Nicola Peltz has paid tribute to Victoria Beckham after being forced to miss out on her 50th birthday dinner in Mayfair on Saturday evening.

The fashion designer celebrated the milestone with an assortment of celebrity friends and family members at the upmarket members-only club Oswalds.

Hollywood legend Tom Cruise, Jason Statham, and all four of Victoria’s former Spice Girls bandmates were in attendance, but Nicola, 29, was forced to miss out after her grandmother fell ill.

Paying tribute to her mother-in-law, affectionately referred to as ‘mil’, she wrote: ‘Happy birthday to my beautiful mil @victoriabeckham.

‘I’m so sad not to be there to celebrate you and hug you! Sending all my love from me and my naunni! I miss you all so much!’

The actress – whose latest film Lola has been savaged by critics – had previously wished Victoria a happy birthday after she turned 50 on April 17.

‘Happy birthday to my beautiful mil @victoriabeckham i love you so much and love being your dance partner forever’, she wrote on INstagram, to which Victoria responded: ‘Love you so much!!!!!’

Rumors of a rift between Nicola and her mother-in-law surfaced following the actress’s lavish wedding in April 2022.

Speculation about tensions arose when reports suggested that Nicola declined to wear one of Victoria’s own designs, instead choosing outfits from Valentino, Christian Dior, and Versace.

As the wedding plans were underway, insiders alleged Victoria was displeased with Nicola’s reluctance to involve her in the plans for the lavish affair.

Reports suggested that the Beckhams took a secondary role on the significant day, which allegedly further upset Victoria. A source revealed, “The top table was all Peltzs, and it really felt as though the Beckhams were not at the forefront…”

‘There was a feeling that the wedding was all about the Peltz family, as you can imagine, as it was their house and their daughter and their son making the speeches.’

Rumours of fall out between Nicola and her mother-in-law emerged after the actress’s multi-million dollar wedding in April 2022, but those claims have since been put to bed

Nicola later confirmed that the rumors had originated from her decision not to wear Victoria’s design. Although she denied any “feud,” she explained that Victoria’s atelier simply hadn’t had enough time to create the dress. She emphasized, “No family is perfect.”

Nicola said: ‘It’s not a feud! I keep seeing everywhere that word, ‘feud, feud, feud!?’ I mean, maybe they picked up on something? And now they’re labelling it feud?’

‘I think it all started, and I’ve said this before, because I didn’t end up wearing Victoria’s wedding dress, but the real truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mom got to make that for me!…

‘And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn’t end up wearing it. But I, truthfully, was really excited to wear her dress. It makes me sad when I read things that people say I was never planning on wearing it. That’s just not true.’
