The alleged rift between Victoria Beckham, 51, and her daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz, 30, first began because Peltz wore a custom Valentino dress for her wedding day instead of a dress designed by her mother-in-law. When Nicola got engaged to Beckham’s son, Brooklyn, the designer told Nicola that she’d love to make her wedding dress. Nicola said that it would be an honor to wear a Victoria Beckham original. But before long, Beckham decided it wasn’t a priority to create the dress, and she allegedly called Peltz’s mother to deliver the news. “Nicola was painted as a brat for not wearing Victoria Beckham at the wedding,” an unnamed source told People. Peltz has denied the rumors, saying, “I was going to [wear Victoria Beckham] and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress.” Rumors of the rift started brewing after Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in March.
