VB or not VB? Nicola’s awful wedding dress dilemma...

WEDDINGS are a nightmare for the mother of the groom. Especially if she happens to be a world-famous dress designer like Victoria Beckham. Wedding watchers have been wondering for months why VB didn’t design the bridal gown for Nicola Peltz when she married Brooklyn Beckham earlier this year. Apart from anything else, it would be very out of character for a Beckham not to maximise and monetise such an event.

So what happened? Nicola told Variety magazine that, um, she was going to wear a Posh dress but that, at one stage,

Victoria ‘realised that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress.’ Nicola added: ‘She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it.’ Hmm. That sounds like the Posh wedding dress actually existed at some point, and I am cruelly imagining a kind of one-shouldered white nightie with a droopy hem and bad boobage. No wonder Nicola went to Valentino Haute Couture instead. What smart bride would go for VB when she could have Valentino? It’s like choosing ‘chef’ Brooklyn over Escoffier to make your steamed spinach lunch.
