'It Looks Terrible': David Beckham Reveals DIY Haircut Incident
If there's one thing that comes in a close second to David Beckham's legendary football career, it's the many memorable haircuts he's rocked over the years. From frosted tips, wavy locks to a mohawk or two, you can't say the former England caption isn't versatile. Now the Manchester United legend has inadvertently returned to another style from his youth after a DIY haircut gone wrong left him with a buzzcut. In a humorous video shared to Instagram on Sunday, the footballing icon revealed that he'd accidentally given himself a huge bald spot after his clippers malfunctioned. 'What have you done?' his wife Victoria Beckham can be heard asking from behind the camera. 'The thing of the clippers fell off my head,' David admitted. 'It's not funny,' he added as the former Spice Girls star giggled at his misfortune. 'I mean, the hours of content that the kids have got from this,' she added. 'It does not look good. I'm gonna always be honest with you. It looks terrible.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by David Beckham (@davidbeckham) 'What have u done?!?' she added in an Instagram comment with a series of crying emojis. 'Your little face!!! U were devastated.' In an update shared to his story, David revealed that he'd managed to rectify the blunder by going with a short buzzcut reminiscent of his iconic style in the early 2000s. 'Update. It's the best I could do with the situation,' he captioned his selfie, tagging his wife to ask if the finish was 'still awful'. It's hardly the first time the couple have jokingly teased one another online. Earlier this year David poked fun at his wife's disinterested reaction to a huge win for his team Inter Miami. That came after the pair went viral numerous times over for the now-iconic line in Netflix's Beckham documentary when David urged his other half to 'be honest' about her supposed working class roots.

'It Looks Terrible': Victoria Beckham Roasts Husband David After Haircut Mishap
Former Manchester United and England star David Beckham ran into a slight problem while attempting a fresh haircut. Over the weekend, David's wife, Victoria Beckham, posted a video of the iconic midfielder, sitting shirtless and visibly sheepish, having accidentally shaved a portion of his head. While David covered his head, Victoria prodded him from behind the camera, asking, "what have you done?" As the Inter Miami owner attempted to explain how he got himself in the situation, the former Spice Girls star started laughing. "You were trying to give yourself a haircut. What have you done?" she said as David removed his hand from his head, revealing the bald patch. After David pointed out that her laughing was not funny, Victoria said: "I mean, the hours of content that the kids have got from this." "It does not look good. I'm going to always be honest with you. It looks terrible." David later posted on his Instagram account as well and called out Victoria for being honest, albeit a bit too much. "IT'S NOT FUNNY! So this happened yesterday whilst shaving my head and as you can hear my wife didn't find it funny at all," wrote David. "@victoriabeckham you don't always need to BE THAT HONEST - I quote " It looks awful" And yes kids have content," he added. As the video went viral, reactions poured in from social media users with the majority saying if anyone could pull off the half-shaved look, it was David Beckham. "Tbh he could do anything and still look good," said one user, while another added: "Great men make great mistakes."

He represented footballing giants such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and LA Galaxy, leaving his mark with world-class performances and a legacy of excellence. Last month, Beckham officially received a Knighthood from King Charles III, who honoured his outstanding contributions to sport and charity.

Harper Beckham shares make-up tutorial
Victoria Beckham's 14-year-old daughter Harper Beckham has shared a make-up tutorial online. The teenager was filmed showing followers how to apply a liquid blusher from the Spice Girls star's Victoria Beckham Beauty line and it was shared on her mom's company's Instagram page. The video was captioned: "Before it was in your makeup bag, it was in hers. #HarperSeven our #VBBMuse wears Colour Wash in 'Flushed' - a lab sample, of course." Harper was seen taking a dropper of bright red blusher and expertly smoothing it over her cheeks, nose and eyelids before showing off her finished look. Victoria previously revealed Harper is an expert at doing her own make-up now and they often head to high street beauty store Space NK together for an after school treat. The former pop star told The Times newspaper: "She's been able to do a full face and contour for quite some time. She's good at doing it very naturally. ... "Going to Space NK is her favourite treat after school. If she does well in a test I'll take her to the one down the road - it's her favourite thing. She's obsessed." Victoria previously explained how the beauty mistakes of her own youth helped inform her choices as she created her own products for her Victoria Beckham Beauty brand. She told Elle magazine: "I've seen so many pictures of myself in the past, and I've been able to learn from seeing those images in my development process. "A prime example is when I created the Lid Lustre Eyeshadow. Being on stage and wearing a sparkly eye taught me so much and it's why I was so specific about the size of the pigments and the fallout of the products. "I've seen so many pictures where I look like I've been punched in the face on stage because the pigments have been too large. "When I'm developing my products, I take into consideration my own experiences ... I am difficult to please and I never put anything out there until I truly believe it is the best in class. " Victoria's most recent launch was a line of make-up brushes, and she had a very hands-on role in the design process. She told British Vogue: "I spent a lot of time thinking about these brushes and what it was that I desired and couldn't find." Victoria explained that the brushes have all "earned their place" in her new collection, saying: "My focus is always on the 'why' and the brushes that have made it into this collection have earned their place and right to be there. They're inspired by calligraphy pens."

