Hey, look — Romeo Beckham brought his mom to his premiere.

The so-cute-you-wanna-pinch-him-but-you-shouldn’t-because-that’s-creepy middle son of Victoria and David steals the show in Burberry’s Christmas advertising campaign and celebrated the debut of the British brand’s Billy Elliot-inspired festive film Tuesday at 121 Regent Street in London. While he’s primed to become a major player in the fashion world (insert your own witty remark about nepotism here), he’s 13, so his date to the big event was… his mum.

The Spice Girl turned fashionista was so happy for her boy she smiled (!) in a photo in which she’s hugging him and her youngest son, Cruz, 10. The boys looked so cute politely holding their hands together — as if they were posing for school photos.

“So proud of Romeo!!” Victoria posted on Instagram. “He looks so handsome in the @Burberry festive film. Thank you [Burberry chief executive officer] #christopherbailey."

No word on where the rest of the Beckhams were for Romeo’s big night, but we’ll guess that David was with Harper, 4, at her horseback riding lessons and Brooklyn, 16, was busy Instagramming photos of his shoes.

It’s hard to stand out in a star-studded ad campaign but Romeo does just that in Burberry’s latest. He opens the mini-movie and closes it, and steals the show with his gap-tooth grin.

The ad also features Elton John, who wrote the music for Billy Elliot; Julie Walters, who starred in the film adaptation; Rosie Huntington-Whiteley; Naomi Campbell; James Corden; and Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery. None of the stars were paid for their involvement in the film, opting instead to donate their paychecks to charity.

Romeo has been working with the brand since 2012, when he was named the face of Burberry Kids. Next up? World domination.
