Meet Nicola Peltz Beckham—Actor, Model & Newest Member Of Britain’s Most Famous (Non-Royal) Family

Yes, you’ve definitely seen her before.

After formally adding the familiar moniker ‘Beckham’ to her name, it’s fair to say Nicola Peltz is at the centre of the world’s attention.

The 27-year-old married 23-year-old Brooklyn Beckham in a stunning Palm Springs ceremony in April, held at her family’s own estate. For the big day, Peltz unsurprisingly went all out wearing a stunning Valentino gown featuring a floor-scraping train and long lace gloves with a beautiful white veil.

Of course, Peltz isn’t new to embracing the finer things in life—she’s the heiress to her parents eyewatering fortune, one that provided the backdrop to the ultimate nepotism wedding of the year.

But her family’s wealth isn’t the reason Peltz is well-known. In fact, you’ve probably come across her numerous times via her real claim to fame—acting.

Here, we get to know the newest addition to Britain’s most famous family (not withstanding the royal family themselves).
