Romeo Beckham channels father David's noughties style as he rocks a blond buzzcut in new snap
The 22-year-old model son of the football ace, 50, and Spice Girl Victoria, 51, cut a cool figure as he showed off his newly-shaved locks while posing in a lift.
Romeo donned a black Supreme tracksuit for his latest snap, accessorising with tan shoes and sunglasses worn atop his head.
His blond hairstyle echoes that of his father, who famously rocked a buzzcut in his footballing heyday back in the 2000s.
David first sported a buzzcut in 2000, before bringing it back in 2004 and again in 2008.
This is not the first time that Romeo has had the look either and he previously had a blond buzzcut last year.
Romeo's latest snap comes after he joined David to celebrate his beloved mum Sandra's 76th birthday in style on Saturday.
The famous footballer, 50, who was still sporting his arm in a sling, beamed in sun-soaked snaps as they marked the occasion with a huge colourful cake.
Wife Victoria, 51, took to her Instagram Stories with the photos of both David and son Romeo, 22, posing with the birthday girl in what appeared to be the grounds of the family's £12M Cotswolds home.
Hours earlier David displayed his bandaged hand on Instagram as he recovered at home following surgery after Victoria shocked fans when she uploaded an Instagram snap of him in hospital after being left in 'unbearable' pain.
A source told MailOnline that David underwent an operation to repair his wrist after breaking it during an England game 22 years ago.
The sweet family snaps come after Romeo's brother Brooklyn spent the weekend celebrating his father-in-law Nelson, posing in happy family snaps from the billionaire's 83rd birthday.
His wife Nicola Peltz has shared another gushing post about her 'most loving father' after throwing Nelson a lavish birthday party over the weekend.
The celebratory photos are the latest blow for David and Victoria, after Brooklyn snubbed his own dad's 50th birthday.
Brooklyn looked right at home with his in-laws, happily posing with Nelson and Nicola's brothers at the party held at the Peltz family's huge home in Bedford, New York.
'Happy birthday dad! i am so lucky to be your daughter, you're the most loving and supportive father i could ever dream of,' Nicola gushed alongside the party snaps.
'I love you more than i could ever begin to express - you're the wind beneath my wings,' the loving tribute continued.
'i loved celebrating you yesterday! thank you for always being there for us - our constant love and support.'
As Brooklyn celebrated his father-in-law over the weekend, his parents were enjoying their own bittersweet family time back in the UK.
Taking to social media Victoria posted a sun-soaked snap as she cosied up to her beloved parents Anthony and Jackie Adams.

In the emotional caption she wrote: 'Family weekends make me so happy'.
David and Victoria have reportedly become resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from their beloved son after he failed to attend any of the football ace's 50th birthday celebrations last month.
He also didn't wish either his mum Victoria or dad David a happy birthday on social media - an unusual move for the Beckhams, who are known for their loving posts.
