Brooklyn Beckham Lands His Second ‘Vogue’ Cover
At only 17, Brooklyn Beckham is already following in his famous parents’ footsteps.
The son of David and Victoria Beckham, who is dating actress Chloë Grace Moretz, is on the cover of China’s Vogue Me alongside models Jing Wen and Heather Kemesky.
Taking to Instagram, Beckham shared an image of the cover, captioning it, “My vogue me cover with Jing and heather. #VogueMe #VogueChina. Thank you @VogueChina @Angelica_Cheung.”
According to the magazine, Brooklyn’s 13-year-old brother Romeo will also appear in the pages of the issue. The publication, which just launched this year and is the country’s version of Teen Vogue, is targeted at the “post-Nineties generation” and the latest issue will hit stands of June 1.
The teen, a burgeoning photographer, will also be taking over Vogue China’s Instagram in connection with the cover to post his own images. Yet in February, Beckham came under fire when it was announced that he’d be shooting the new campaign for Burberry’s This Is Brit fragrance.
Twitter users expressed their distaste of Burberry’s hire — calling it “nepotism” and an insult to actual professional photographers who typically scrape by for years before scoring something as major as this.
Celebrity portrait photographer Chris Floyd and magazine photographer Jon Gorrigan also discussed their frustrations with The Guardian, respectively calling Beckham’s work a “devaluation of photography” and “infuriating.” Gorrigan also spoke of Beckham’s lack of technical training: “He’s obviously not going to be doing the lighting, he’ll have no clue of the programs, the cameras or Photoshop. It’s going to be so well managed — he’ll have the best hair and makeup, the best models, the very best equipment, so that the chance of any risk is greatly reduced.” He added, “People who are under-trained can get a good result with an Instagram filter. I suppose it keeps me on my toes. The industry is like that, a bit of injustice in a lot of areas.“
It seems safe to say that Goldenballs’ kids have inherited his Midas touch — even if it stirs up a bit of controversy in the process.
