The celebrated fashion designer took the opportunity to spend some quality time with her loved ones, including her husband David Beckham, and their children — Romeo James, 21, Cruz Beckham, 19, and 13-year-old Harper Seven.

In the photos shared on August 28, Victoria, 50, can be seen sporting a casual look with denim shorts, a gray hoodie, and a black cap. In one of the initial slides, she poses with her son Romeo, who is wrapped in a towel, his arm draped over her shoulders.

Victoria’s caption, which read, “Special family moments in Muskoka 🇨🇦 x Kisses #SalterFamily I love you all so much!! xx @davidbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven,” gave a heartfelt touch to the series, highlighting the importance of these cherished moments with her family.

However, the post ignited a mixed response from fans and followers, with some applauding her family spirit and others focusing on her appearance.

One user expressed admiration for David, stating, “David is aging so fine and natural, even charming, unlike his wife🙄.” Another user criticized Victoria, writing, “Trying TOO hard to look younger with Face Tune apps. Unrealistic and disturbing.”

Some commenters even went further, with one remarking, “[It] looks like her kids [are] older than her. Her face is like a doll face; it’s a shame [there’s] no emotion and her [natural expression] is not there.”

Yet, not all responses were negative. One supportive follower wrote, “The negative comments about @victoriabeckham are very sad, people must be really really miserable in their lives to tear down such a beautiful woman! If you have nothing positive or uplifting to say keep your mouths shut! She looks incredible and happy so let her live her life!”

Another fan playfully commented, “[It] looks like you’re the youngest among them,” highlighting Victoria’s youthful appearance in the photos.

While Victoria’s recent photos sparked varied reactions from fans, the fashion icon has always been candid about her approach to aging and beauty.

In an exclusive interview in May 2023, Victoria, who turned 50 in April, shared her reflections on aging. “I am comfortable with who I am, I accept how I look, I make the best of what I have. I feel, professionally and personally, really accomplished at 49,” she stated confidently.

The mom of four emphasized that embracing her age has brought her a sense of fulfillment that she never experienced in her younger years. She added:

“I like how it feels being older. I wouldn’t want to be 25 again. I was the kind of young woman who would look in the mirror and see what needed to be improved upon, as opposed to what actually looked OK.”

The “Every Part of Me” singer mentioned that her focus is not on defying time but on celebrating it. She admitted, “I’ve always been quite tough on myself, but because of that I’ve also always strived to be the best version of myself.”

Victoria further disclosed that she does not use Botox, or lip fillers, or undergo any invasive cosmetic surgeries, describing such options as “scary.” Instead, she opts for minimal treatments such as laser and skin tightening, clarifying that “it’s about little things” and not about turning back time

“I’m not trying to turn back the clock. I’m 49 and don’t have a hang-up about it,” Victoria explained. She expressed pride in how she has maintained her fitness over the years, revealing, “I have more muscle tone at 49 than I did at 25.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the mother of four has faced public scrutiny over her appearance. On April 1, the “Wannabe” singer shared a seemingly joyful moment with her daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, but fans quickly picked up on something beneath the surface of the happy video.

Adorned with playful bunny ears, Nicola and Victoria danced to the nostalgic tunes of “Say You’ll Be There” by the Spice Girls, Victoria’s former band.

The video, shared on Instagram and seemingly taken on a yacht, radiated happiness, showcasing the light-hearted and fun side of the Beckham family dynamics.

However, beneath the surface of this joyful display, observant fans noticed a detail about Victoria that sparked a wave of concern and curiosity in the comments on the post.

While the video was primarily a depiction of family fun and unity, with Nicola leading the dance in front of her mother-in-law, Victoria’s subtle yet recurring action caught the attention of her followers.

As the music played and smiles were shared, Victoria began to cover her mouth every time she smiled. This gesture, seemingly insignificant at first glance, became a focal point of discussion among fans. The question arose as to why Victoria never showed her smile.

“All the money in the world, and still not confident enough,” remarked one fan, capturing a sentiment echoed by many. Some fans observed that the gesture points to a deeper, more complex issue than mere personal habit.

Another fan highlighted Victoria’s extensive dental work, yet noted her persistent reluctance to show her teeth. Toothy smiles or not, Victoria Beckham’s playful spirit and deep love for her family consistently shine through her social media posts. Her recent vacation moments are just another testament to the joy she finds in family time, regardless of public sentiment.
