Victoria Beckham is a proud mom!
The fashion designer was given the Entrepreneur Award at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year awards on Tuesday, November 5, in London, and the prize was presented to her by none other than her daughter, Harper, 13.
Victoria and husband David Beckham’s youngest child joked that she was happy to be at the ceremony, “especially as tonight is a school night, and hopefully this isn’t going to get me into trouble,” per the Daily Mail.
Harper continued to gush over her mom’s fashion empire, telling the star-studded audience that Victoria has “showed me the value of working hard, dreaming big and setting my standards.”
“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,” Harper continued.
Introducing Victoria to the stage, Harper said, “Tonight I am so proud to present the Entrepreneur of the Year award to a truly inspiring woman who means the world to me: My amazing mummy, Victoria Beckham.”
Victoria, 50, embraced Harper as she took the stage, per footage shared via Instagram by Love Island U.K. host Maya Jama, and praised her daughter for doing such a great job presenting the award.
‘I am so, so proud of you,” Victoria said. “Getting up on stage in front of a room full of people is scary and you did it with such poise and such elegance.”
“I am so proud of the young lady you have become. You keep me grounded and inspire me every day,” Victoria added. “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.”
As well as Harper, Victoria and her former soccer star husband David are parents to sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 19.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar U.K. also published on Tuesday, Victoria shared how turning 50 in April changed her outlook on fame. She said she is no longer bothered by the intense media interest in her family.
“I’ve been doing this too long. I suppose I did [care] when I was growing up but, nowadays, there’s just too much going on; too busy; too many kids to worry about,” she said. “I woke up at 50, and I gave a s–t less.”
