Victoria Beckham has been presented with a prize at Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year 2024 awards by her daughter Harper, the event said. The fashion designer and former Spice Girl was honoured with an entrepreneur award for her “innovation and dedication to the British and global fashion industry” at Claridge’s hotel in London. Daughter Harper, 13 – the youngest child of former footballer David Beckham and his wife, has previously gone to her fashion events, and the premiere of the couple’s Netflix documentary.

“I hope I can represent all the other older women who are still good at their job, you know, and still got their health, we hope, and they’re sitting at home, ‘When’s my agent going to call?’ So I feel very lucky and if I can inspire anybody to keep going and believe in themselves, that’s a good thing.” Author Dame Jilly Cooper received the writer prize for “her extraordinary half-century contribution to literature” from Poldark actor Aidan Turner, who stars in the adaptation of her book, Rivals, which began airing this year on Disney+. Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan got the television actress prize, while Game Of Thrones actress Sophie Turner took home the performance award.
