Nicola Peltz’s wedding dress was expected to be tasteful, stylish, and expensive. After all, she’s a powerful social media influencer on Instagram. She is also a popular actress and the daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz and super-model Claudia Heffner.
Her husband, media personality Brooklyn Beckham, has 16 million followers on Instagram, which means the Nicola and Peltz romance was bound to play out as a public. He is the son of soccer star David Beckham and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.
Read on to find out more about Nicola Peltz’s unique Valentino wedding dress, the celebrities that attended the ceremony, and how these two high-profile personalities met and fell in love.
Nicola and Brooklyn’s Journey to the Altar
For years, Nicola and Brooklyn moved in the same wealthy social circles. They first met at the Coachella Festival in 2017, but it wasn’t love at first sight. In fact, Nicola claims they didn’t get along right away.
When they crossed paths two years later, she was 28 and he was 24. They fell in love at the Met Gala in 2019. At the time, she was wearing a Valentino gown, similar to the wedding dress she would wear to their wedding two years later. The main difference is that this gown was bright-pink.
By January 2020, the smitten couple were posting almost daily selfies of themselves on Instagram. Many of these cell phone photos were shot in front of a mirror, with the couple showing off their tattoos and lingerie. They also liked to photograph themselves wearing matching outfits and kissing in public.
In April 2020, Brooklyn flew from the Cotswolds in England to New York. He decided that pandemic isolation provided the perfect opportunity for him to spend a lot of quality time with his wife-to-be.
Brooklyn proposed to Nicola on July 11, 2020. He decorated their space with candles and flowers and presented her an enormous five-carat emerald diamond engagement ring worth $250,000. After she said yes, his little sister, Harper Beckham, took a photo of them embracing and posted it on social media.
A Star-Studded Celebrity Event
Nicola and Brooklyn’s wedding was a three-day star-studded affair that cost $4 million. It was held at her parent’s mansion in Palm Beach, FL. Guests included Gordon Ramsey, Serena Williams, and Eva Longoria, and they were encouraged to make donations to the war-torn country of the Ukraine.
Three days after the wedding, Brooklyn presented Nicole with a large oval diamond ring that is worth $2 million. Her matching V-shaped wedding band that features a row of diamonds is worth $90,000.
Nicola Peltz’s Wedding Dress Was a Team Effort
If there’s one fashion house associated with impeccable taste and Old-World money it’s Valentino. Established in 1960 in Florence, Italy, the House of Valentino has created wedding dresses for Anne Hathaway, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophie Hunter, and Jennifer Lopez.
Pierpaolo Piccolini, the current director of the Valentino Fashion House, assigned a team of bridal experts to help Nicola and her long-time fashion stylist Leslie Fremar to create a signature wedding look. This included Chanel make-up with heavy eyeliner and a pale lipstick, as well as a 60’s half ponytail.
Piccolini was chosen to design the dress because Nicola was thrilled with a pink column-style gown that he designed for her to wear to the 2021 Met Gala. It was also accessorized with fingerless gloves. The style was sentimental to her, as she was wearing the pink dress when Brooklyn fell in love with her.
The Inspiration for Nicola Peltz’s Wedding Dress
Nicola chose a demure, but still sexy haute-couture Valentino dress worthy of her wealth and class. Brooklyn wore a custom suit by Kim Jones for Dior.
Nicola’s gown was inspired by 90’s supermodel Claudia Shiffer’s famous retro sixties look. The original look favored high-waisted shifts with straight square necklines, bangs, and hair swept up into a half pony-tail.
What Is Nicola Peltz’s Wedding Dress Worth?
The cost of Nicola Peltz’s wedding dress is estimated to be $60,000. She wore a pair of Versace satin platform heels to match the dress worth $2000.
A Detailed Look at Nicola Peltz’s Wedding Dress
Nicola was dressed in white silk from head to toe. Her Valentino gown had a square neck, thick ribbon straps, and an open back. The column skirt fell in a straight clean line from a high waist that supported a long paddle-shaped silk train.
The sleek and shiny dress was plain, but the 10-foot veil secured to the crown of her head boasted simple floral embellishments that matched the appliques on her above-the-elbow fingerless lace gloves.
She also wore her engagement ring and tasteful diamond stud earrings. Her mother had the seamstress sew an Evil Eye charm into the lining of the dress. Based on an old superstition, it helps protect the bride from jealous eyes.
