Brooklyn Beckham was thinking about wife Nicola Peltz Beckham as he attended the 2024 Met Gala solo.

At the annual fashion gala in New York City on May 6, Brooklyn, 25, attended without Nicola, 29, as she continues to spend quality time with her grandmother.

On his Instagram Stories right before hitting the red carpet, Brooklyn wrote, “missing my beautiful wife tonight as my date 🙁 but happy she’s with naunni x can’t wait to see you both tomorrow baby.”

Nicola reshared his post on her own Instagram Stories and added, “i love you baby you look so handsome.” The star added in another post that she and her grandma had a “cupcake party” while “watching all the beautiful MET dresses together.”

The actress recently shared photos on Instagram of her and her grandmother, writing on April 26 that “being with you is literally magic.”

“i love being by your side,” Nicola wrote. “thank you for choosing me to be your granddaughter i more than love you naunni. our time together is so precious to me. thank you for teaching me how to love others so deeply and fiercely. there isn’t a moment next to you i take for granted. your laugh is the best sound in the world and i want to hear it for the rest of my life.”

The dress code for this year’s star-studded event is “The Garden of Time.” The accompanying Costume Institute exhibit, titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” showcases approximately 250 items spanning more than 400 years of fashion history — from an 1877 Charles Frederick Worth ballgown to modern-day pieces from the likes of Phillip Lim and Stella McCartney.

Nicola took Brooklyn to his very first Met Gala in 2021, nearly a year after they announced their engagement. The model and actress wore a bright pink Valentino gown and pale pink opera gloves, while Brooklyn — who is the oldest son of Victoria and David Beckham — opted for a classic black tux.

Only weeks after their lavish Palm Beach, Fla., wedding, the pair stepped out together to the 2022 Met Gala, both in Valentino looks. Nicola once again chose a vibrant pink gown, featuring cape-style sleeves and a plunging neckline, and paired it with vampy platform shoes.

Brooklyn wore a cream suit with a sheer, open-collared shirt and white sneakers. He told Vogue at the time that he wanted to push the envelope for fashion’s biggest night.

“Usually, I just go very simple and wear black suits, but this year, I wanted to add a little bit more,” he said. “When I saw that sheer shirt for the first time, though, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, can I pull this off?’ But it was so comfortable.”

“It’s definitely one of my favorite outfits I’ve ever worn,” he added.

At the 2023 gala, the couple channeled the theme of “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” by wearing the late French designer’s signature colors, black and white. They once again went with Valentino — a white strapless ruched gown with a black bow at the waist for Nicola, and an all-black suit and a sheer shirt for Brooklyn. They both accessorized with a collection of statement necklaces.

Though the two always appear perfectly in sync when it comes to their style, Nicola told PEOPLE last month that the couple’s fashion tastes are often at odds. “I feel like Brooklyn’s favorite is a white T-shirt and jeans,” Nicola said of her husband’s preference for more casual looks.

Nicola said there will be times when she’ll get all dolled up for a party or an event, only to discover that Brooklyn had a decidedly different idea about the dress code for the evening.

“And then he comes out of the closet and I’m like, ‘Well, you’re sweatshirt vibes tonight. I did not get the memo, but we’re too late now, we have to leave,’ ” she joked of their mismatched looks.

While Brooklyn may not share his wife’s passion for fashion, his mother certainly does. Nicola has spoken in the past about how she and mother-in-law Victoria Beckham bond over style, and she recently told PEOPLE she can’t help but covet the designer’s enviable wardrobe.

“Anytime I get in that closet I’m like, ‘Please!’ ” she said. “It’s like heaven in there.”
