Nicola Peltz Beckham Channels Victoria Beckham With Bob Transformation
Originally appeared on E! Online
Nicola Peltz Beckham is spicing up her life.
After all, her new ‘do is certainly one mother-in-law Victoria Beckham would approve of. The Bates Motel alum, who is married to Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, debuted a sleek new bob hairdo in a photo posted on Instagram Oct. 21. She captioned the pic, taken outside a gas station, writing, “Passenger princess.”
Nicola’s hair transformation seemed to channel her mother-in-law, whose iconic ‘90s bob was a key element of her signature Posh Spice look during her tenure as a member of the Spice Girls alongside Mel B, Emma Bunton, Melanie C and Geri Halliwell.
It’s not the first time the 29-year-old—who married Brooklyn, 25, in 2022—has tapped into girl power. In March, the Transformers: Age of Extinction star playfully danced on a boat alongside the fashion designer to the tune of the British girl group’s 1996 single “Say You’ll Be There,” with both women wearing large bunny ears as Victoria covered her mouth to contain her giggles.

“Love you so much,” the Spice World star affectionately captioned the video, to which her daughter-in-law replied, “I love you so much!!”
While Victoria—who also shares sons Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 19, as well as daughter Harper, 13, with husband David Beckham—has moved away from music in recent years to focus on her successful fashion career, she’s made it clear that friendship never ends. At her star-studded 50th birthday bash in April, she held a mini-reunion with her former bandmates as the quintet enthusiastically performed their hit “Stop.”
“Best night ever,” Victoria captioned the social media clip, which was shot by her husband. “Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much!”
The fivesome kept the party going with a touching acoustic rendition of their song “Mama,” accompanied by Cruz on guitar. He shared a snippet of the sweet performance on Instagram writing, “You’re welcome….”
