Victoria Beckham has added a new resume highlight—and this one’s extra personal.

This afternoon, the designer received her flowers in her beloved city of Paris as she was honored as a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture at an intimate ceremony.

“It’s been a long road to get here and I’m so grateful to you David—my husband and my original investor—for seeing my passion for this business and my determination to build something that we can both be really proud of. Thank you to my parents and to my children for always believing in my vision.

Every single person in this room has been part of my journey and I am ever grateful to every single one of you.” A few moments earlier, Beckham also acknowledged the support of her business partners David Bellhassen, Ralph Toledano and Neo Investment Partners, as well as her in-house teams “for their dedication, creativity and trust.”

For the occasion, Beckham opted for a sleek black long sleeve gown with leg-baring high cuts on each side. She was joined by David, as well as their children Cruz, Romeo, and Harper Beckham—all dressed in equally dark tones.

Also present at the ceremony were Anna Wintour and Edward Enninful, François-Henri Pinault, Antoine Arnault, Haider Ackermann, and Helena Christensen.
