It’s the stuff that modern fairytales are made of: beautiful blonde film star meets handsome young scion of one of Britain’s most famous – and fashionable – families, sparks fly, and a truly 21st century romance unfolds.
Now, a little over two years after the world learned that Nicola Peltz – daughter of billionaire investor Nelson Peltz and model Claudia Heffner – and Brooklyn Beckham – son of pop star-turned-designer Victoria and England footballing legend David – were dating, the couple has exchanged vows at the Peltz family’s sprawling Palm Beach estate, as guests including Venus and Serena Williams, Eva Longoria, and two of Victoria’s former bandmates – Spices Sporty and Scary – looked on.
The bride wore a romantic Valentino couture gown with a show-stopping train, chosen with the help of her stylist Leslie Fremar in the months leading up to one of the most opulent – and star-studded – weddings of the year. On top of the exquisite craftsmanship, the dress incorporated sweet personal details: the bride’s mother added an evil eye as a talisman for her daughter, along with a message that the Valentino team stitched into the wedding gown using blue thread.
The couple’s guests – including, of course, the entire Beckham clan – flew into Florida for a full weekend of celebrations steered by wedding planner extraordinaire Michelle Rago, that kicked off with an intimate dinner on Friday night, for which family friend Kim Jones outfitted the wedding party in Dior suiting.
Unsurprisingly, plenty of designs by newly-minted mother-in-law Victoria were spied in the congregation at the ceremony on Saturday – not least the one she wore herself, a metallic, couture-level slip dress with nods to Studio 54, and the effect created by moonlight when it bounces off the ocean. VB also dressed her longtime friend Longoria (in her favourite slinky black dress from her spring/summer 2022 collection), as well as model Mia Regan, Romeo’s plus-one for his big brother’s wedding weekend.