49 Forgotten '90s Things Millennials Will Recognize
Troll dolls, which you had a collection of, and would dress up in different clothes. They were like the original Labubus. The Pepsi commercial with the Spice Girls that featured them singing the ultra-catchy "Move Over" jingle. Nestle Quik that came in syrup bottles and was the superior way to make chocolate or strawberry milk (no offense to the powdered form). Welch's jelly glasses your family had forever, with the paint slowly fading from years of use. These Barney slippers that your younger sibling or cousin owned and that smelled so gross. Old issues of Highlights magazine you'd read in the dentist's or pediatrician's waiting room. The Halloween episode of Family Matters that featured the super creepy AF ventriloquist's dummy, Stevil. Which tried to kill Urkel!!! (It was nightmare-inducing!) The creepy AF Puttermans from the Duracell commercials. And the commercials with the talking Chevron Cars who were OVER IT and loved to spill the tea about their owners. Old-school arcade change machines with the huge metal fronts and a big red button. The THX logo that would play before some movies. (And that you can still hear in your head!). Toys "R" Us, with its all-blue checkout counters that signaled you were about to leave with something awesome. And Kay Bee Toys, which stored all its video games right behind the registers. Beanie Baby price guides, which made you feel like a serious investor as you checked the value of your prized collection. Sunny Delight, which you chugged after school because it was marketed as "healthy." SnackWell's treats your parents or grandparents bought — and that you sneakily ate when no one was looking. E!'s Coming Attractions, which was literally a half-hour show of just movie trailers. And Emeril Live and his "Bam!" catchphrase. The blue cornflower Corning Ware casserole dishes that your mom would make something in at least once a week. The WB network, which basically aired all the shows you watched. And Fox Kids, which had the best Saturday morning cartoon lineup. The ads inside TV Guide that would tell you what that week's episode of a TV show was going to be about. The Crocodile Mile slip-and-slide toy that had the infectious "You run, you slide, you hit the bump, and take a dive" jingle in the commercial. Butterfinger's commercials that featured the Simpsons. The yellow Judy Clocks that were in your classroom from kindergarten until third grade. The TV on the rolling cart that instantly got you excited and in a good mood when you'd see it rolled into your classroom. The creepy hide-and-seek/time-out dolls that usually your "arts and crafty" neighbor or country decor-loving aunt made, and that they would place in the corner of rooms or near staircases. Wacky straws that were made out of hard plastic that would give anything you were drinking a subtle plasticky taste. Bubble Beeper gum cases that you would attach to your waistband or pocket like a real pager. The Flintstones' lucky egg machine that they would have at the exit of the supermarket or at mom-and-pop pizza parlors. TVs with built-in VCRs that had like 13-inch wide screens and were the coolest thing you could have in your bedroom. Happy Meal boxes that came with puzzles, mazes, and other fun things you could do with them. Bookmarks, which you would have a collection of because you'd get them for things like birthdays or at the Scholastic Books Fair. These sand-filled, glittery, rainbow lizard toys that everyone seemed to own: Crest Kid's Sparkle Fun toothpaste that tasted a bit too delicious and was almost tempting to eat. The Chuck E. Cheese's "Where a kid can be a kid" commercials that they played a lot during Saturday morning cartoons. Having to put the TV on channel three anytime you wanted to watch a VHS movie or play Nintendo. The green volume bar that would display across the bottom quarter of your TV whenever you raised or lowered the volume. The Disney Store and its iconic blend of old Hollywood deco and '80s/early '90s design, which was almost impossible to resist stepping into. The Warner Bros. Studio Store plastic shopping bags that looked like this and that you refused to throw away because they were so, so cool looking. Lunchables, which was a major flex if you brought one to school for lunch. The red stick that came with Handi-Snacks that would slice your tongue if you weren't careful while licking it. Little Pet Shop toys that were tiny, adorable, and somehow always ended up scattered all over your bedroom floor. Sky Dancers — the toy you loved and feared — because the moment you launched one, you knew to run for cover before it smacked you in the face. Disney knock-off VHS movies you would get as a gift from a clueless relative (usually from your grandma), thinking they got you the real thing. Random VHS movies your family had in their collection that came from a fast-food restaurant. Disney's Disneyland Fun Sing Along Songs VHS tape, which made you believe Mickey Mouse and the gang were the ones who cleaned and prepped the park every morning before opening. Blockbuster Video's "Guaranteed to be there" ad campaign — which, TBH, I don't know if anyone actually put to the test. And lastly, the Quik Drop box at Blockbuster Video stores that seriously saved you (or your parents) from having to pay the late fee.
