Victoria Beckham had always planned to design the wedding dress for her daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz, when she wed Brooklyn in April 2022.
However, Nicola, 30, who is the daughter of a billionaire investor, opted for a Valentino gown for her $3.5 million Palm Beach ceremony. This choice ignited a significant family dispute that remains unresolved.
Fast forward to December 27, at Holly Ramsay’s wedding to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, 31, held at Bath Abbey, and Victoria finally had her moment to shine.
Holly, 26, donned one of Victoria Beckham’s designs as part of the four wedding gowns she wore over the two-day celebration. She exclusively shared images of the dress with Vogue magazine, demonstrating her support for her mother Tana’s close friend.
Holly paired the ensemble with matching platform heels, reminiscent of the ones Nicola wore during her own high-profile bridal appearances.

And Holly’s endorsement of the Beckham fashion brand didn’t stop there.
Bridesmaids Megan and Tilly Ramsay, 27 and 24, and Bethany Peaty, 32, all wore Victoria Beckham’s £990 red satin slinky dresses teamed with red-soled Christian Louboutin heels, gifted by Holly.
Victoria also wore one of her own creations, a £1,290 teal slinky gown which she promoted on Instagram, telling everyone they could buy her heavily photographed look.
Mother of the bride Tana, 51, also stunned in a forest green gown by her fashion mogul friend, with the same dress in different colours available on her website for £990.
Victoria dressed her own daughter Harper, 14, in a sleek £1,190 navy satin dress which she paired with a black fur jacket and some sparkling heels.
It’s not the first time Holly has been branded a stand-in daughter-in-law for Victoria amid her estrangement from Brooklyn and Nicola.

Holly and Adam are embroiled in their own very public family feud with Adam’s family, which again, started over clothing – when his mother was reportedly asked to go for a different outfit choice than the one she had planned to wear to his wedding.
David and Victoria stood in the Peaty family’s place in the traditional family photo taken on the big day, with the Ramsays perched on the other side of the bride and groom.
It was later reported that someone ‘maliciously’ emailed the image to Adam’s family members who remain deeply hurt by the snub.
Holly has known the Beckham family her whole life but among the absentees from her wedding was her long-term friend Brooklyn.
He reportedly didn’t want to take attention from her given the attention surrounding his estrangement from his family.
Regardless, Holly seemingly continues to be inspired by his wife Nicola, with the similarities between Holly and Nicola’s social media posts quite striking.

From posing in sheer tights and a leather coat in the exact same way Nicola did three months before, to sharing a bathroom selfie last week that featured her shirtless, tattooed husband in a set up eerily similar to the one Nicola staged of her and Brooklyn in 2023 – it seems Holly has been paying close attention to her childhood friend’s wife.
Last year, Holly showed off her figure in a sizzling black bikini on holiday – in a snap almost identical, even in pose, to a swimwear snap Nicola posted in 2023.
They also share a love of racer jackets – with Holly donning one for this year’s Formula 1 while Nicola famously wore Victoria Beckham’s iconic 2001 leather number in 2024.
Holly looked cosy when she posed with Posh at her hen do at Soho Farmhouse in November, looking every inch the bride-to-be in a white dress and seemingly taking the role of daughter-in-law.
The photo was reminiscent of when Nicola beamed with her mother-in-law in happier times in 2024.
