Cruz Beckham, stepping out in Paris with his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, the youngest son of Victoria and David Beckham, was spotted in a laid-back but striking fit: oversized grey trench, relaxed dark denim, and a crisp white T-shirt boldly printed with the date 24.10.25. 

His girlfriend coordinated the look with a chic leather jacket, baseball cap, and gloves, also nodding to the same mysterious date. And just like that, the countdown clock has started.

The Power of the Tease

The Beckham family knows how to generate intrigue. Whether it’s Victoria’s luxury fashion empire or Brooklyn Beckham’s viral wedding coverage, the Beckhams are seasoned in creating hype. Now it seems Cruz is taking a page out of their playbook.

The styling doesn’t feel accidental. Coordinated outfits, identical date stamps, and the casual-but-strategic paparazzi moment? It screams rollout, but rollout for what?

Theories: What Could 24.10.25 Mean?

What Could 24.10.25 Mean?

Music Release

Cruz Beckham has been building a name in the music industry, dropping hints about studio time and collaborations. A date set exactly one year ahead could signal a debut album release or a major single that’s already in the works. The Beckhams are known for long-game PR, so teasing a full year in advance would fit the mold.

Fashion Drop

With his mother’s fashion pedigree, it wouldn’t be surprising if Cruz is leaning into clothing. The coordinated cap, tee, and outerwear almost resemble early samples from a capsule line. Could 24.10.25 be the official launch date of a Cruz Beckham fashion brand?

Event or Collab

Sometimes a date is less about a product and more about an event. Think about celebrity-hosted festivals, charity concerts, or collabs with streetwear giants. Cruz’s growing cultural footprint could make him the centerpiece of a buzzy October 2025 launch.

In the age of celebrity marketing, “date drops” are the new teaser trailers.

The boldness of printing the date on everyday pieces makes it wearable PR, extending the mystery far beyond a press release. Anyone who sees the photos (or spots them on the street) is instantly pulled into the guessing game.

Cruz has often been described as the “quiet Beckham,” growing up somewhat away from the spotlight compared to his siblings. But this public statement outfit suggests he’s gearing up for something big, and he wants the world to start paying attention.

Whether it’s music, fashion, or a Beckham-scale cultural event, the date 24.10.25 has officially been planted in our heads.
