Romeo, the seven-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, is shaping up as a fashion guru.

He loves going to work with his style-setting mother, who has launched a fashion line and accessories range in her own name.

Victoria said: “We had dinner last night, and Romeo wore a suit with a little shirt and tie. That’s what he would wear every single day, he’s so into fashion. The other boys are all about going to the beach; he’s not interested. He’s like, ‘I want to go to work with mummy,’ and he sits there going through the collection, feeling the fabrics, giving his opinion. He loves it.”

Cutting-edge designer gowns in Victoria’s range have been worn by Elle Macpherson and Drew Barrymore. Her television career, meanwhile, has been on the up with recent roles as a guest judge on American Idol and a co-host spot on The View.

She said: “My kids are my best style advisers because they are so honest. I remember one time I was wearing a Chanel cape and skinny jeans, and I walked down the stairs to see my sons and they said, ‘Oh my God, mummy, you’re Batman!’”
