where did the time go??”
In front of a gathering of celebrities and fashion elites, the 13-year-old stood confidently, yet admittedly nervous, in her mother’s designer dress, ready to honor her mom in a way that truly showed their close bond.

As Harper continued, her words reflected not only her joy but also the values instilled by her mom. She shared, “The winner is someone I have always looked up to. She’s built an incredible business from the ground up and has showed me the value of working hard, dreaming big, and setting my standards.”
Harper spoke earnestly about Victoria’s influence, adding, “She’s taught me so much about what it takes to succeed. But above all else, she’s taught me to always be kind, and even though she has a million things to do, she rarely misses school.”

Victoria emphasized the importance of motherhood in her life, adding, “You teach me to see the world through fresh eyes. And as busy as I am, being a mum is the most important job to me. So thank you.”
Surprisingly enough, this memorable evening wasn’t the first time Victoria and Harper have captured attention together. Just last month, the pair made headlines at a star-studded event in Los Angeles, where Harper’s outfit sparked a similar wave of mixed reactions online.
