  • If you wanna be my double! How Nicola Peltz is morphing into a Victoria Beckham ‘Wannabe’ – with lookalike leather jackets, scarily similar dance moves and stealing her mother-in-law’s Spice Girl style

    If you wanna be my double! How Nicola Peltz is morphing into a Victoria Beckham ‘Wannabe’ – with lookalike leather jackets, scarily similar dance moves and stealing her mother-in-law’s Spice Girl style

    Legend would have it that men typically marry women who both resemble and act like their own mothers.

    It’s a contentious theory, of course, for many would disagree and even take umbrage with the idea of marrying anyone who resembled a parent.

     

    Not so Brooklyn Beckham, whose penchant for mirroring his famous father’s love of tattoos is only rivalled by his own wife’s apparent transformation into a younger, and arguably wealthier, version of his mother.

    Over recent days the family have been enjoying time aboard David and Victoria’s new £16million superyacht off-the-coast of Miami, a picturesque Floridian backdrop  used to great advantage in much of their latest social media content.

    But it is Nicola Peltz and what appears to be a gradual transition from stylishly aloof heiress to couldn’t-care-less copy of Brooklyn’s mother that has really caught the eye.

    Even more startling, Victoria’s typically sleek, minimalist style has been ditched over recent weeks, with the sartorially astute fashion designer appearing to mirror Brooklyn’s equally well-groomed wife.

     

    Indeed, her usual catwalk-ready couture has been ditched in favour of the casual vests and skimpy shorts typically favoured by her daughter-in-law.

    So are two becoming one? And should Brooklyn be alarmed? Read on for every detail.

    1. LIKE-FOR-LIKE LEATHER

    As far back as February Nicola paid homage to her mother-in-law Victoria Beckham with her latest outfit choice during Paris Fashion Week.

    The actress stepped out in the stylish Dolce & Gabbana leather jacket, which was the exact same one worn by the fashion designer, 49, in 2001.

    The motocross jacket worn by Victoria originally cost £965, however they are now being snapped up second hand for £7,800 on one pre-loved site.

     

    The jacket proved incredibly popular at the time with stars including Naomi Campbell, Madonna and Jennifer Saunders being spotted in it.

    During the outing in the French capital, Nicola styled the iconic jacket with a pair of blue jeans and black platform heeled boots – a look that was no doubt met with an approving nod from her mother-in-law.

    2. DANCING DOUBLES

    Not so long ago they were barely talking after falling out over the design of Nicola’s wedding dress – at least if widely circulating rumours of the time were to be believed.

    But these days the inseparable pair can’t keep away from the dance floor, as recently shared Instagram content will testify.

    In February, Victoria, Brooklyn and Nicola were all pictured smiling and singing along to famous Spice Girls debut single Wannabe during a night out in Los Angeles.

    Victoria was on hand to help her daughter-in-law celebrate the release of new film Lola – her directorial debut – at the city’s Regency Bruin Theatre.

    The curious tableau was all the more compelling by virtue of Nicola’s decision to wear an outfit from Victoria’s fashion range at the premiere – an indication that if any feud existed, it had since been put to bed.

    3. EASTER BUNNIES

    Easter got off to a cracking start in the Beckham household as the family gave David’s new $16million superyacht its debut off the coast of Miami.

    Nicola – whose businessman father Nelson Peltz owns a sprawling family compound on the Florida coast – was on had to join the family, and wasted no time in continuing what appears to be a recurring theme.

    The actress once again matched her mother-in-law as they wore identical bunny ears while dancing to another Spice Girls hit, Say You’ll Be There, aboard the enormous vessel.

    While fashion designer Victoria showcased her trim physique in a black T-shirt and denim shorts, Nicola caught the eye in a revealing cut-out halterneck top while boogying to the 1996 single.

    Curiously, Nicola appeared to mimic Victoria by throwing an arm in the air and flashing a peace-sign – one of the former Spice Girl’s signature moves during her time with the band.

    4. SING WHEN YOU’RE TWINNING

    Clearly putting any fashion fracas behind them, the pair’s close relationship is increasingly reflected in Nicola’s current wardrobe.

    The actress, model and director has, in recent years, adopted some of Victoria’s trademark looks, including adopting a more monochrome wardrobe, sporting leather and wearing her hair in a shade of deep, glossy chestnut.

    Victoria recently told Vanity Fair that her 90s looks have now caught the eye of her Gen-Z kids and their partners, with Nicole seemingly a particular fan.

