On April 9, Nicola Peltz married Brooklyn Beckham at her family’s Palm Beach home wearing Valentino Haute Couture. Peltz’s stylist, Leslie Fremar, said the traditional-with-a-twist wedding gown is the most beautiful dress she has ever seen. This is a huge statement to make, considering Fremar is the woman behind the wardrobes of Demi Moore, Julianne Moore, and Charlize Theron. The Hollywood dresser knows a good gown when she sees one. Even Peltz is in awe of this comment. “Coming from Leslie, that is incredible,” the bride told British , days before saying “I do.” (See photos here.)
Peltz’s hair and makeup were an ode to ’90s Claudia Schiffer—a decision she made with her long-time glam squad Kate Lee and Adir Abergel, after trials in Peltz’s L.A. apartment, where she put a T-shirt over her head to emulate her veil. “I always thought I wanted my hair half up, half down, but we’re going for long bangs with loose, natural hair,” she said of paying tribute to her favorite supermodel, who influenced other outfit choices during the three-day wedding festivities.
The one element of the rigorously planned bridalwear that remained a surprise was Peltz’s “something blue”—an evil eye and a sweet message from her mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, sewn into the skirt lengths of her heavy Valentino gown. As a gift to her new husband, Peltz sewed a bespoke label into his Dior wedding suit. “Brooklyn loves labels,” explains Nicola. “Two years ago for Christmas, I made a whole suitcase full of personalized ones for him.” These sweet touches (see more fawning in British ) are a mark of a couple truly in love.
“Weddings come with many emotions,” said Fremar. “There’s stress, there’s excitement, there’s nerves…. There’s lots of different energies going around. But the clothes are complete.”