This is in stark contrast to a post Brooklyn shared last week for his father-in-law and wrote on a picture of himself and Nicola with the billionaire: 'Happy birthday Nelson x We love you,'

‘They stole it from us': How Spain can reclaim their moment after Luis Rubiales scandal
When the England team left the pitch after their last match against Spain, a 2-1 comeback defeat in June's Nations League fixture, there was one overriding feeling in the dressing room. 'They're just so hard to play against', was one exhausted view. Spain's ideology means they're seen as an almost singular challenge in the women's game. The England players enjoy the test, admire the players as icons, and know the world champions are the team to beat. Spanish manager Montse Tome has still rejected the description of favourites, in that way that coaches do to try and get elite teams playing as if they are starting from scratch again. Many of Spain's world champions would actually like to start from scratch in a different sense. This singular team want their own singular victory, independent of past troubles. If it seems unfair on this historic squad for their 2023 World Cup win to always be clouded by the Luis Rubiales case, such talk is only in-keeping with the sentiments of the players themselves. Many of them speak about it in a brilliant new Netflix documentary about the story, called "Se Acabo" - 'It's over: the kiss that changed Spanish football'. Ballon d'Or holder Aitana Bonmati goes as far as saying, 'Our World Cup win was overshadowed and, well, tarnished'. Ivana Andres adds, 'They stole it from us', before a striking revelation from Jenni Hermoso, the legend subjected to the Rubiales kiss. She admits there were flickers where she would think, 'Holy sh--, I'm a world champion', only to check herself. 'That feeling only lasts a second as I can't relive that moment,' Hermoso says. She won't get to relive any victory in Switzerland, as she has been controversially omitted from the squad, so won't get to see the many changes either. Even in the weeks before that Rubiales scandal, some of the players found circumstances so bad at the World Cup that they still can't quite understand how they won it. Bonmati admits they were asking themselves, 'How is that possible?' The contrast to the men is made explicit, as the documentary reveals remarkable messages from former captain Sergio Ramos asking Rubiales for Hublot watches. The women simply wanted flight times that could allow a decent night's sleep before big games. It is why there is now talk of a 'special spirit' around Euro 2025, all the more so because of the contrasts with the last Euros. That 2022 tournament in England is seen as another nadir, given how the squad's complaints ultimately led to the landmark moment of ' las 15 '. They were the 15 players who withdrew from selection two months later, after raising concerns over how standards in Jorge Vilda's squad could be significantly improved to allow them to fulfil their potential. The downbeat mood, and failure to get beyond the quarter-finals, felt all the more inevitable due to the injury to Alexia Putellas on the eve of the tournament. There was a worrying echo of this on the eve of Euro 2025, when Aitana was last week sent to hospital with viral meningitis. Some around the squad couldn't help feel deja vu. And yet it is maybe another sign of how fortunes have changed that Aitana was out of hospital and back with the squad by Tuesday. 'Everything's going well,' Bonmati said. The words around Spain's Lausanne camp now are 'tranquility' and 'stability'. Conditions have also changed, to go with the fact the team now play with the assurance that comes from true achievement. They've been there and done it, and that through hugely difficult circumstances. Now, the squad just don't have the same distractions. Many players finally feel standards have started to be elevated to club levels, as well as those of the men. 'Everything has changed radically in terms of conditions, trips, nutrition and training,' Putellas told Marca. 'Everything we need to be the best. It's at the level of a top men's team. It's something incredible, that took a lot of work from many people.' Arsenal's Mariona Caldentey speaks of how, 'It's a more professional atmosphere, with better preparation, where they listen to us and ask what we need'. Amanda Gutierrez, the president of the Futpro union that worked with the players through the Rubiales case, still points out that changes have been 'gradual'. Duly, you probably can't go through ructions like that without some remnants of the past persisting. The omission of Hermoso has raised some old issues, as well as new questions for the coach, Tome. She had been Vilda's assistant at the 2023 World Cup, only to quickly become his successor in the overhaul after the Rubiales case. That decision was hardly praised, even though players had previously seen her as a confidante. Some felt she 'changed', with her appointment viewed as a continuation of the old regime. When Rubiales gave his infamous speech refusing to resign, Tome is seen beside Vilda applauding. In ' Se Acabo ', one of the 15, Lola Gallardo, describes that moment as Vilda and Tome 'selling out their players again'. It doesn't help that, like Vilda, Tome isn't considered a coach of sufficient quality. She won the inaugural Women's Nations League months after the 2023 World Cup, but the fourth place at the 2024 Olympics was considered a failure. Hermoso even seemed to criticise Tome's abilities in a social media post, stating: 'Manage? That's what others should learn to do, that part is too big for them.' Hermoso added that she 'also has a very clear conscience', referencing Tome's own words about the decision. The manager had insisted it was purely for football reasons, although suspicion reigns. For Tome's part, other players from 'the 15' have been picked, and Hermoso is now 35 years old. There are fair arguments about whether she is still at the same level, especially against a pool overflowing with talent. Tome looked at 70 players, all amplified by that ingrained ideology. The manager told AS she did what was best 'for the squad, not what is best for Montse'. Hermoso still finished her post with a flourish, saying to let Tome 'focus now on making Spain European champions, although they would also do it on their own and surely much better'. As sharp as that sounds, many would agree. It's what happened in 2023. Spain possess such quality that they only need the most basic guidance. The sense of flow is illustrated by how, less than two years after the World Cup, only 11 of the 23-players quad remain. Members of 'the 15' in Patri Guijarro and Claudia Pina have meanwhile returned, ready to attack Euro 2025 with a new relish. Their sense of new opportunity amplifies that of the squad. In ' Se Acabo ', the players openly talk about how the changes caused by the 2023 World Cup were a greater victory than the trophy. They have now given themselves the platform for a purely sporting victory. Mariona says the camp is now about 'football, only football', as Putellas offered a touching message on the eve of the tournament: 'Now it's time to enjoy, compete and give happiness.' Maybe not to the opposition.

