Renowned fashion designer and former Spice Girls member, Victoria Beckham, has received the highest recognition from the French Ministry of Culture for her contributions to the international fashion and entertainment industries.
Victoria, 51, was awarded the title of Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters (Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres) during a private ceremony held in Paris on January 26th.
The Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters is bestowed upon individuals deemed to have made significant contributions to French cultural life and is distinct from the Legion of Honour (Légion d’Honneur), which is the country’s highest national merit.
In her speech, the French Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, praised Victoria’s career path, describing it as a success in building a close and lasting relationship with France.
“Through your journey, your work, and your commitment, you have forged a deep, sincere, and enduring bond with France,” she said.
Victoria began presenting her fashion collections in Paris in 2022, after previously holding shows in London and New York, thereby solidifying her position as a global fashion designer.
However, the ceremony was held modestly following shocking allegations by Brooklyn Beckham last week, who claimed his parents attempted to damage his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
In a social media post, Brooklyn alleged that Victoria once took over his first dance on his wedding day and acted inappropriately. -BOOM!
