'Someone is trying to be like daddy!' David Beckham jokes son Romeo, 12, is copying his style as he reveals edgy new man bun
His father is one of the globe's most stylish men, having created many a trend in his time.
So when Romeo Beckham debuted his hip little man bun on Sunday evening - as he joined a family dinner out in Malibu, Los Angeles - it was with little surprise.
What was a surprise, however, is that just days before, the fashionable 12-year-old was sporting a completely different hairdo.

Rocking dad's look! Romeo Beckham stepped out with his short hair styled into a man bun, as he emerged for dinner at Nobu in Malibu on Sunday with his famous family
The second oldest child of David and Victoria Beckham certainly pulled off the painfully cool look with ease, teaming his scraped back mini-bun with a striped t-shirt, blue shirt layered over the top and black jeans.
The light-haired model's locks were longer on the top, and swept back into the top knot, with the underside shaved to a very close crop.
However, on closer inspection, it would seem his hair is not quite long enough to fully curl round into a bun, rather appearing more like a ponytail instead.
And his dad David was clearly rather amused with Romeo's new look, as he shared a photo of his son sitting on his beloved Triumph Bonneville T100 motorcycle - fully revealing the striking 'do - on his Instagram page.

Copycat? The 12-year-old Beckham boy's new style could well have been influenced by one of David's more notable hair looks, such as the above from 2003
'Someone is trying to be like daddy': David, 40, shared a snap of his son on his beloved motorcycle, revealing his new top knot style and also joking that he was mimicking his style
Joking along with the snap, the retired footballer wrote: 'Bike , ponytail , jean shirt , black jeans I think someone is trying to be like daddy ... Off my bike Mr Romeo.'
The very same photo was posted by the young man himself, but he needed no caption and let the image say it all.
Indeed, it certainly appears that the youngster has taken a look through his famous parent's back catalogue of looks, one of which did include the now-iconic man bun.
Amid the mohawks, floppy curtains, elegant quiffs and shaven-headed styles, one of self-confessed 'metrosexual' David's most famous hairstyles was the man bun.
It was a look he favoured back in 2003, his light blonde tresses tamed into the messy top knot that was - at the time - unusual.
Quick change: Just days before - on Thursday - Romeo was seen out with his brother Brooklyn, rocking a sweep-over style haircut
But fast-forward to 2015 and the look has been tried, tested and popularised by plenty of fashion-forward gents across the world, and it's an appearance that has now filtered down to the tweens.
Romeo has so far earned himself a place among the fashion elite at a tender age, having modelled for uber-label Burberry last year.
And the Beckham boy looked proud of his stylish new appearance as he emerged with his family for dinner at Nobu in Malibu, to celebrate his 16-year-old brother Brooklyn's GCSE results success.
Brooklyn, dressed down in a flannel shirt and jeans, was clutching a camera, poised to take endless snaps of the meal for their family photo album.
Little bun! Although the tween tried with his hair, the underside shaved close to his scalp, his locks weren't quite long enough to make it into a full bun
Inspiration: Of all the hairstyles the retired footballer has rocked over the years, the man bun was one of the most iconic, a look he sported years before it became a real trend among men
The teen has proved himself to be quite the photographer in recent months, documenting his exam efforts on his Instagram account - and Sunday was no exception.
But it was Romeo's distinct London-based hipster look that caught the eye, as well as his little sister Harper, four, who was the picture of girlish cuteness in her summer dress.
Rounding up the Beckham clan was second youngest, 10-year-old Cruz, who looked like a cool customer himself in a denim shirt and jeans.
The retired footballer was showing off his extensive tattoos in his plain black T-shirt and matching jeans while accompanying the little girl into the venue.
Meanwhile, Victoria, 41, didn't waste an opportunity to look stylish, rocking skinny leather trousers, a loose white blouse and a blazer perched on her shoulders like a cape.
The previous day the proud mother had shared her joy at her eldest's exam results, posting her joy on her Instagram page.
She gushed: 'Congratulations to my baby for passing all of his exams x we r all so proud of u x ❤️ x vb.'
