It was date night on the red carpet for Nicola Peltz and her husband Brooklyn Beckham. The pair attended the Kinéo Awards held during the 2026 Venice Film Festival on Sept. 5. Nicola was honored with a rising star award for her work as an actress, producer, and budding filmmaker.
The “Lola” star was dressed in a look hailing from Balenciaga that transformed her into something out of a fairy tale. The garment was a deep shade of purple, almost eggplant, and featured an asymmetric neckline that draped over a single shoulder, transitioning into a thin midsection with cutouts on either side. A sliver of fabric connected the bodice to a low-rise bottom featuring a fitted waist and voluminous skirt equipped with a train that trailed behind Nicola as she walked.

The designer piece seemed to be made of a mix of tulle and some other opaque fabric that was mottled with darker accents for dimension. A veil was then strategically placed in Nicola’s hair over a bun, made of the same fabric as her dress. The fabric draped beautifully down her back, seemingly melding into her dress to create an ethereal vision. The romantic silhouette, especially in that shade of purple, was eye-catching, certainly a standout fashion moment on the red carpet that night.
Nicola’s hair was styled in a half-up, half-down style. Half of her hair was fixed into a bun at the back of her head, while the rest was left to cascade down her spine, eclipsed under her veil. The focus was placed on her outfit, which meant makeup was minimal, with a focus on clean skin and a flushed complexion. A nude glossy lip rounded out her look.

“Thank you so much for this immense honour. To receive an award at the Venice Film Festival is something I will carry with me for the rest of my career,” Nicola said as she accepted the award, via The Sun. “My family are my everything. My mum, dad, (brothers) Diesel and Brad, and Brooklyn, thank you. You always believe in me. To have your support is the reason I can reach for the stars in the first place.”

UNDER-FIRE FIFA BOSS GIANNI INFANTINO TO SEEK RE-ELECTION DESPITE CALLS TO RESIGN

FIFA President Gianni Infantino plans to seek his fourth and final term in next year’s election, despite the outrage sparked by his now-shelved plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors. “Nothing has changed,” a spokesman for football’s governing body confirmed on Sunday, referring to an announcement Infantino made back in April.
Gianni Infantino will stand in next March's FIFA presidential election, despite the backlash over his now-abandoned plan to bring private investment into the World Cup, football's global governing body announced Sunday.
"The FIFA President announced in April that he will stand for re-election in 2027," a FIFA spokesperson said. "Of course, nothing has changed. Mr Infantino will be standing for re-election."
The 56-year-old Swiss has taken a pummelling since the announcement in late July of his short-lived FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan to bring private investment into FIFA events.
But now for the first time since the plan became public, FIFA has reiterated Infantino's intention to run for a fourth and final term in next year's elections.
Should he be re-elected, he will continue to serve as head of world football until 2031.
Infantino is in Poland for the Women's Under-20 World Cup, but refused to answer queries about his future when questioned by journalists on Saturday.
Only candidate
European body UEFA has accused Infantino of "criminal mismanagement" over the scheme and was the ringleader of the initial fightback to the announcement, including threatening to boycott all FIFA competitions, including the men's and women's World Cups, if it was not shelved.
If UEFA withdrew its threat to boycott FIFA tournaments on August 27 – ahead of the Women's Under-20 World Cup in Poland – it remains absolute in its conviction that Infantino must depart his role.
The European body has filed requests in the USA for the disclosure of documents related to the plan from FIFA and partners.
If successful in gaining access to the documents, UEFA had said it intends to lodge a legal complaint in Switzerland, saying it has been assured the case would meet the requirements to be heard in a Swiss court.
It has also found solid support from North American body CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in its actions against Infantino.
The three confederations have kept up the pressure and collaborated on a no-holds-barred joint letter issued last month.
"Leadership in football is not a possession. It is not about holding – or demanding – power to be held," they wrote.
CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani is widely seen as the likeliest challenger to Infantino – UEFA boss Aleksander Ceferin has ruled himself out.
Montagliani, a FIFA vice-president, had long been regarded as a close ally of Infantino, but there were signs, even before he distanced himself over the now-scrapped plan to allow private investment into World Cups, that he viewed FIFA's purpose somewhat differently to the Swiss.
But Infantino is not without friends – 2034 World Cup hosts Saudi Arabia came out in support last month, with African football's governing body CAF and South America's CONMEBOL supportive, too.
Earlier in September, FIFA also accused UEFA of a "smear campaign" and a "fishing expedition" against Infantino.
As the only declared candidate so far for the election due to take place in Rabat, Infantino will need a simple majority of votes from the 211 federations affiliated to FIFA to extend his term of office, which began in 2016 and was renewed in 2023.
Candidate nominations for next year's election must be submitted by November 18.