    She said: ‘It’s funny because the ‘90s have made such a comeback fashionwise, the kids are asking for some of our pieces from then.

    ‘A few years ago, we did sell a lot of our wardrobes for charity, but the kids cannot believe what we sold!’

    Nicola has previously been seen in a sleek leather jacket and wearing shades – perhaps an homage David and Victoria’s famous biker jacket look at the Versace party in 1999.

    What’s clear is that both women are now on the same page when it comes to fashion, which is probably the secret to their increasingly warm relationship

    When she’s not rocking a sharp suit, Victoria’s casual attire often keeps to block colours, with simple accessories such as baseball caps.

    The mother-of-four has been frequently seen through the decades in a Yankees cap, often teemed with lycra and a simple black vest.

    And sure enough, Nicole is also a fan of a vest and cap look, sharing a photo on her Insta recently showing her wearing just that, and holding the family’s adorable white chihuahua.

    When it comes to colour, like Victoria, Nicola has become increasingly averse to it for everyday looks, sticking with reliable neutrals.

    However, the red carpet and big photo shoots occasionally call for a bold pop of colour, and Victoria has pale pinks in her collection this season, including a Cami Floor-Length Dress in Rosa.

    What’s clear is that both women are now on the same page when it comes to fashion, which is probably the secret to their increasingly warm relationship.

    Victoria and Nicola looked happier than ever as they held hands while dancing against the sunset, shutting down rumours of their ever being a feud between them.

    Nicola Peltz Beckham is keeping her fashion choices in the family!

    The model and actress, 28, supported her mother-in-law Victoria Beckham in a photo shared on Sunday as she wore a pair of stylish pants by the fashion designer.

    “So obsessed with these @victoriabeckham pants!  💋💋😊💋,” Nicola captioned the Instagram Story snap.

    She was joined in the photo by her husband Brooklyn Peltz Beckham as the pair posed in matching black outfits on a shiny white entranceway lined with lit trees and red and orange flowers.

    Nicola Peltz Pays Tribute to Her Mother-in-Law as She Wears Victoria Beckham T-Shirt

    Nicola wore a black bustier top and a pair of low-rise flared black pants with a white waistband from Victoria’s label. She accessorized her chic evening look with a small black handbag and a pair of large silver hoop earrings.

    The Transformers star gave a closer glimpse of her beauty look as she also posted a couple of selfies. She wore her hair in loose waves and sported a smoke cat eye with pink blush and pink glossy lips.

    Brooklyn, meanwhile, looked casually cool in the photo as he wore a black henley top with black loose-fitting pants and white Adidas sneakers.

    Nicola’s post honoring Victoria, 49, comes after she paid tribute to her mother-in-law again last month in another photo as she wore a retro T-shirt of Victoria as Posh Spice from her Spice Girls days during a visit to London.

    In the snap, Nicola posed in an oversized white T-shirt with Victoria’s image on the front and the words, ‘POSH’ printed in big block letters. “London times 💋,” Nicola captioned the photo, which was part of a carousel post of her travels.

    Flattered by the tribute, Victoria wrote in the comments section, “Love this on u!!! 😂😂 kisses x.” The mother-of-four’s eldest son Brooklyn, 24, added, “Cutie pie ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” in appreciation of the post.

    Nicola has continued to show support for her mother-in-law and the Beckhams in recent months.

    “Not enough sunscreen on,” he wrote alongside a video in which he kept applying more sunscreen to his face, even though it was already visibly covered with the protective lotion.

    While staying on the island of Sumba, at the exclusive Nihi Sumba resort, the family of six also spent a day with the Sumba Foundation, a non-profit organization that brings healthcare, clean water, employment and education to local inhabitants of the island.

    During their trip, the family played games — including soccer — with a group of local children, while also helping them practice their English.

    “Special day with the inspiring students in Sumba, “Victoria wrote alongside a series of photos documenting the day.. “We loved hanging out helping to teach English and play games!@nihisumba @sumbafoundation X.”

    Victoria Beckham Says Starting a Beauty Brand at 45 Has Been ‘Very Liberating’

    The star launched her clean beauty brand, Victoria Beckham Beauty, this month

    At 45 years old, Victoria Beckham feels like the best version of herself.

    The entrepreneur and designer, who launched her namesake cosmetics brand, Victoria Beckham Beauty, this month, revealed that starting a makeup company in her mid-40s gave her more confidence than ever before. “There’s something really liberating about embracing who I am at 45 years old and owning it, feeling confident, feeling content. Doing beauty has really helped with that – it’s been very liberating,” Beckham said in an interview with Glamour UK.

