Brooklyn Beckham attracted plenty of attention during Paris Fashion Week after arriving at the Balenciaga show alongside his wife, Nicola Peltz.
The 27-year-old eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham attended the fashion event just one day before his mother was due to present her own collection. But it wasn’t only Brooklyn’s presence at Balenciaga that caught people’s attention — his noticeably changed appearance also stood out in the photographs.
Brooklyn appeared in front of the cameras with longer, grown-out hair, with the first visible gray strands running through it.
His outfit was deliberately relaxed. He wore a white shirt with a loosely knotted black tie, adding a leather jacket and cargo trousers to complete the casual look.
Nicola Peltz appeared beside him in an entirely black ensemble. The actress paired a black top with a low-rise skirt and elegant stiletto heels, creating a sleeker contrast to her husband’s more laid-back styling.
Brooklyn and Nicola remained close throughout their appearance. They held hands while facing the photographers and willingly stopped to pose together for pictures.
Their arrival in Paris comes amid continuing attention surrounding Brooklyn’s relationship with his famous family. The eldest Beckham son has reportedly stayed away from family celebrations for almost two years.
Tensions became even more public in January, when Brooklyn released a strongly worded statement in which he distanced himself from what he described as the “Beckham brand” and publicly criticized his parents.
While Brooklyn appeared at Balenciaga with Nicola, Victoria Beckham was focused on preparations for her own upcoming presentation. Her fashion show traditionally ranks among the closely watched events on the Fashion Week calendar.
This time, however, Brooklyn created his own unexpected talking point before his mother’s show even began — with his longer hairstyle and increasingly noticeable gray strands giving the 27-year-old a distinctly different appearance.
