Brooklyn Beckham‘s explosive January 19, 2026, Instagram statement has reignited scrutiny over one specific allegation: that his mother Victoria Beckham “cancelled making Nicola Peltz’s dress in the eleventh hour,” despite Nicola’s excitement to wear a Victoria Beckham design, forcing an urgent scramble for a replacement ahead of their April 2022 wedding.

In his six-part post, Brooklyn wrote: “My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.” This claim paints a picture of last-minute betrayal as part of broader accusations of family sabotage and control.

However, resurfaced interviews from 2022 paint a more nuanced—or contradictory—picture. Nicola’s bridal stylist Leslie Fremar (known for working with stars like Charlize Theron and Demi Moore) told Vogue in April 2022, shortly after the wedding, that Nicola’s final gown—a custom Valentino Haute Couture creation—was “the culmination of a year’s worth of conversations with Valentino director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s team.”

The process included two trips to Valentino’s Rome headquarters, two fittings in the US, and even seamstresses traveling to Miami for final touches. Fremar described it as “the ultimate couture experience,” emphasizing the deliberate, long-term planning and simplicity that made the dress magnificent without excessive detail.

Nicola herself addressed the dress drama in earlier interviews. In a 2022 Variety chat, she explained she initially wanted a Victoria Beckham gown but the atelier couldn’t accommodate the timeline, leading her to pivot to Valentino as her “first port of call.”

In Grazia USA, she noted the switch happened after just “a few days” of Victoria agreeing then realizing it wasn’t feasible—no mention of an eleventh-hour pullout.

These accounts suggest the Valentino dress was in development for months, potentially overlapping or following any early Victoria discussions, rather than a panicked rush.

Online debates on Reddit, X, and Instagram are split: some see Brooklyn’s version as emotional truth amid family tension, while others point to the timeline discrepancies as potential holes in his narrative.

The wedding dress saga has long been a flashpoint in rumors about the Beckhams vs. Peltz-Beckhams, but these conflicting recollections highlight how perspectives can shift in high-stakes family stories. With the feud still fresh and no direct rebuttal from Victoria, fans continue parsing every detail for clues.
