Harper Beckham, a chorus of disapproval.

^A chorus of disapproval^

Oh dear, not quite the reaction the OP expected.

On the contrary Callistemon, as usual, I have made my post somewhat ambiguous, sorry about that. The disapproval came from those on Instagram, or at least those that MaizieD correctly remarked on: Celeb followers. The general consensus here is that of my own, I'm pleased to say.

I've had a couple of texts from friends in our social group who say something to the effect of: "If those on Instagram were to see the children at dance competitions they would probably be frothing at the mouth."

Not having children and therefore, grandchildren, I was interested to see the opinions of Gransnetters. Thank you for responding.

I think she looks lovely but hey let’s not risk anybody thinking anyone on GransNet might not be a fuddy duddy.

Let go of those pearls Spangler and leave it up to her parents.

Lovely photo.

I think she looks nice as well.

She looks lovely......if she was 19, not 9.

How do you think a nine year old girl should look on a special night out with her parents, Shelmiss?

Oh come on shelmis are you a long dress, pinny and shawl grandma
There is nothing like a 19 year old in that picture
I can’t even detect any makeup pretty little earrings and necklace she looks 9/10 and very pretty she looks too

19? I don't think my DD dressed like that when they were 19!

Spangler your heading was misleading, then

Yes, lots of girls and boys do dancing, gymnastics etc and are in displays and competitions.
A little makeup is normal.

* FlyingHandbag* I was shopping for something to wear for a special anniversary lunch and a dear older friend who happened to be in the shop fetched me a dress like that from the rialto try on.
I didn't buy it !

I didn't buy a dress like the red one either

rialto?

I should be so lucky.
From the rail.

I painted our shed door today - enjoying watching it dry

The nicest photograph I've seen of her.

I think she looks lovely and so what if she's wearing a bit of lip gloss and mascara she's hardly done up for a night on the town.

‘Cleb’ ??

I think she looks beautiful and if she has a little bit of make up on so what.

Some of you have forgotten JonBenet Ramsey I think. Admittedly she was only 6 and Harper Beckham is 9 and her makeup and hair style is restrained compared to that of JonBenet.

I mentioned Katie Price's daughter, Princess, earlier, and she always reminds me of JonBenet Ramsey with her false eyelashes and makeup. Princess has looked like a made-up doll for several years. I don't think Harper looks like that.

What does JonBenet Ramsey have to do with the price of bread?

She looks lovely and is dressed perfectly appropriately. From what we can tell, it appears to me that the Beckhams do a great job bringing up all their children.

She does look very pretty and I like her hairstyle. She’s too young for earrings, though.

What is the correct age for a child to wear earrings?

About fourteen? Or at least post-puberty. I see earrings as an adult thing, except when dressing up at home. I’m not happy with children having their ears pierced when they are little, either.

Quite so. How many babies do you see wearing earing sleepers? I could show you, but it would be folly of me to uplift such a photo.

Oh dear.
That American Child Beauty Pageant is quite disturbing.

Nothing like that photo of Harper Beckham who looks like a normal 9 year old to me.
