Victoria Beckham Has Got A New Muse

Brooklyn Beckham’s proposal to Nicola Peltz has brought with it myriad Instagrammable moments of the happy couple in various states of embrace. Among those posting pictures of the pair is proud mother Victoria Beckham, who appears to be relishing her budding relationship with her new daughter-in-law. VB gifted the Transformers star the ruffled, buttercup-yellow dress Peltz wore for her engagement portrait, and subsequently invited the 25-year-old on a shopping spree in her Dover Street store.

The fruits of Peltz’s haul have just become apparent on Victoria’s Instagram, as the designer shared a snap of “the sweetest couple at sunset”. Against the backdrop of an ombré sky and calm sea, Peltz wears Victoria Beckham’s autumn/winter 2020 rose dappled dress. Retailing for £1,450, VB describes the design as “a moody floral print, anchored by unexpected touches of hardware, [which] creates a modern take on bohemian codes”. Peltz cinched her silk georgette midi dress with a slim burgundy belt and altered the chain detail on the shoulder to slightly ruch the sleeves.

Peltz’s growing collection doesn’t stop at mainline Victoria Beckham. The actor has swapped out her old gym gear for box-fresh Victoria Beckham x Reebok kit, and has even copied her mother-in-law’s gym selfie technique to capture her new leggings and crop tops. It’s surely only a matter of time before we see NP and VB post a family workout picture of their identical get-ups.

Perhaps the designer-muse relationship is working because Peltz carved out her personal style long ago, when rising up the ranks in the film industry. “Nicola understands who she is, what she likes and what works on her,” her longtime stylist Leslie Fremar has previously told British Vogue. “It’s great working with someone who’s so assertive, because you can bring ideas to the table without feeling like you’re taking over.”

Like Beckham, Peltz enjoys a pared-back aesthetic and is a stickler for good tailoring – “She knows her sleeve length and where everything is supposed to fall on the body,” attests Fremar. Peltz is also a keen learner, soaking up information as Victoria did when first finding her place in an industry not accustomed to welcoming former pop stars. “Nicola pays attention, she appreciates people who are trained in their fields and she enjoys it,” adds the Hollywood stylist of her client’s work ethic. Time will tell whether they collaborate on the most memorable dress of all: Peltz’s wedding gown.
