red carpet events on the arm of her husband David - but he's not the
only looker in the family.
But on Tuesday night, Victoria Beckham had a different date, as she
arrived to the Glamour Women of The Year Awards accompanied by her
eldest son Brooklyn.
And his proud mother couldn't help but gush over her son as she
accepted her award for Woman Of Decade, praising him as the 'most
handsome man in the room'.

The 14-year-old looked dapper in his suit and tie as he made his
entrance with his 39-year-old fashion designer mother to the party,
held at Berkeley Square Garden.
Teenager Brooklyn may have been slightly embarrassed by his mother's
comment, but he certainly impressed many of those present with his
poise and calm demeanour as he acted as his mother's escort for the
night.
Brooklyn posed confidently beside his mother and later watched on as
she collected the Woman of The Decade Award, looking much older than
his 14 years.
Accepting her award, Victoria kicked off with a risqué joke as she
adjusted the microphone saying: 'I need to raise this up, I've never
had to do that before'... at which she collapsed in embarrassed
giggles forcing her to apologise to her son.
Brooklyn had already sat through rude speeches made by Michael
McIntyre, Graham Norton and Miranda Hart - who swore and made
reference to being 'shitfaced', farting and generally turned the air
blue.
She paid tribute to her Spice Girls past by saying: 'I want
congratulate all the women. I love to support women. Girl power!'
She added: 'Thank you to Brooklyn, my date tonight and the most
handsome man in the room, even though he's avoiding his homework.
Thank you to mum and dad, my husband who supports my dreams, and Simon
Fuller.
'What an an amazing 10 years. I feel blessed to have had two careers
and in ten years I will be nearly fifty!'
Victoria stuck to her signature black for the occasion, opting for a
loosing fitting trouser and top combination.
The mother-of-four teamed her wide-legged pants with a strapless
scallop neckline top, highlighting her toned arms and back.
While the outfit could easily be one of Victoria's own designs, it was
in fact by Belgian designer Maison Martin Margiela.
But she stuck to her brand when it came to her clutch for the evening,
and carried a hard gold number from her own range.
The only colour Victoria sported was a matching blood red manicure and
pedicure for the occasion.
For make-up she stuck to her signature copper coloured smoky eyes, and
wore her long hair loose, and swept over her left shoulder.
The footballer, who has sons Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 10, and Cruz, eight,
as well as 22-month-old daughter Harper, with Victoria, added:
'Victoria's still just as beautiful today, I'm not sure that's the
case with me!'
And Victoria was equally full of praise for her spouse, insisting that
his retirement from professional football by no means signals the end
of his career.
Speaking on the red carpet, Victoria said: 'I'm so proud of David and
everything he's achieved. I've really enjoyed supporting him for all
these years, cheering him on from the stands. But it will be great for
him to be home with us, we're very excited.
And his future looks so bright. He's so smart, he's got lots of very
clever ideas up his sleeve and we're looking forward to our future
together for sure, and new things - there's so much you can do.'
Victoria also spoke about her recent move back to the UK, admitting
that while she is 'proud to be British', she will always consider LA a
second home.
She said: 'I love California, I was there last week. And it's really
good to have the best of both worlds - travel around. I have friends
there, I have friends here.
'It would be hard for me to say where is home because I travel between
the two. I'm very blessed, I'm very lucky.
'I love London, I love being here and I'm proud to be British. And
it's great, when the sun shins there's nowhere like London.'
