And the bride wore Valentino!
Nicola PeltzmarriedBrooklyn Beckhamon Saturday in a star-studded bash at her parents' Palm Beach estate — and her bridal look was a true fashion fairytale.
The actress collaborated with the design team at Valentino, including the Italian label’s creative directorPierpaolo Piccioli, on a bespoke wedding dress a year in the making, taking two trips to the label’s Rome headquarters, in addition to two fittings in the U.S.
Peltz, 27, donned a classic haute couture wedding gown with a sleeveless square neckline and a cathedral-length train, complemented with an equally long French lace veil and matching gloves.

TheBates Motelactress, who later opted for a second look during the reception, toldVogue"it was a no-brainer" to go with Valentino for her big day, having long admired Piccioli’s couture shows and evensporting Valentinoat 2021’sMet Gala.
Her stylist Leslie Fremar raved about the final product as “a work of art,” thanks to the dress' simple fabric and its lace overlay. “The simplicity of it was magnificent,” Fremar toldVogue. “We didn’t have to overly detail the dress to accomplish the magnitude of it, so we ended up eliminating the embroidery.”
For her beauty look, Peltz took inspiration fromClaudia Schifferand Brigitte Bardot for a half-up, half-down hairstyle, which she achieved with help from her hairstylist Adir Abergel, with whom she first worked while promotingTransformers: Age of Extinctionin 2014.
“She’s like my little sister – she annoys me all the time, but she’s also the best,” Abergel toldVogue. “She’s been sending me all of these rad images of early Claudia Schiffer – including pictures of her with bangs – so they inspired us, plus the dress, which is just beautiful.”
Meanwhile, Chanel makeup artist Kate Lee accentuated Peltz’s natural beauty.
“We decided on a very fresh, natural look – barely-there but with a few interesting details that will pop under the veil,” Lee said. “The intention was to accentuate her natural features, while adding a few modern, not-so-traditional details.”
Peltz toldCR Fashion Booklast year, that she was thrilled to work with the Valentino team on her dream bridal wardrobe, traveling to Italy for design meetings and fittings with her family and stylist.
“We’ve been to Rome twice, watching everyone in the atelier, they’re just so talented. The first time I went to Rome, I brought my mom and my brother Brad, who’s actually my man of honor, and then Leslie Fremar who’s one of my best friends in the whole world,” she shared. “It is really a beautiful thing to be a part of, and it’s very exciting.”
While she didn’t have a vision of her dream dress going into the design process, she did find the design partnership helpful.
“I feel like actually, people have asked me that, and I have not thought of a specific dress that I want to get married in,” she toldCR Fashion Book. “So actually finding what that is with Valentino has been really amazing. The creative process has been fun, like finding the perfect fit and fabric.
Beckham, 23, and Peltzgot engaged in July 2020, after first making their relationship public that January.
The asymmetrical design was part of the fashion tastemaker’s Spring 2020 collection and features a plunging neckline with layers of delicate ruffles. Itretails for $1,450 and has since sold out.