    She continued: “I want to spread the word that everybody should feel like the best version of themselves. To look after what you have.”

    Glamour UK

    The British star, who launched her own eponymous fashion label in 2008, is no stranger to dealing with public scrutiny, especially in the age of the internet. But Beckham has become a pro at not letting any haters get under her skin.

    “I feel very confident the [Victoria Beckham Beauty] product will speak for itself, as the clothes have,” she said. “I know everything I do will be scrutinized and that’s OK, but I don’t let it get in my way. I’m a very positive person. If you put out positive energy, that’s what you’ll get back.”

    Victoria Beckham Beauty’s products were designed to be luxurious, clean, and marketed towards consumers through honest, minimally-retouched photos (Beckham insisted on keeping her wrinkles in the imagery, Glamour UK reports).

    “What’s real and what’s not has become so blurred with Photoshop,” Beckham said. “I believe people want to see pictures that are real.”

    She continued: “I want to tell people to own who you are. Yes, we – and I – have wrinkles, and that’s OK!”

    At launch, the line includes creamy and pigmented eye shadow “bricks,” kajal liners and shimmering lid lustres. Beckham plans to introduce other categories, including lip and skin, to the brand soon.

    Victoria Beckham is recalling her Spice Girls days.

    The model and fashion designer shared a mirror selfie on her Instagram Saturday, showing her throwing up a piece sign in a strappy black minidress — a pose reminiscent of her time as Posh Spice in the iconic 1990s British girl band.

    “Hoping you all have a spicy Saturday!! 🌶️✌️ Kisses!” she captioned the photo.

    Beckham, 47, previously channeled her pop star past last August when she posted a sweet snapshot with her daughter Harper Seven, 9, in which she held up a peace sign as Harper captured the mirror selfie.

    “Kisses from posh and baby posh ✌🏼💕💕,” the mom of four wrote alongside the mother-daughter photo — a cheeky nod to Beckham’s group nickname.

    Beckham, who shares Harper as well as sons Cruz David, 16, Romeo James, 18, and Brooklyn, 22, with husband David Beckham, discussed her time with the Spice Girls in a letter to her future self published in British Vogue earlier this year.

    In the letter, the fashion designer opened up about the moment she knew it was time to “uncover your own dreams” at an Elton John concert and step away from the girl group.

    “He performed ‘Tiny Dancer,’ as if it were the first time, and you realized this was like oxygen for him,” she wrote, referring to John’s Las Vegas residency. “It was a life-changing moment — while singing and dancing was fun for you, it wasn’t your passion.”

    “That day, you started your quest to uncover your own dreams. It was time to step away from being a Spice Girl,” Beckham continued. “For the first time, you were venturing out on your own, and it was terrifying. It was scary to close a chapter that defined you.”

    Beckham went on to explain how she continues “reinventing” herself and “ignoring the naysayers,” adding, “You always look beyond the conventional wisdom to pave your own path. First, you found this passion in fashion, and most recently, beauty. What comes next? I’m dying to know.”

    With more masters of their crafts on TV than ever before, the NTAs is reintroducing the Expert category.

    All four Strictly judges – Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke – are up for the award in the year that the celebrity dance show celebrates its 20th anniversary.

    Gregg Wallace and John Torode are also marking 20 series of MasterChef, while other trusted figures in the spotlight include Dragons’ Den’s Steven Bartlett and Sara Davies, Kaleb Cooper, Lord Sugar, Martin Lewis, Prue Leith and Simon Cowell.

    Meanwhile, it is a family affair for Dancing On Ice judge Oti Mabuse, who is on the list for the returning Expert category, along with big sister Motsi from BBC One’s Strictly.

    There’s a clash of the Time Lords in Drama Performance, where Doctor David Tennant takes on Ncuti Gatwa, his successor in the Tardis.

    Both go up against Mr Bates vs The Post Office stars Toby Jones and Monica Dolan as well as Baby Reindeer leads Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning.

    Doctor Who, which celebrated its 60th anniversary last year, could also triumph in the Returning Drama category.

    Joining them in this category are stars including Slow Horses’ Gary Oldman, The Tourist’s Jamie Dornan and Trigger Point’s Vicky McClure.

    Good Morning Britain marked 10 years on screen, but will still have to battle it out against early morning rival BBC Breakfast.

    Loose Women and Lorraine are also in the running for NTAs glory, or will This Morning regain its Daytime crown.

