An interesting twist emerged with Nicola’s wedding dress. According to Brooklyn, Victoria Beckham canceled the gown’s production just before the wedding. As a result, we never got to see Nicola’s custom bridal dress by Victoria Beckham—ironically, it was set to be the first ever bespoke wedding gown in VB brand history. Still, the bride did wear her main ceremony dress. The look was overseen by stylist Leslie Fremar. A full year went into creating the dress: ongoing correspondence with Valentino’s couture team, two trips to the brand’s Rome headquarters, and two fittings in the U.S. Among her other wedding looks were a custom Dior suit by Kim Jones, and a made-to-order Versace gown worn for the reception—one that could have easily replaced the original Victoria Beckham design. But here’s the inconsistency: how could Victoria have canceled the dress at the last minute if Nicola’s primary gown was developed over a year with Valentino’s atelier?
