It was a big moment for Victoria Beckham when she unveiled her latest collection in a show at Paris Fashion Week last night.
The designer, 51, was supported by husband David and three of their children in the French capital - but, as ever, eldest son Brooklyn was absent.
Instead, he appeared to try to upstage her by sharing a photo on Instagram of him kissing wife Nicola Peltz, following his 27th birthday celebrations with her family earlier this week.
The aspiring chef publicly cut ties with his family in January after years of feuding, with a bombshell statement that began: 'I do not want to reconcile with my family.'
Lady Beckham and Sir David, 50, offered their son an olive branch on Wednesday with affectionate birthday messages posted on social media.
Lady Beckham wrote: 'We love you so much.' Brooklyn gave them no acknowledgement in return.

A source told E News: 'Brooklyn and Nicola are disheartened they chose to make public Instagram posts for his birthday.
'These are the exact type of performative public actions that Brooklyn has been trying to put an end to, to no avail.
'Last summer [he and Nicole] issued a legal letter to his parents requesting that any correspondence go through lawyers.'
One of the last times Brooklyn saw his mother was at her Paris Fashion Show in September 2024.
Sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, are attending this show, along with daughter Harper, 14, and Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 31.

Lady Beckham, who has been in the capital since Monday preparing for her fall/winter show, was waiting inside for her loved ones.
On Thursday, Cruz told reporters in Paris that he 'hoped' to reconcile with his older brother and wished him a happy birthday.