    Might this be the year that Traitors and Piano maestro Claudia Winkleman emerges triumphant, or will Ant & Dec make it a remarkable 23 wins in a row?

  • Victoria Beckham Reveals Her $1,867 Daily Beauty Regimen (Here’s Where to Buy Every Single Product)

    Victoria Beckham Reveals Her $1,867 Daily Beauty Regimen (Here’s Where to Buy Every Single Product)

    hese are the beauty products the designer swears by

    As someone who notoriously eats the exact same thing every day to get her dewy complexion (it’s salmon) and rigorously works out for two hours a day (it’s true!), Victoria Beckham is clearly a creature of habit – and even more clearly, it works for her. So when she shared her daily beauty routine with Into the Gloss, we knew that it would be both rigorously tested and darn near miracle-working.

    The clothing designer (who at the time was promoting her own Estée Lauder cosmetics line) walked through her entire product arsenal with Into the Gloss, from skincare to makeup and hair products. She says that as she’s aged, her beauty regimen has gotten less complicated, thanks to more settled skin and fewer wacky looks from her Spice Girls days.

    “I used to have quite bad skin when I was younger and I was constantly covering up spots and things like that. Luckily, I don’t have to worry too much about that anymore. Over time, you learn what works for you,” she explains. “And, you know, I tried some interesting looks in the Spice Girls. At this point, I’ve done so many photoshoots and red carpets that I’ve learned so much about my beauty style by looking back at pictures of myself.”

    Below, we broke down each product she uses so you can shop them too!

    Skincare

    If you’ve noticed that Beckham looks just as radiant in her airport paparazzi photos post-flight as she does on the red carpet, that’s because she gives herself a mini-facial in flight. She cleanses her skin and puts on Sarah Chapman’s Skinesis Stem Cell Collagen Activator ($265) which makes her skin feel “so nice” in the “horrific” airplane air. Then she uses her very own Estée Lauder Morning Aura primer ($95, now out of stock) which she developed specifically to look refreshed when facing the paparazzi after a long flight. (Just one of the perks of having your own beauty line!)

    As for her everyday routine, she starts with Bioderma makeup wipes ($9.90) which she wears actually work to take off long-lasting makeup. Then she follows it up with a rotating variety of cleansers, including Sarah Chapman’s Ultimate Cleanse ($75) and Lancer Skincare’s Method Polish ($75), the latter of which she tells the website is “grainy and abrasive” and is the best scrub she’s tried because “it really stimulates the skin.”

    She follows that up with the Sarah Chapman 3D Moisture Infusion Mask ($84), a jade roller ($90) and La Mer’s Moisturizing Soft Lotion ($260) which she loves because it’s light enough to soak in before her foundation.

    Makeup

    Her number one go-to makeup product is her Estée Lauder Aura Gloss ($45, now sold out). She describes it like a lip balm but she uses it everywhere. “I’ll put it on top of my cheeks, on my eyelids, down the center of my nose, and always on this bow of my lip because it makes the lips look fuller,” she explains. “Also a little bit on my chin. Sometimes if I’m wearing something strapless, I’ll take a little bit, mix it with my moisturizer, and put it on my collarbone. You can do everything with it—it has this nice gold feeling that makes it a good highlighter.” (She also put it on models in her latest runway show.)

    For days she’s just padding around the house, she puts on a tinted moisturizer from Sarah Chapman, Skin Insurance SPF 30 ($67). And for days she needs more coverage, it’s between Burberry Fresh Glow Foundation ($52), Cashmere Concealer ($40) and La Mer foundation ($110).

    To finish off her signature look (contoured cheekbones with a smokey eye) she uses Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Skin Perfecting Powder ($85), Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Eye Kajal ($38) and Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Cheek Crème ($60, all now sold out).

    Body

    When it comes to fragrance, she says she doesn’t have a signature scent, and uses anything by Byredo ($150), but as for moisturizing cream, she loves Weleda Skin Food ($19). “The formula is so thick and buttery,” she says. “When I have a tan, I’ll mix it with coconut oil—the same you use to cook with—and cover my entire body with it. I suppose some people may not like the greasiness, but it helps me hold on to the color. And by the time I leave the house, I feel as if it’s really sunk in.”

    She also posted two body-care products to her Instagram in December – the OSEA Undaria Algae Oil ($48), which she said she applies right out of the shower, and Kanebo Sensai bronzing gel ($34) to amp up one’s glow in the pasty winter months.

