Victoria Beckham’s Birthday Party for Mom

One of the perks of being rich and famous is the ability to repay your parents for the years of hard work and sacrifice they contributed to your career. And Victoria Beckham hooked her mother up with a smashing good time on her 60th birthday.

Over the weekend, Posh rented out London’s 5-star Claridge’s hotel for the swanky affair, sparing no expense when it came to decoration and catering.

In fact, the vintage pink champagne they drank was one of the priciest. According to a witness, “I saw at least five bottles of Laurent Perrier pink champagne leave the room empty - and it costs £85 a bottle. But it was clear from the amount of bubbly going into the room that money was no object and Victoria really wanted to spoil her mum and her friends. Everyone was smiling - it looked like a really cool party.”

And when it came to her own attire, Victoria outdid herself once again. She sported a white and sliver frock with a faux fur bolero. But one accessory was missing - David Beckham. He was back in the States with his soccer team, the LA Galaxy.
