Victoria Beckham became the target of online jokes after cameras caught her appearing stone-faced during England’s dramatic World Cup quarter-final victory over Norway.
While husband David Beckham and their children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper leaped to their feet when Jude Bellingham’s scored, Victoria remained seated with her trademark serious expression, prompting thousands of social media users to poke fun at her seemingly muted reaction.
“Look you hater, she got a face lift and fillers. She can’t afford to smile and get wrinkles just to please you,” one person wrote. Another joked, “She knows it’s not coming home. She’s been here before” while another added, “It’s just the realisation there’s yet another match to sit through.”
The fashion designer has previously admitted that football wasn’t always a passion of hers. Although she famously supported David Beckham throughout his playing career, Victoria revealed she only truly began enjoying the sport after he retired and co-founded Inter Miami, explaining that she now feels more connected to the football community than she did during his playing days.
Victoria has also addressed her famously unsmiling public persona on several occasions, saying cameras make her instinctively put up “armor.” In her Netflix documentary, she explained that she’s become so self-conscious about being photographed that she rarely smiles in public, insisting she’s often “smiling on the inside” despite appearing expressionless.
The viral posts eventually caught David’s attention, and the former England captain stepped in to defend his wife. Responding to a satirical Instagram post mocking Victoria’s lack of enthusiasm, he joked that she was simply “celebrating inside,” adding that her reactions were “slightly slower” than his. Victoria later shared photos from the match herself, calling it a “special moment” for both her family and England.
