There's no better way to face up to a scandal than with a united front and that's exactly what team Beckham have done at Victoria Beckham's show at New York Fashion Week, following the leak of some of David Beckham's emails that show him appearing to be angling for a knighthood in an unbecoming fashion.
Beckham has since claimed that the emails were doctored and taken out of context, with a spokesman telling The Telegraph newspaper, "This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture."
Team Beckham was out in force in New York, with David Beckham sharing a snap of the crew on Instagram pre-show.
Fashion may turn out to be a smoother of embarrassing kinks with Beckham's collection being labelled her strongest yet. David Beckham sat front row, next to Anna Wintour, with the couple's children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. Victoria Beckham also shared a snap of flowers the family had sent her pre-show.

In a statement given before the show Beckham appeared to speak to the current political climate of women's resistance and speaking up.
"I have always been about empowering women, and that's never felt more relevant than it does this season. With everything that's going on right now, it's not easy to be a woman today. We need to be optimistic, but we also want to feel secure, and that's what I tried to achieve this season."
You have to be clothed for the resistance, see, and sometimes that might need more than a fetching pussy hat.
This season Beckham moved away from the fitted body-con dresses that she made her signature in previous collections and presented fluid skirts, lush knits and tailored blazers. They were clothes, said Beckham, that were about "emancipation with optimism" and that were "feminine with a practical streak."
And there's something to be said for that in uncertain times. As Vanessa Friedman wrote of Beckham's collection in The New York Times, "In the end, the job of fashion should be to make a woman feel confident in her clothes — feel like a stronger version of herself — so she can proactively think about something else. Message tees are a beginning, but they are also easy; it's message clothing that is hard."
And Beckham's message seems to be that she's getting on with things, and so should we - preferably in a chic knit dress and a structure long-line blazer.
