The Beckham family made a glamorous, unified appearance at the wedding of Holly Ramsay and Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty on Saturday, providing a striking display of support for their close friends amidst a backdrop of simmering family tensions.
Fashion Takes Centre Stage at Bath Abbey Nuptials
Fashion designer Victoria Beckham, 51, was the picture of elegance as she arrived at Bath Abbey for the December 27 ceremony. She wore a stunning floor-length teal satin gown from her own eponymous label, valued at £1,290. The chic ensemble featured a plunging neckline, long sleeves, delicate pleated waist detailing, and a stylish front skirt split.
She accessorised her look with a silver diamond bracelet, oversized black sunglasses, and a matching silver clutch. For warmth against the winter chill, she carried what appeared to be a brown faux-fur coat or shawl.
Following in her mother's fashionable footsteps, 14-year-old Harper Beckham appeared to wear a black satin dress from Victoria's collection, which retails for £1,190. She paired it with a cropped black fluffy jacket and a luxurious Bottega Veneta clutch worth £3,100, completing the outfit with black strappy heels.
A Unified Front and a Notable Absence
The Beckhams presented a united front, with Sir David, 50, looking dapper in a brown double-breasted coat over a black-and-white tuxedo. He was accompanied by sons Romeo, 23, in a brown tweed coat, and Cruz, 20, in a grey tweed coat, both layered over formal wear.
However, one family member was conspicuously missing from the gathering: eldest son Brooklyn, 26. He is believed to be spending the festive period in America with his wife Nicola Peltz's family at their Palm Beach mansion. His absence meant avoiding a potentially awkward encounter with his parents, with whom he is reportedly in an open conflict.
Sources close to the nuptials indicated that Brooklyn, once a central figure in Ramsay-Beckham gatherings, 'will of course be missed'. His absence also highlights a reported cooling in his once-close friendship with the Ramsays' eldest son, Jack.
Undercurrents of Family Drama and Estrangement
The wedding's lead-up has been marked by drama, including a bitter family feud that saw Adam Peaty's parents disinvited. Similarly, the Beckhams' own family rift cast a shadow.
Recent reports suggest a deep estrangement between Brooklyn and his parents. Contrary to speculation that David and Victoria unfollowed their son on Instagram, younger brother Cruz claimed the couple had actually been 'blocked' by Brooklyn. A source described this as a sign of his 'complete estrangement' from the family.
'David and Victoria will never stop loving Brooklyn,' a source close to the couple stated. 'They are devastated at this fall out... it appears that Brooklyn has blocked them to show them that's it, this is final.'
Despite the underlying tensions, the Beckhams' turnout for the Ramsay-Peaty wedding was a powerful show of solidarity, with Victoria and Harper's impeccable fashion choices ensuring all eyes were on them as they celebrated the couple's special day.
