Victoria Beckham was somewhat less than in fits of hilarity when she became the butt of a joke at the star-studded Time100 Gala in New York.
She and her husband Sir David Beckham were jointly featured on this year's list and oozed high-octane glamour during its celebratory event at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
But when comedian Nikki Glaser took the stage, she skewered Victoria's well-known penchant for posing with a severe look on her face.
'One of the most impressive people on the list is Victoria Beckham, of course.
She was a global pop star, now a serious fashion designer,' Glaser began.
'She’s married to David Beckham.
She’s rich, successful, stunning – what’s it gonna take to get you to smile?
I mean, really, please, smile!
You’re one of the only British people who should,' said Glaser, in footage obtained by the Hollywood Reporter.
Victoria, 52, on the other hand, wore a pinched, forced-looking half-smile while David, 50, sat beside her, grinning and chuckling nervously.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for the Beckhams for comment.
Victoria cut an ethereal figure at the event, draped in a off-white silk gown that highlighted the lithe figure she achieved with a diet David described as consisting almost entirely of 'grilled fish' and 'steamed vegetables.'
Meanwhile David, who was knighted by King Charles only this past November, glowed as he posed proudly beside his wife in a classic suit and tie.
It comes after Victoria addressed her 'challenging' past year amid her feud with son Brooklyn in a rare TV interview on Tuesday.
When asked on the Today show by hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones about the tumultuous recent time for the family Victoria didn't specifically reference her son, 27, but said she will 'always protect' her kids.
Jenna directly asked her in the interview: 'You have had a pretty public challenging year - we have talked about it on this show.
How do you get through the tough times?'
She replied: 'You know, myself and David, we're so close and we have incredible people around us.
'We're close to my parents and David's parents.
We support each other through everything that we do.
'We love our children so much and have always really focused on protecting our children.
But we laugh a lot.
David Beckham is really, super funny.'
Brooklyn cut ties with his family in a scathing social media statement in January, declaring he has no plans to reconcile with his famous parents and accusing them of 'controlling him for most of his life'.
David and Victoria have not been seen with their son since.
Victoria also said in the new interview that her and her husband rely on each other to navigate tough times.
She said: 'We support each other through everything that we do.
We've grown together.
And that's where I feel so blessed.
'We really have grown together.
We support each other.
We've both got big dreams.
We're both very, very ambitious and we support each other.
I want him to be the best version of himself and that's what he wants for me.'
After the TV appearance Victoria shared snaps with the presenters and a glimpse of herself getting ready backstage.
As the interview dropped Brooklyn posted a snap on Instagram with his dogs as he continued to ignore the drama.
Just last week Victoria said it's important that her children behave 'appropriately' amid the family's ongoing feud with eldest son Brooklyn.
The Spice Girl was asked about her son before talk turned to her youngest child Harper.
Describing her 14-year-old daughter, Victoria said: 'She's very sweet, she's very kind, she works hard, and she's also very appropriate, which I think is really important as well.'
Her remarks followed Brooklyn's explosive statement about their estrangement, in which he claimed that Victoria had danced 'inappropriately' with him at his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz.
She also addressed the feud directly, saying: 'I think that we've always — we love our children so much.
We've always tried to be the best parents that we can be.
'And you know, we've been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we've ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children.
And you know, that's all I really want to say about it'.
Victoria was also asked about whether she feels 'remorse' about bringing her family, including her four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14, as well as her parents, into the public spotlight.
She told The Wall Street Journal: 'I wouldn't say it comes with guilt, I'd say that there was a lot of adjusting from my mum and dad, when all of a sudden there were paparazzi outside their house,' she replied.
'We've really taken our families on this ride with us'.