BBC chief faces questions over failure to pull live stream of Bob Vylan IDF chant
The BBC's director general is facing questions over why he did not pull the live-stream footage of Bob Vylan after being informed during a visit to Glastonbury of the chants calling for the death of Israeli soldiers. Tim Davie, who has led the BBC for nearly five years, was told of the chanting of 'death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]' by Bob Vylan's vocalist after it had been broadcast live on the BBC on Saturday afternoon. He was at the festival in Somerset on a visit to meet presenters and production staff when he was told that the chanting had been aired. 'At that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage,' a BBC spokesperson said. The decision was taken that the footage of Bob Vylan would not be made available on the broadcaster's on-demand service. But the live stream of the West Holts stage where Bob Vylan performed continued to be aired for a number of hours after the incident, allowing anyone watching the broadcast live to rewind it. The band put out a statement on Tuesday saying they were 'not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group'. In an Instagram post they said: 'Today a good many people would have you believe a punk band is the number one threat to world peace. Last week it was a Palestine pressure group, the week before that it was another band. 'We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use unnecessary lethal force against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza. 'We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story and whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction.' The Irish rap trio Kneecap, including the member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who appeared in court earlier this month charged with a terror offence, took to the stage directly after Bob Vylan and led chants of 'Free Palestine'. Their performance was not livestreamed. The BBC did not offer any explanation for the decision made after consultation with Davie. The broadcaster has already issued an apology on behalf of its staff running the live operations for failing to pull away from the performance of Bob Vylan during the chanting, describing the scenes as 'utterly unacceptable'. A BBC spokesperson said: 'The director general was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage.' Sir Ephraim Mirvis, the chief rabbi, said the incident was a 'national shame'. He wrote on X: 'The airing of vile Jew-hatred at Glastonbury and the BBC's belated and mishandled response, brings confidence in our national broadcaster's ability to treat antisemitism seriously to a new low. 'It should trouble all decent people that now, one need only couch their outright incitement to violence and hatred as edgy political commentary, for ordinary people to not only fail to see it for what it is, but also to cheer it, chant it and celebrate it. Toxic Jew-hatred is a threat to our entire society.' Avon and Somerset police said on Monday they had launched an investigation into both performances after reviewing video footage and audio recordings. A senior detective has been appointed to lead the investigation. A police spokesperson said: 'This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our inquiries are at an early stage. 'The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes.' Jonathan Reynolds, the business secretary, said he had been shocked by the behaviour of some at the festival. He told BBC Radio 4's Today: 'There are some lessons, I think, for broadcasters from this, but let's also not shy away from the issue, which is people in a crowd glorifying violence. 'I don't think it's something we'd associate with any music festival, but it's a wider societal problem. 'It's possible, I think, to be completely concerned by the scenes in Gaza and not stray into the kind of behaviour and endorsement that we saw with that performance. 'And I'm deeply shocked to be honest, that people would even not realise what I think they're participating in when they do that.' Writing on Instagram, Pascal Robinson-Foster, who performs under the name Bob Vylan, wrote: 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place … 'Let us display to them loudly and visibly the right thing to when we want and need change. Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning on ground level, organising online and shouting about it on any and every stage that we are offered.' The band is due to perform on 5 and 6 July at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester. The Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester & Region has urged the venue to call off the show. A Greater Manchester police spokesperson said: 'We are aware that Bob Vylan will be performing in Manchester at the weekend. 'Greater Manchester is famous for promoting music of all genres and we welcome all artists to our region. However, we will act immediately on any reports of commentary or actions that could be breaking the law.'

