Normal might be the last word you'd use to describe the Beckham family. A List, yes. Celebrity royalty, sure. But normal? Well this weekend according to The Sun Victoria took Brooklyn to Claire's Accessories in Westfield London to have his ear pierced. Yep CLAIRE'S - where school girls have had their lobes pierced on stools in the window for decades.
They could have pierced it at home or gone to somewhere a little more swish like Selfridges, but they spent £45 for the stud and piercing at the Westfield branch. The store manager told The Sun: “They picked the most expensive earring - but Victoria told him to go a size down so it wasn't too blingy. Brooklyn was cool but I was so nervous, I was like, 'I can't mess this up’.”
The sales assistant said to The Sun: “Victoria was just checking out the hair extensions at the back of the shop. A few customers noticed who it was, but things stayed pretty calm." If VB is spotted with clip ins and glittery bows, you'll find out here first.
See the other times the Beckhams were 'just like us' below...
1. The fish and chips run
Victoria Beckham has often said 'we're much more normal than people think,' and she proved it when on one Monday school run she took Cruz for a takeaway fish and chips.
2. When VB got the train to Manchester
Forget a helipad, Victoria Beckham started her trip up to Manchester last week at London Euston. Victoria Beckham and her Birkin hopped aboard the Virgin Trains service to Manchester Piccadily. She went First Class - because she's posh like that - so got a complimentary cuppa. No word if she got an Upper Crust for the journey.
3. The time VB wore a hard hat
When working on the launch of her Dover Street store VB had a go at construction, putting on a hi-vis and hard hat. Remember the days when Victoria said she wouldn't even be caught in a pair of ballet flats?
4. When VB got her bicycle nicked
During New York Fashion Week Victoria Beckham posted a picture of a bike wheel on Instagram with the caption 'So I won't be riding home tonight then!' We still can't believe that 'Ms Icon Dresses' rides a push bike anywere. It wasn't even VB cobalt blue.
5. When they made Brooklyn get a Saturday job
It was reported that 15-year-old Brooklyn got a Saturday job in a London coffee shop to learn the value of money. Victoria will have been able to teach him a thing or two about the art of cappuccinos (see below).
6. When VB did the Starbucks run
If she wanted to, Victoria Beckham could employ someone with the sole responsibility to fetch her coffee. But on a business trip not only did she do the Starbucks run, she put on a green apron and made her own coffee.
