The ongoing feud between Harry and Meghan and the Beckhams has become the talk of the town, with Tom Ford and Lionel Messi making it crystal clear whose side they’re on.
And it’s definitely Team Beckham.
In a recent fashion face-off that’s left no one in doubt, Victoria Beckham took center stage in a plunging black blazer paired with sleek, form-fitting trousers and flowing locks that oozed understated elegance.
What’s more, she was flanked by none other than football legend Lionel Messi and fashion guru Tom Ford, a trio that screamed high fashion, and they made sure the world knew it.
Victoria, never one to shy away from the spotlight, wasted no time in sharing this glamorous moment on her Instagram, her caption dripping with satisfaction, “Amazing night in Miami, kiss kiss.”
But the real kicker was the subtle unveiling of her new eyeliner shade, Cinnamon, part of her satin kajal liner range.
This moment in Florida was all about supporting her husband, David Beckham, the current co-owner of Inter Miami, as they took in the finale of the team’s home game.
And what a game it was, culminating in a miraculous 2-2 draw with Florida Charlotte SC.
For those uninitiated, the Netflix blockbuster documentary, “Beckham,” has been a game-changer for Inter Miami’s social media following.
With over 3.8 million views in just two weeks, it’s had a massive impact, shedding light on David Beckham’s marriage, early romance, family life, and his football journey post the 1998 Men’s Football World Cup.
The numbers don’t lie, with Inter Miami gaining over 50,391 new Instagram followers during this time, thanks to this cinematic spectacle.
Now, let’s talk fashion.
Meghan Markle has had her fair share of fashion liaisons, and Tom Ford has featured prominently among them.
She’s been closely affiliated with a plethora of fashion brands, from Givenchy wedding dresses to Aquasura shoe collections.
Meghan, in several instances, has chosen to grace the world in Tom Ford attire, including everything from shoes and sunglasses to skirts.
But in an astonishing twist, Tom Ford seems to have chosen to give Meghan the cold shoulder, while bestowing lavish praise on Princess Kate.
In a recent interview, Tom Ford couldn’t contain his excitement at the prospect of dressing Kate, the Princess of Wales.
He couldn’t sing her praises enough, lauding her figure and silhouette as the ideal canvas for his designs.
The only catch?
Kate exclusively dons British designers.
Nevertheless, Ford couldn’t resist hinting that if ever given the opportunity, he’d leap at the chance to dress her.
Now, if that isn’t a subtle snub directed Meghan’s way, then what is?
Let’s not forget that Meghan did, in fact, wear a pair of Tom Ford shoes, back in May when she graced the Women of Vision Award ceremony in New York City.
For this feminist-themed occasion, Meghan went all out, donning a $112,000 gold ensemble from women-owned brand Joanna Ortiz.
In a bid to add her signature touch, she decided to remove the dress’s original straps, all in the name of accentuating her California glow.
Staying true to the gold theme, she paired her outfit with a set of stylish gold strappy, n^ked heels from none other than Tom Ford himself.
These $1,350 sandals are aptly described as barely there, with a n^ked design that features a key and padlock embellishment on the thin ankle strap, all anchored by a sculptural metal heel.
Crafted in gleaming metallic leather in Italy, these sandals epitomize luxury and sophistication.
However, what’s perhaps even more intriguing is the unexpected reappearance of Meghan’s gold dress on the Apple TV Plus show, “The Morning Show,” in October 2023.
The dress found a new home, adorning the character Mia Jordan, portrayed by the impeccable Greta Leigh.
What’s truly remarkable is that many royal aficionados couldn’t help but declare that Mia Jordan wore the gold dress with far more grace and confidence than Meghan herself.
Paired with statement jewelry, colorful heels, and loose waves, Mia Jordan became the embodiment of style and poise, drawing stark comparisons to Meghan’s earlier outing.
In this unfolding fashion fracas, Tom Ford has made his preference abundantly clear.
He has no qualms about choosing Victoria and Kate over Meghan, a move that has left Meghan somewhat in the shadows.
