Brooklyn & Nicola Peltz Beckham’s Shocking Met Gala Snub—The Real Reason They Skipped

On the first Monday of May, during the 2025 Met Gala, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his spouse, Nicola Peltz Beckham, did not make an appearance.

It appears that David Beckham and Victoria Beckham’s eldest son had no intention of gracing the renowned stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 5, alongside his wife who he has been married to for three years.

According to a reliable source, it was never verified that Nicola and Brooklyn would go to the Met. Instead, this insider hinted that they might have opted to spend time with David during his birthday week or weekend, rather than attending the event.

The couple was conspicuously absent from both events: the grand charity gala, which was jointly hosted by A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, as well as the soccer star’s birthday party the previous evening.

As a dedicated follower, I got a peek into the May 2nd festivities straight from David and Victoria Beckham’s side, where their sons Romeo Beckham (22) and Cruz Beckham (20), along with their 13-year-old daughter Harper Beckham, were in tow. Notably, for this special occasion, we all donned matching navy ensembles.

In a May 4 Instagram post, Victoria, age 51, wrote, “Making cherished moments together with loved ones,” as she tagged the children in the photo. “We adore each and every one of you.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but notice that some of my favorite style icons, like Brooklyn (age 26) and Nicola (30), weren’t the only ones missing from this year’s Met Gala. It was surprising to see the absence of basketball legend LeBron James, who was supposed to co-chair the event, as well as fashion titans Taylor Swift, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Naomi Campbell.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy as Sarah Jessica Parker was immersed in her work, missing out on the opportunity to gracefully glide down the red carpet in New York City. Meanwhile, the basketball star found himself at home, nursing a knee injury, and the British model lamented her absence at the gala, expressing her sorrow at missing such an event.

I was thrilled to receive an invitation for tonight’s major event, but unfortunately I won’t be able to attend,” Naomi expressed in a May 5 Instagram post. “Though I can’t physically join you, my spirit will be there with all of you, carried by the legacy of my cherished friend, the late Andre Leon Talley. His powerful presence, his vision that fashion is an art form, and his unwavering belief have significantly influenced what we see at this year’s Met Gala.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t wait to feast my eyes on the dazzling ensembles that these stars unveiled on the iconic steps of the Met! Continue for an extravaganza of fashion and glamour you won’t want to miss.
