Beckham was handpicked by Burberry chief creative officer Christopher Bailey to star in the brand's new campaign. He described the 10 year-old as "a joy to work with" and claimed he "really stole the show."

The advert was shot by renowned fashion photographer Mario Testino, long time Burberry collaborator, and the man behind the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's engagement portraits.

Little Beckham alluded to his relationship with the brand last week when he sported a dark Burberry trench coat to the preview of Viva Forever! - the musical created in honour of his mother Victoria's former band the Spice Girls - but no one could have guessed he would be cast alongside Edie Campbell and Charlie France in the new, global advertising campaign.

"We had such fun shooting the campaign and I think that comes through in the images which really reflect the upbeat spirit of the collection" says Bailey.

In January 2011, Romeo found himself under the style spotlight aged just eight years when GQ magazine included him in its best-dressed men of the year list.

Arguably the most style-conscious of the Beckham brood, with a fashion designer mother and father who has his own range stocked in H&M, it was only a matter of time before Romeo followed in his parents' footsteps.

We can only wonder what his big brother Brooklyn, 13, is making of Romeo's very stylish - and public turn.
