Victoria Beckham’s TIME100 Gala Moment Includes Nikki Glaser ‘Smile’ Jab

The moment underlined a week of career highs set against ongoing scrutiny of her rift with son Brooklyn.

Overview

  • At Thursday’s TIME100 Gala in New York, host Nikki Glaser joked about Victoria Beckham’s serious pose and urged her to smile, with video showing Victoria offering a tight‑lipped grin as David Beckham laughed.
  • Victoria and David arrived hand in hand at Jazz at Lincoln Center, with Victoria wearing an ivory silk gown from her label featuring a back thigh‑high slit and David in a classic tuxedo.
  • Victoria was named to TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2026 and earlier in the week spoke at the TIME100 Summit about tuning out public noise and leaning on David’s support.
  • The gala followed the launch of her Gap x Victoria Beckham collection, which she celebrated in New York with family including David, Cruz, and Harper.
  • In a Today show interview this week, Victoria said she will always protect her children, as coverage continues to note the unresolved estrangement with eldest son Brooklyn, who declared in January that he does not plan to reconcile.
