I just read that Brooklyn Beckham is getting married. I thought he would be about 15 years old, no he's 23 😁

@OverByYer

I like her wedding gown and the gloves. The stripper shoes in the other photo are grim
The wedding shoes are similar, they look like satin DMs, really inappropriate with such an elegant dress, and that pains me to write, the dress is lovely!

Apparently the Peltz family gave BB the diamond chain he is wearing, so classy, but I expect he will get lots of wear out of it.

I bet David's Mum is loving the photos of Hilary's beige control pants on full view under her fake Versace dress. Revenge is a dish best eaten cold, or enjoyed at your grandson's tacky wedding when the Daily Mail are watching.

Of course no one told her she was showing at the back, way too much fun to let the photos tell their own story.

ElenaSt · 11/04/2022 09:30

The dress is lovely but it looks like it was meant to be strapless and the straps have been clumsily added on afterwards.

I do like that she hasn’t added inflatable boobs to her figure or if she has they are only small ones, but the surgery to her face is a huge transformation.

Why does Brooklyn always have bum fluff on his face, he looks like a seedy waiter not the groom.

Not keen on her hair, too yellow and I don’t like the roots but the style suits her. Her make up was nice.

Neverafrownwithgoldenbrown · 11/04/2022 09:37

She was so beautiful before the facial surgery, especially with her dark hair, it's a shame she felt the need to do that

Candleabra · 11/04/2022 09:38

I had no idea that Nicola had had that amount of plastic surgery. It is an astonishing difference.

Re Harper. Victoria always seems to dress her beautifully and as a little girl. She also seems to let her wear real little girl clothes for comfort( in stark contrast to her designs for women) and just be. Sadly ime of 10 year olds these days Harper looks more her age. There was a pic of Amanda Holder’s 10 year old recently. Plastered in make up with done eye brows just for a day at Disney. Her 16 year old who I get is model material looks so done and groomed. I don’t get why teen girls can’t ever just schlep up for anything in comfy trainers minus a face full of make up.

I liked her dress it had a 50s silhouette vibe.

Brooklyn though looks like he's at his 6th form prom night.
He has no gravitas which even some young men can carry.

He though still looks like an awkward graceless 16 year old.
If it was his prom you'd think: ahh cute handsome boy.

As it's his wedding it feels odd.

MalagaNights · 11/04/2022 10:01

I agree about Harper.

I wrongly imagined that once she had a DD, VB would make a her a fashionista mini me.

But she always seems like a normal happy little girl wearing the kind of stuff girls choose.

PaperTyger · 11/04/2022 10:20

Harper looks like she's wearing makeup.

Isn't all the car stuff odd?
How do the Beckham's arrange which cars they Will use?
Arriving in different flash cars but their family having to get an Uber🤣🤣 showing us they are down to earth!

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 11/04/2022 10:25

I agree with the pp who pointed out that Brooklyn Beckam looks like he needs a close shave and a vigorous shampoo, no matter how expensive the clothes are that he's dressed in. It's his upper lip in particular that seems to stand out.

I suppose it could be his 'edgy' look, to go with his accent. It's how Guy Ritchie, a moderately successful film producer from England, delighted global superstar and billionaire Madonna sufficiently for her to marry him for a while.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 11/04/2022 10:27

I've just realised that I can't spell 'Beckham' without help.

Flows · 11/04/2022 10:36

I’ve seen photos of David’s mum, wondering if his sisters were there - anyone seen photos?

ElizabethG81 · 11/04/2022 10:45

I think David's parents have been divorced for about 20 years, and his dad remarried last Christmas, so I don't think "revenge" would really be on his mum's mind.

Skiptheheartsandflowers · 11/04/2022 10:50

I assume the full set of official photos will go onto the Vogue website so the Beckham sisters will likely be in those.

Hilary made a shocking choice of dress. That and the bag and pants spelled disaster.

Like the bride's dress from the photos on here. Maybe the shoes were ones that gave her height but were wearable for hours? Isn't that why strippers wear them?

If Harper is wearing makeup, it's not obvious to me.

You’re spending time with the wrong teen girls! My nieces live in baggy hoodies and leggings/joggers on their way to and from various sports clubs. My sister says all their friends dress that way too.

Cantonet · 11/04/2022 10:55

Am I the only one finding this whole shebang, ostentation & money thoroughly distasteful in today's climate.
Do either of them have a career?
Or do they live off the back of mum & dad.
At least offset the sheer ' let them eat cake vibes' by asking in lieu of wedding presents money for charity - say for Ukraine or the Red Cross.

Motherdare · 11/04/2022 11:04

I didn’t like the bridesmaids dresses at all. I am quite traditional and like to see young girls dressing age-appropriately… but this style of dress only really works on very little girls.

I think Harper and the other bridesmaids look like “Gert” at Monica and Chandler’s wedding.

🙈 I know! I do not mean that’s they are heavy etc just that you lose the cutesy flower-girl look by about age 8/9 and need a slightly more grown-up dress.

PaperTyger · 11/04/2022 11:09

@SpinningTheSeedsOfLove

🤣🤣 Vigourous shampoo 🤣

Agree it's the Vibe of egdy London Brit...

PaperTyger · 11/04/2022 11:21

Oh lord I've Just seen some of his cooking effort.
Spaghetti Bolognese!
Oh no it's so cringy! And the two of them together and she's too ditsy to crack egg's of course She is so she can't crack them in the bowl!

They did ask guests to donate to Ukraine.

@SpinningTheSeedsOfLove

Isn't the question really why in the world would the 27 year old enormously wealthy actor and heiress Nicola Peltz want anything to do with the Beckhams?
Yeah, I can just imagine the conversation between billionaire Nelson and his wife when their beloved DD announced she was going to marry the 23-year-old DS of a footballer and a former pop-singer. I bet that pre-nup is iron-clad 🤣
Coffeeholix · 11/04/2022 11:35

It’s a very odd match. I hope they’re happy but something about this whole event seems a little off.

Cantonet · 11/04/2022 11:47

Yes fair enough - I'd missed that they asked guests to donate to Ukraine.
But the money involved in this wedding is still absolutely sickening.
A diamond necklace for Brooklyn worth how much?
A Valentino dress?
A electric v. Expensive car as a wedding present.
It's all absolutely tacky & distasteful.
Especially bearing in mind British individuals are going into major food/fuel poverty at the moment.
I admire the fact they appear to all be a very close family but this just seems a minor mis-step for the Beckham family PR team.

No, you're not. I was thinking the same. Obviously it's their money and they can spend it how they want but it was a really distasteful flaunting of wealth considering everything that's happening at the moment. And the whole thing was just so tacky, from the amount of money spent, to the magazines fawning over them to the whole look and style of the wedding. I wonder what the dress code was because most of the outfits were awful, and wouldn't look out of place on the cast of Eastenders. To quote the wonderful Dolly Parton, 'it's takes a lot of money to look that cheap'.
