How the Beckham Family Does Hair Together: From Their Twinning Spiky Crops to Their Gravity-Defying Blowouts

Beckham family hair

Today, while surveying Victoria Beckham’s latest sartorial takes on refined asymmetry, hourglass forms, and slimming silhouettes at her Spring 2016 show, take a moment to train your gaze across the runway on one of the best gene pools to ever grace the front row. We are talking, of course, about her family, a devastatingly handsome brood of six with talent in spades.

It’s not enough that David’s soccer skills inspired a feature film (starring Keira Knightley, no less), or that, long before Victoria was dressing us for night and day, she was spicing up our lives by laying down the foundations for the girl group phenomenon. Now, the pair is parents to Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, who have inherited their camera-friendly good looks and an early knack for footballing. And yet our favorite family skill remains the Beckham clan’s universal command of hair.

For hair soul mates Victoria and David, it was love at first matching pixie cut. Everywhere they went afterward—within a snip of the scissors, the stroke of a highlight, or a scrunch of pomade—they went together. So it was only natural that when two became six, their children would follow suit. For a 2006 trip to Baden-Baden, Victoria, Cruz, and Romeo decided that the German getaway called for wispy golden waves. Two years later, the family was spotted traipsing the streets of New York City with twinning, closely shorn spikes. Next it was off to Los Angeles for a Lakers basketball game, their new crisp hairlines standing side by side.

By 2013, they rolled onto the red carpet of a London premiere with collectively gravity-defying coifs that left the audience looking around for an unidentifiable source of wind. And when Harper finally claimed her role as a front row fixture earlier this year, it was with her father’s signature shade of honey blonde and her mother’s silken blowout. Proof that for these hair chameleons, anything is possible—as long as they do it together.
