Victoria Beckham looked radiant as she left her £5million superyacht in Miami on Monday, alongside her husband David and children Romeo and Harper ahead of their eldest son Brooklyn’s wedding to Nicola Peltz next week.

The fashion designer, 47, flashed her legs in a figure-hugging brown mini dress which she layered beneath a black cardigan while framing her face with oversized sunglasses on top of the 93.5ft vessel, named Seven, on Monday.

She tied her chocolate tresses into a tousled up-do and painted her lips a dark shade of raspberry brown.

The former professional footballer, 46, kept things casual in a grey hoodie and unmissable green swim shorts, as he chatted to his son, 19, and daughter, 10, on top of the 93.5ft vessel, named Seven.

Earlier on, David carried a dapper navy suit featuring the Inter Miami CF logo – which he is the current president of – and wore a dark grey T-shirt and cream shorts while donning a backwards black baseball cap.

Romeo rolled up his light grey joggers to his shins, while cutting a mint hoodie from Puma – of which he is ambassador – and stored his essentials in a charcoal backpack. 

Harper, who was inseparable from her friend throughout the day out, recycled a navy sweatshirt featuring a motif of her mum’s face during her days as a Spice Girls bandmember.

The former Manchester United player named his yacht after his iconic shirt number he wore for six years while playing for Manchester United, while he also wore the number seven for international games for England. 

Seven also has a special meaning for the David and Victoria as it is also the middle name of their daughter Harper.

The craft can accommodate up to 10 guests in five staterooms, with four crew members on board ready to serve the famous family’s every need.

The yacht has a cruising speed of 20 knots and goes up to a top speed of 30 knots, while it can travel a distance of 300 nautical miles without the need to refuel.

The stunning vessel boasts an extended swim platform, beach deck and has two engines which generate 2,400 horsepower each.

The sun-filled outing comes after the family jetted to Miami together with other family members, including Victoria’s niece Libby Adams, ahead of Brooklyn’s wedding.

Preparations for Brooklyn’s £3million ceremony and party at the Peltz family mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, are well underway ahead of next week.

Brooklyn, 23, is understood to have signed a prenuptial agreement with his heiress bride-to-be Nicola. The £380 million fortune of Brooklyn’s parents is dwarfed by the estimated £1.3 billion wealth of Miss Peltz’s financier father Nelson.

As wedding preparations are underway, Nicola recruited Leslie Fremar – a stylist who has worked with Hollywood A-listers Demi Moore and Charlize Theron – to help choose her dress.

The pair travelled to the headquarters of Valentino in Rome and Nicola has confirmed her gown has been designed by the fashion house’s Pierpaolo Piccioli.

‘Nicola trusts Leslie implicitly and, while her dress is being made by Valentino, Leslie is the person she has turned to help with how she will accessorise and how she will have her hair and make-up,’ a source said.

The wedding – described by friends as ‘Miami society meets British celebrity’ – is expected to be attended by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, actress Eva Longoria and former footballer Phil Neville. Victoria’s Spice Girls bandmate Melanie Brown – Mel B – has confirmed she is going.

Brooklyn’s godfather Sir Elton John will be absent due to the rescheduling of his Yellow Brick Road tour, but his other godfather, Dave Gardner, will be there.

There have also been reports that American football legend Tom Brady will be among the guests, possibly with his wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, but speculation that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could attend are wide of the mark. Brooklyn’s younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, will be best men, while Harper will be a bridesmaid.

Nicola’s maternal grandmother will be her maid of honour.

Brooklyn’s father David has no formal role, but friends say he has been tasked with ensuring that all the Beckham men look their best.

Two weeks ago he met his father Ted and father-in-law Tony Adams to buy suits, and captioned a photograph with the words: ‘Creating special memories, wedding plans under way and the dads are all suited and booted.’ The couple have confirmed the marriage will be a Jewish ceremony.

‘It’s strange, because the more wedding meetings that we have, the more real it feels,’ Brooklyn told Vogue magazine recently. ‘I’m excited. I’m wearing a yarmulke [a Jewish head covering].’

The wedding will take place at the Peltz family’s £76 million, 44,000 sq ft beach house. Nelson and his wife Claudia also have a 27-bedroom mansion near New York which boasts an ice rink.

Brooklyn and Miss Peltz met in 2017 and began dating two years later. Announcing their engagement on Instagram in July 2020, Brooklyn wrote: ‘Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes. I am the luckiest man in the world.’

His fiancée wrote: ‘I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life by your side. Your love is the most precious gift.’

Elsewhere, David and Victoria’s West London home was burgled on February 28, with the break-in being discovered when 17-year-old Cruz returned home from a night out and stumbled upon the upturned bedroom and spotted broken glass from a window on the floor.

The thief forced their way into a spare upstairs bedroom at the £40m mansion in Holland Park and ransacked the place while David, Victoria and 10-year-old daughter Harper relaxed downstairs completely unaware.

Neither David nor Victoria have broken their silence yet on the burglary.

David reportedly called 999 and set about searching the mansion for the burglar with Cruz, while Harper remained with Victoria and waited for the police.

The burglar is thought to have been part of a gang which targeted at least two other houses in the area on the same night.

The Met confirmed it is investigating and that no arrests have been made.
