Nicola Peltz Beckham’s Style Evolution: From Anwar Hadid Dating Era to Brooklyn Beckham
In the middle of the Beckham family drama, we can’t help but look at Nicola Peltz Beckham’s style over the years.
On Monday (19 January), Brooklyn Beckham – son of David and Victoria Beckham, photographer turned self-proclaimed chef, and husband of Nicola Peltz Beckham – posted a series of allegations against his megastar parents in a multipart Instagram story. Allegedly, his former Spice Girl mother stole the couple’s first dance at their 2022 wedding, while his athlete father refused to be in the same space as his wife.
Long story short, he ended his public rant stating, “I don’t want to reconcile with my family,” sending the internet into an immediate meltdown. However, this isn’t Nicola’s first rodeo in the spotlight. If anything, she was practically born for it. Nicola is the daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz and supermodel Claudia Heffner Peltz. She famously dated Anwar Hadid (brother of Gigi and Bella Hadid) in 2017, with the pair splitting a year later. In late 2019, she met British-born Brooklyn Beckham and got engaged just months afterward. By April 9, 2022, the duo got married on Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson’s £79m ($103m) estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
While many know her through her well-documented romances, her fashion moments are equally a part of the pop-culture zeitgeist. From indulging in the style trends of 2016 to saying her vows in a custom Valentino gown (an event that sparked online discourse for years), it’s no wonder she has one of the Beckhams wrapped around her finger.
