Nicola Peltz cozies up to mother-in-law Victoria Beckham at star-studded Lola premiere

Nicola Peltz Beckham cozied up to her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, at the star-studded Lola premiere in Los Angeles on Saturday at the Regency Bruin Theatre. 

The Bates Motel actress, 29 – who recently resolved a ‘feud’ with the fashion designer, 49, over that wedding dress drama – joined other celebrities at the event, including husband Brooklyn and BFF Selena Gomez. 

Peltz made a milestone by making her directorial debut with the upcoming drama titled, Lola – which is slated to be released on February 9.  

After their reconciliation, Nicola and Victoria brushed aside the past and paused for an assortment of snaps together while both wearing outfits from the Victoria Beckham collection. 

The budding star affectionately draped her right arm over her mother-in-law’s shoulder, and Victoria was seen grabbing hold of her hand with her own. 

Victoria also wrote a sweet message on Instagram: ‘we could not be more proud of you! Congratulations on your incredible film, Lola. officially in theatres February 9th! Kisses xx’

 The stylish pair were also dressed to impress for the special evening, with Nicola donning a white, corset top that had thick straps that wrapped around her shoulders. 

She also wore a pair of low-waisted, white trousers and slipped into a pair of white shoes that were partially concealed by the hem of the pants. 

The beauty opted for minimal accessories to allow the outfit to be the main focal point, and donned a mini ear cuff as well as a few rings that offered a flashy flare. 

Her locks were parted in the middle and pulled back into a chic up do, preventing any loose strands from falling onto her face. 

Peltz opted for a classical makeup look, which comprised of a layer of mascara to her lashes as well as a gold, shimmering shadow around her eyes. 

A light pink blush was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow, while a nude-colored, matte tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. 

Victoria also made a statement of her own wearing a pair of dark navy slacks that contained a black trim on the sides. 

The star – who is currently married to David Beckham – also opted to wear a matching, double-breasted blazer which was secured with a button at the front. 

The designer slipped into a pair of closed-toed, black heels to coincide with the color scheme of the look, while also wearing dainty, gold anklets. 

She further accessorized the ensemble for the premiere by wearing a silver bracelet on her right wrist, as well as a gold watch on her other wrist. 

Her long, brunette locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. 

After pausing for a few solo pictures upon arriving to the venue, the Spice Girls singer also held a small smile as she celebrated her daughter-in-law’s new film. 

Nicola was alo accompanied by her husband, Brooklyn Beckham – whom she tied the knot with in 2022. 

He was dapper in a classic, black suit and chose to not wear a dress shirt underneath the blazer. The model completed the outfit by donning a pair of sleek, black shoes. 

The lovebirds also took time to pose for a quick photo session, and at one point, were seen sharing sweet gazes towards each other. 

The screening comes shortly after it was revealed late last month that both Victoria and Nicola put their differences aside and made up over $2-per-pop vodka cocktails and Sunday afternoons playing Peltz’s favorite memory game named Fish Bowl. 

Sources say they are now closer than ever thanks to spending Sunday afternoons giggling together over the 5.5 per cent proof tipple which contains 196 calories per serving.

Speaking for the first time about his mom and wife’s new close relationship, Brooklyn says they bonded over drinking cans of Vodka Snapper which is a mix of the spirit and fruit flavored iced tea.

‘We love Sunday roasts. Me and my dad share a bottle of wine. My mum and Nicola share vodka Snapple,’ he revealed.

‘We don’t really watch TV – we just talk and just have fun. It’s just about being in the moment, having a drink, eating food and enjoying each other’s company.’

‘We sometimes play games. My wife introduced my family to this game called Fish Bowl which we love to play at gatherings.’

‘My mum and dad really like it, we played it a couple of weeks ago when we were together.’ Brooklyn is said to be ‘thrilled and relieved’ that his beloved mother, who turns 50 in April and wife have buried the hatchet.

One source says that ‘time was a great healer’ but now the two women are ‘super close.’

Speaking of how they are now all friends, Brooklyn adds in an interview with Grazia magazine: ‘Me and my family are really close, and my wife and her family are really close.’

‘Mine are in between London and Miami, which is really good. Thank God for the football team, so I get to see them as much as I can. We travel over to London sometimes, they come out here [to LA] and we sometimes meet in Miami.’ 

Beckham and Peltz fell out after the actress assumed that her mother-in-law-to-be would be designing her wedding dress but she did not have the time to do so.

Instead, the bride wore Valentino and later Nicola later gave an interview insisting that ditching Victoria’s offer was not designed to be a slight against her new mother-in-law.

‘I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,’ she said.

However, the past is now behind the family and they are now celebrating Nicola’s new milestone by making her directorial debut with the film titled, Lola. 

She also wrote the screenplay and took on a leading role in the project, which took nearly six years to make.

The premise is, per IMDB, ‘Lola James works to save enough money to get her little brother, Arlo, out of their toxic home. Arlo keeps her hopeful, until one tragic night, when her whole world gets uprooted. From that moment on, nothing will ever be the same.’

However, Nicola – who is an heiress – has received backlash for making a film about a poverty-stricken 19-year-old. She has also been criticized for unfairly using her elite background to get her pet project made.

A trailer was released online last week, triggering a fierce backlash. 

One user posted on Instagram: ‘I wish rich people like yourself would stay away from trying to tell stories like this… You have no idea what this character’s reality is like.

‘I find it offensive to the working-class women who are truly living this reality that have to see a billionaire indulge themselves into a dream acting role.’

Another wrote: ‘This project was funded through privilege.’ People on X, formerly Twitter, were just as scathing, with one calling it ‘poverty porn… just an escalating series of the worst clichés imaginable.’ 

For Lola, she managed to secure the services of 28-time Grammy-winning producer Quincy Jones, the man behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller album, to help with the soundtrack.