    Hair

    She admitted that she can’t do her own hair as well as her own makeup, and says she only lets her L.A. colorist touch her strands. And no one is allowed to touch her brows besides Anastasia Soare, founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills. So the products she uses daily on her own include a simple shampoo ($44) and conditioner ($46) by Oribe which she says smells “incredible.”

    Supplements

    Even when she’s on the go, she makes sure that she packs with her Skinade’s ($150) travel-size flavored anti-aging collagen drink that can improve the appearance and feeling of your skin in as little as 30 days. A holy grail product in her beauty routine, she makes sure she doesn’t go a day without taking it. “My Skinade, which I make sure I take everyday. It comes in bottles that you can keep in the fridge, and it also comes in handy little travel packets.”

    Victoria Beckham Says She ‘Never Had a Nose Job’ as She Reveals Contour ‘Exclamation Trick’

    “It is the nose trick,” Victoria Beckham said of the contouring hack she uses on her nose, which has led many to assume the Spice Girls alum has had a nose job

    Victoria Beckham is sharing some beauty wisdom just in time for the holidays.

    The Spice Girls alum, 48, explained she’s “always had a nose like this” as she denied plastic surgery rumors and discussed contouring with beauty mogul pal Charlotte Tilbury in a video for the celebrity makeup artist’s YouTube channel.

    “People have also said that I’ve had a nose job,” Beckham said. “Never had a nose job. Always had a nose like this. It is the nose trick.”

    Victoria Beckham Reveals How Spice Girls Inspired Her Fashion and Beauty Lines: ‘Learned So Much’

    She and Tilbury, 49, demonstrated the trick (also known as the “exclamation trick”) earlier in the video, using highlighter to draw an exclamation point down Beckham’s nose. “It just gives you a button nose, which you’ve got a gorgeous little button nose,” Tilbury told Beckham.

    Beckham then gifted Tilbury the Matte Bronzing Brick (retailing for $58) from Victoria Beckham Beauty, which she swears by for contouring her nose.

    The designer formerly known as Posh Spice credited her girl group era with sparking her passion for style and beauty as she spoke with Molly Sims for her Lipstick on the Rim podcast in October.

    “I learned so much about those Spice Girl days … being on the stage and wearing a lot of makeup,” she explained in a PEOPLE exclusive clip. “And let me tell you, the more tired that the Spice Girls got, the more makeup we put on our faces.”

    “It was always a dream for me to create a modern luxury fashion and beauty house, and so I knew I had to do that myself,” Beckham added.

    Beckham has also been candid about her feelings on plastic surgery since having her breast implants removed in 2014.

    “I should probably say, don’t mess with your boobs. All those years I denied it — stupid. A sign of insecurity. Just celebrate what you’ve got,” Beckham wrote in a letter to her 18-year-old self for British Vogue in 2017.

    Victoria Beckham and David Beckham are one of pop culture’s best dressed couples for a reason.

    Coming on the heels of the Beckham documentary’s chart-topping debut on Netflix as well as the release of David’s new namesake collection of fragrances, the former Spice Girl, 49, and soccer icon, 48, hit the town for a New York City dinner date. And the duo’s chic going-out looks didn’t miss.

    Being the trendsetter she is, Victoria wore a crimson cap-sleeve gown featuring white lace detailing on the sides and an asymmetrical hem that showed off her carmine red open-toe heels and sheer tights. The pop star seemed to have pulled a page out of her own book as the elegant design appears to be from her own fashion line.

    She accessorized with a large eggshell-colored clutch bag and kept her loose waves down.

    David — who is the owner of an extremely neat and organized wardrobe, as revealed in his docu-series — looked sleek and sharp. He complimented his navy pinstripe suit with a white shirt and white sneakers.

    The Beckhams Prove They’re the Best-Dressed Family in Hollywood at the Premiere of David’s Netflix Doc

    Last week, the pair and their family attended the Beckham London premiere in style.

    The “Spice Up Your Life” singer wore a white suit as opposed to her mini-me Harper Seven Beckham, who stood out in a lilac floor-length dress teamed with a matching clutch bag (clearly taking after her mom’s iconic flair).

    David and his sons Brooklyn Peltz Beckham — accompanied by his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham — and Romeo Beckham — who posed next to his girlfriend Mia Regan — all offered a different take on the tailored suiting. Meanwhile Cruz Beckham, the second youngest of the bunch, kept things chill in a boxy short-sleeve button-up and trousers.

I want to tell my story before someone else does,’ ” he shared. “And then I started doing research and I was like, ‘Jesus, this guy’s life is nuts. Nuts.’ I had no idea.”
