Nicola Peltz Beckham made a striking appearance at the 83rd Venice Film Festival, accepting her Rising Star Award and later gracing the red carpet in a custom Balenciaga couture gown. The actress, 31, was accompanied by her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, 27, as they attended the screening for the film "It Will Happen Tonight."
Peltz's custom cobalt blue gown featured a one-shouldered cut-out design and a flowing train, drawing significant attention as she posed for photographs. She complemented the striking attire by keeping accessories minimal. Brooklyn Beckham, an aspiring chef, wore a black tuxedo and was seen offering public support to his wife, including assisting with her gown's train and sharing a kiss on her cheek.
Earlier in the day, Peltz accepted her award in the gardens of Casa Cinema Giovani. She wore a black dress and emerald and diamond drop earrings for the ceremony. During her acceptance speech, she expressed gratitude to her family, including her husband, stating, "To have your support is the reason I can reach to the stars in the first place." She also acknowledged Faye Dunaway, a co-star in "Prima," calling her an inspiration.
Peltz's career began in "Deck the Halls" in 2006. She has since appeared in "The Last Airbender" and "Transformers: Age of Extinction." More recently, she has moved into producing through her label, Bunny Films. Her latest independent film, "Lola," had limited distribution. She is also working on the indie drama "Prima," which also features Dunaway and is directed by the Morelli Brothers.
Peltz's preparation for her role as a prima ballerina in "Prima" involved four months of intensive training and a strict diet, leading to a weight loss of approximately 45 pounds (under 100 pounds). This weight loss recently became a topic of online discussion, prompting Brooklyn Beckham to defend his wife on Instagram, stating, "Don't ever talk about my wife. She's absolutely beautiful and you should never comment on a woman's body. It's disgraceful."
Attendees at the awards ceremony included Peltz's parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz, and her brother Bradley. Nelson Peltz is a prominent businessman. The event also honored Faye Dunaway with a lifetime achievement award. Peltz's marriage to Brooklyn Beckham, son of David and Victoria Beckham, has been a subject of public interest, particularly following reports of a family rift.
