Nicola Peltz was photographed wearing a blue and white Dolce & Gabbana biker jacket last February – which drew a puzzled reaction from Victoria’s friends after she wore the same jacket
Nicola Peltz has been accused of “bizarre behaviour” after wearing a jacket previously worn by her mother in law Victoria Beckham.
Nicola was photographed wearing a blue and white Dolce & Gabbana biker jacket last February. Victoria had famously worn the same jacket in the terraces of Old Trafford to watch Manchester United be crowned Premier League champions, in 2001.
At the time it was speculated by outlets – including fashion bible Vogue – that Nicola had been “granted access to her mother-in-law’s personal archive of noughties fashion.” But friends of the Beckhams say this was not the case at all.
One said: “If not obsessive, it was definitely the most bizarre behaviour especially given relations weren’t the greatest anyway in the wake of the wedding.”
Friends of Nicola claimed that her mum bought her the jacket in September 2023, “not knowing Victoria had worn it”.
“Nicola however did recognize the jacket and thought it was sweet to wear something her mother in law had worn,” the pal said. “Nicola has only ever attempted to be close to the Beckhams as she’s close with her own family.”
The flashpoint comes as the Mirror exclusively told how the row between David and Victoria Beckham and their daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz descended into open warfare.
The Mirror’s Tom Bryant told revealed how the couple’s friends have reacted with fury after Nicola’s pals made a series of extraordinary claims about the reason why the rift between Brooklyn and his family emerged.
Her friend claimed: “We are at this point because Nicola, an outsider coming into the Beckham family, has been able to help Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behavior within his family, that it’s not healthy and it’s not normal and it’s not ok.”
But the comments have sparked outrage from sources close to the Beckhams.
“I don’t think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack,” the source said. “It doesn’t even warrant a response it’s so ludicrous and patently untrue.”
A second source close to the family said they had been left “open-mouthed” that Nicola’s friends were “pumping out untruths.” The source added: ““You wouldn’t expect this of your worst enemy, let alone close family members. The whole thing beggars belief.”
Some are worried that Brooklyn has cut himself off not just from his mum and dad, but his siblings and old friends too.
“It’s a desperately sad situation,” says one pal. “Everyone loves Brooklyn so much and hopes things can be resolved.”
Many have pointed to Nicola’s upbringing and the influence of her doting, yet combative billionaire businessman father Nelson Peltz. A source said: “You don’t get that rich by being shy and retiring. There is no doubt Nicola has inherited his spirit.”
Her in-laws have watched as both Nicola, and her father, have launched two expensive lawsuits in as many years.
First, Mr Peltz sued the wedding planners who oversaw Nicola and Brooklyn nuptials last April because of alleged ‘mistakes’. The planners hit back and filed a counterclaim in a Miami court for breach of contract and ‘interference’ with a business deal. Both parties eventually settled.
Then last July, Nicola herself took legal action against the groomer who worked on her chihuahua Nala shortly before her death. A source said: “Nicola doesn’t take any prisoners and woe betide anyone who crosses her. The Beckhams are now in the crosshairs. It’s why no one can see any way this whole saga ends anytime soon.”
