Nicola Peltz Beckhamappreciates her bond with mother-in-law,Victoria Beckham, more than ever.
Since her wedding toBrooklyn Beckhamin April 2022, the actor and director 29, has been shutting down rumors about her alleged feud with the designer and former Spice Girls pop star. (Internet rumors alluded to a so-called rift between the two stemming from Nicola choosing to wear a Valentino bridal gown, not a Victoria Beckham design, although Nicola has confirmed the decisionsimply came down to logistics.)
In a newcover storyforByrdie, released on Thursday, Nicola is proving to the world once again that there’s only love between the pair.
“I love her, and she’s such an incredible, successful woman,” she says of the singer turned designer, 49. “How lucky am I that I get to ask her for advice? I’m blessed!”

When speaking to PEOPLE at theLolapremiere, Nicola gushed over Victoria and her fashion expertise, as she wore a custom Victoria Beckham bustier and pants for the event marking herdirectorial debut.
“She is a genius.I am so honoredto be able to wear this tonight. I feel so, like, business but sexy, and she’s a genius,” Nicola said of her look and Victoria, who supported her daughter-in-law at the premiere.
Repping a family label was entirely her choice too, considering the fact that she doesn’t have a stylist. She told PEOPLE that she doesn’t even need one because she has her chic mom, Claudia Heffner Peltz, and Victoria to assist in the fashion department.

Elsewherein herByrdieinterview,Nicola opened up about the importance of surrounding herself with family.
“Family is everything to me, and I mean that with my whole heart,” she shared. “I’m so close to mine and Brooklyn’s family and I think there’s no better feeling than knowing you have a strong support system. It’s such a blessing, and I never take it for granted.”
Having a shoulder to lean on (or a few) is important when you’re in the spotlight.
Nicola tellsByrdieshe knew she wanted a female director for the film, she she “wanted that feminine touch and a woman’s perspective.”
“But then people were [suggesting] I should direct because I know the characters better than anyone else," she adds. “I always wanted to direct, but never in a million years did I think I’d do it in something I wrote and acted in. I just jumped in and did it.”