Love Island fans insist they know the 'real reason' Dejon is flirting with new stunning bombshell Bilikis despite being with Meg from day one
Love Island fans claimed they have worked out the 'real reason' Dejon flirted with new bombshell Bilikis during Tuesday night's episode. The stunning new bombshell turned heads as she entered the villa and took Dejon on a date. During their date, Dejon - who has been coupled up with Meg since the start of the show - flirted up a storm with the new arrival. He was even heard asking Bilikis, who also goes by Billykiss, if she would leave Dublin and 'move to London' if they were to be together. However, viewers didn't believe he was being genuine and claimed he has a 'game plan' as they believed Dejon flirted with Bilikis to 'wind up' Meg. Taking to X, they wrote: 'I fear Dejon is just gonna lead Billykiss to wind up Meg atp #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK'; 'Dejon is unserious, flirting with the whole villa just to drop his wedding vows to Meg'; 'Dejon loves to wind Meg up'; 'Dejon loves leading on bombshells then dropping the 'my meg' line'; 'Why are people still picking dejon?? He's clearly playing the long game #LoveIsland'; 'Dejon has definitely watched Love Island before. He's playing the long game tryna make him & Meg the winners but we don't actually like you!'; 'Billy kiss is actually stunning, but we know Dejon he's going to go back to his Meg. His game plan is always to explore and when it's time for decision, he switches up so I'm not buying whatever that date was selling'; 'I think Dejon is playing a Game'. Viewers were also left outraged as Helena and Harry flirted the second Shakira left the villa for a date. Taking to X, they wrote: 'I fear Dejon is just gonna lead Billykiss to wind up Meg; Dejon loves to wind Meg up; I think Dejon is playing a Game' Shakira headed out of the villa for a date with new boy Ryan leaving Harry and Helena to flirt without prying eyes. Just hours later, Helena then kissed her other love interest Harrison as she dismissed her and Harry's connection as just 'sexual chemistry'. It came just a day after Helena made the very X-rated comment of 'I want to f**k you' to Harry during the Heart Rate Challenge. As they spoke, Harry complimented her on her sexy outfit in the challenge as they spoke about their physical attraction. Shakira had been left fuming at Harry after finding out about Helena's outrageous comment to him earlier in the episode. After speaking to Harry just hours later, Harrison pulled Helena to the terrace for a kiss. Fans were shocked by the scenes as they penned on X: 'Helena kissing Harrison after just saying all that to Harry?? #loveisland #loveislanduk.', 'when you actually think about it, helena moves the way we expect yasmin to when she first came in the villa #LoveIslandUK #LoveIsland.', 'helena is the LEAST girls girl i think we've actually ever seen. the degradation of the women she is around is so actually spiteful.', 'Harry and Helena are just two horny people!' The heart rate challenge sent shockwaves through the villa on Monday night's dramatic episode. It was Helena who was at the centre of the most shocking scene after whispering something wild in ex flame Harry's ear during her dance. As she danced around him in her skimpy underwear she whispered in his ear 'I want to f**k you' in a shocking moment. It came just a few hours after she said to Harrison that he was the only one she was interested in in the villa - causing her to clash with his current partner Toni.
