The Beckhams are ideal ambassadors for Express, a brand steeped in heritage, yet one that is continually reinventing its signature style with designs that push the envelope. When it comes to their personal aesthetic, Brooklyn and Nicola nod to iconic Hollywood looks, but inject them with a fresh energy distinctly their own. For them—and for Express—fashion is an act of self-expression.
As the couple review the chic custom Express looks—including chic black blazers and luxe tailored pants—they’re in high spirits, honored to be a part of tonight’s VIP event benefiting the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports industry professionals impacted by the L.A. wildfires.
Both Beckhams are intentional about the way they craft their looks, especially for an event like tonight’s, when a theme—Old Hollywood Glamour, in this case—invites guests to truly create a character through their clothing. Film and fashion are different mediums, but both exist to tell stories, to move and inspire, to spark a bit of drama—and Brooklyn and Nicola plan on making an impact tonight. “I’m personally so excited to see the way fashion and film costume come together, and I’m so excited to see how Vogue marries them,” says Nicola.
While turning up on a red carpet may look effortless, it’s a result of both careful preparation and serendipitous creativity. Brooklyn and Nicola’s personal teams, in close collaboration with them, planned precisely how to bring their visions to life, preparing sketches in advance, taking photos as they tried on looks, and making last-minute tailoring adjustments to ensure the night goes off without a hitch. “Express really came together and made it feel so beautiful, but it really felt like our style, too,” says Nicola.
Set with their final custom Express looks—watch the video below to see them in action—Brooklyn and Nicola bid their goodbyes to their teams and head out to be whisked straight to the Paramount Lot, where the world’s most legendary movie stars made some of the greatest films ever produced. It’s a blockbuster setting for this year’s Golden Age-inspired incarnation of Vogue World.
