Victoria Beckham has seemingly sent a coded message to her daughter in law Nicola Peltz amid rumours of a family feud. The former Spice Girls singer took charge in style, sporting a custom corset she designed for her daughter-in-law.

The 51-year-old fashion icon turned heads at her birthday celebration this week, pairing a plunging white corset with sleek, tailored trousers. This striking piece was originally created by Victoria for US actress Nicola Peltz, 30, who is married to her eldest son, Brooklyn.

Nicola showcased the corset at the premiere of her film Lola last year, and in April 2024, she shared a throwback photo with Victoria to mark her 50th birthday, writing, “Happy Birthday to my beautiful MIL.” However, this week, Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola failed to acknowledge Victoria’s birthday, sparking speculation of tension within the family.

While Romeo, 22, and Harper, 13, attended a family gathering, Brooklyn was seen posting photos with Nicola at Coachella, fueling rumors of a possible rift. Despite receiving an outpouring of birthday wishes on social media, including from her husband David Beckham, 50, it was noted that her eldest son Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham remained silent online.

Taking to Instagram on Friday night, Victoria gave her followers a sneak peek at her lavish celebrations as she shared pictures of herself and David posing for the camera. The mum-of-four then posted a snap of herself climbing up a ladder off the yacht they celebrated on in her all-white outfit.

“It wasn’t all glamour last night,” Victoria jokingly captioned the shot – tagging husband David in the image. Earlier, the former Spice Girl hinted that Brooklyn and his younger brother Cruz Beckham, 20, were not present at her birthday bash, as they were absent from the photos she shared. The reason for their absence remains unclear.

She did reveal, however, that she was joined by David and their other children Romeo Beckham, 22, and Harper Beckham, 13, along with some friends. While Cruz was also missing from the party, Brooklyn was singled out as the only one who didn’t post a birthday tribute to his mum on social media.

Fans first noticed the apparent snub on his last Instagram post, which celebrated his third wedding anniversary with wife Nicola Peltz on April 9. Instead of acknowledging Victoria’s 51st birthday on Thursday, Nicola then posted a promotional photo of Brooklyn undergoing cupping therapy.

And just sixty minutes after Victoria shared some heartfelt birthday photographs, her eldest, Brooklyn Beckham, hit Instagram with a bunch of snaps from Coachella in California. He was living it up at the festival last weekend with his wife Nicola and captioned their memories with: “Made amazing memories this year x [heart emoji].”

It wasn’t too long before eagle-eyed fans noticed that Brooklyn and his partner Nicola, aged 30, were nowhere to be seen at David Beckham’s early birthday bash in Miami on March 30 either. Moreover, whispers started doing rounds when the pair also missed out on fashion icon Victoria’s latest Paris Fashion Week Show.
