The Beckhams definitely know how to nail a family vacation. David and Victoria, along with their daughter Harper, sons Cruz and Romeo (and their girlfriends Jackie Apostel and Kim Turnbull), have been hopping between celebrity hotspots all summer—Ibiza, Saint-Tropez, Positano, and now Portofino.
In between fancy beach club lunches and lounging on their super yacht, Seven, Victoria was spotted putting David to work as her personal photographer. The paparazzi might have their long lenses, but Victoria is the one calling the shots for her Instagram Stories.
Victoria, David, Harper, Cruz, and Jackie had just grabbed a bite at a waterfront spot in the famous Italian Riviera town. Victoria took the chance to pose for David’s digital camera while on land. She wore a silky white slip dress with lace details and a plunging back with criss-cross straps, paired with a wide-brimmed straw bucket hat and tan-and-black Chanel sandals. She finished the look with her signature oversized black sunglasses and a rust-colored Birkin bag.
David kept things sunny and light too, in a butter-yellow tee and matching shorts, tan boat shoes, and a beige cap. Before long, they were back on the yacht—David in the same yellow swim shorts and Victoria in a brown bikini.
From island to island and hotspot to hotspot, the Beckhams have made their own Euro summer style their own. Victoria, for one, often turns to her own label for flowing maxi dresses, adding luxe touches like a structured woven Loro Piana beach bag, a collection of Birkins, brown leather Hermès Oran sandals, and a straw hat.

It’s been a long, hot VIP summer along the Italian Riviera—everyone from LeBron James to Dua Lipa and George and Amal Clooney have been soaking up the good life around the Amalfi Coast. Other favorite spots? Ibiza is still the top pick in the Balearic Islands, where Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti, Dua and Callum Turner, and Dakota Johnson have all been seen. Sardinia has also drawn crowds, with sightings of Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau, and Kylie Jenner.
And as David Beckham proves, behind every great vacation photo is a partner who knows their S.O.’s best angles.
