Brooklyn and Nicola's £10.5m LA home purchase explained amid family feud
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz's reasoning for buying a lavish £10.5million Hollywood home has been revealed amid the pair's huge recent fallout with the influencer's family Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have s wooped to buy a lavish £10.5million home in Hollywood as the family feud rumbles on. The eldest of David and Victoria Beckham's kids has opted to splash on the pricey home after previously renting with Nicola as a temporary base away from his parents. The luxurious property boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms and shows an indication Brooklyn sees his life stateside now. But while the purchase has been labelled as a "dagger to the heart" of his parents, it's denied the move has anything to do with the recent family fall out. Brooklyn has continuously snubbed his parents in recent months, including shunning his dad's 50th birthday celebrations. He also opted against sending a public message of support for the former footballer's knighthood last week. And while the rest of the Beckham clan sent gushing Father's Day messages on social media, Brooklyn appeared to once again shy away from any public adulation. Now, despite speculation due to the move, sources have moved to block any rumours the new home location had anything to do with the feud. Instead, a source told us: "This house has nothing to do with family dynamics. "Both Nicola and Brooklyn's careers are based in Los Angeles, and Brooklyn spent part of his childhood there while his father played for LA Galaxy. During that time, he attended school in LA for several years and built a life and friendships in the city. LA has always felt like home to him." On Tuesday, Brooklyn's brothers Romeo and Cruz both took to social media to share cryptic posts amid the family turmoil. It came as Victoria was among other family members reportedly left "disgusted" after Brooklyn's Father's Day and knighthood snub. Taking to Instagram, Romeo shared a post of himself with a pal, labelling it "family" with a crossed fingers emoji. He later shared a series throwback snaps of his mum Victoria and dad David looking very youthful. Some of the image showed a fresh-faced Victoria with a pram or one of their sons in tow. Meanwhile, Cruz shared a similarly cryptic post. He uploaded a screengrab of Carly Simon's hit You're So Vain, before going on to share a poster with the words: "If I would stick my pen in my heart/ Spill it all over the stage/ Would it satisfy you?" As the family continues its fallout, David is finally set to be honoured with a knighthood. David will be honoured at Buckingham Palace later this year, but the special day that he has dreamed of for so many years will be tinged with sadness as Brooklyn and his wife Nicola are not set to attend, according to reports. While David will be supported by his wife Victoria, 51, sons Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 13, Brooklyn is likely to skip his dad's biggest career milestone yet.

This New York steakhouse was named one of the World's Most Beautiful Restaurants
Of course, we want our dinner to taste good—but it doesn't hurt when it looks good, too. And the lovely venues featured on Prix Versailles' 2025 list of the World's Most Beautiful Restaurants, including a certain stunning New York steakhouse, are definitely a feast for the eyes. As it recently had done with picturesque hotel properties, the Prix Versailles —a series of international awards given annually in the field of architecture—released its list of the world's most visually stunning dining rooms on June 16, recently opened spots that "are evidence of the dominant aesthetic and cultural dynamics around the world," per organizers. And while much of the list is devoted to gorgeous eateries in far-flung locales (like Blackswan in Beijing, China; Bouchon Carême in Helsinki, Finland; Gerbou in Dubai, UAE; and Coro in Orvieto, Italy), one of this year's picks is delightfully closer to home: New York's own Beefbar. Founded by Riccardo Giraudi, with locations in Cannes, Mykonos, London and Hong Kong, the Monte Carlo-born meat concept took over the former Nobu space in spring 2024, bringing its prime cuts and plush setting to Tribeca. "The new location's décor, designed by the Monaco-based firm Humbert & Poyet, is a perfect reflection of New York: a melting pot of influences from which novel expressions emanate, that are as original as they are disconcerting," praises the Prix Versailles. The opulent dining room features tall arched windows, antique mirrors, velvet bench seats and bronze-alabaster sconces. Framed with fluted red and white marble, both the grand kitchen and the meat display cabinet are in view from the seating area, giving you a peek at all of the glorious meat sweats to come. Calling Beefbar's good looks as "oh-so-American yet rooted in Europe," the design-loving list pointed to the interior's "lovely variety of textiles and materials, an abundance that was inspired by a kaleidoscopic vision of history: from a refined version of the historic motif in the Versailles parquet floor to a recollection of the industrial heritage of this part of Manhattan, and from garnet marble cladding to terrazzo flooring." Beefbar was joined on the list by only one other American dining room: Japón at The Setai in Miami Beach, Florida. You can check out the rest of the global list below.

Sabrina Carpenter's album cover is not liberation - it's glamorous despair

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The photo depicts a beautiful woman in her late twenties kneeling on the floor, her hair tightly wound around a besuited man's fist. Her lips are plumped and parted, she gazes doe-eyed at the camera, in a skin-tight short black dress. The couple's attire suggests they've been out at a swanky event; perhaps one where they laughed together, presenting an image of love and togetherness. Now, in the privacy of a hotel room, the faceless man will shed off any pretence this relationship is one of equals. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad As ever, the woman performs for the camera. Her male partner's face is an irrelevance. I refer to the cover of American pop-star Sabrina Carpenter's latest album 'Man's Best Friend.' Anyone with a teenage daughter will know who that is. The popular songstress has gained acclaim for her albums, with their pleasant blend of folksy-pop and cutesy, catchy lyrics, which Pitchfork magazine describe as 'deliciously dumb and possibly genius.' I can't pretend to have known who she was before this week. My initial response to seeing her album cover was formed in ignorance of her work, but deep knowledge – and at least 20 years – of seeing similar imagery become ever more mainstream and ubiquitous. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad To promote her album, Carpenter has also appeared naked – aside from white lacy stockings - on the cover of Rolling Stone. Once again on her knees, her voluminous hair was placed to 'protect her decency' as we used to call it. The internet has subsequently exploded with competing takes, which I imagine was the intention. On the one hand, Sabrina's fans, who deride those taking issue with the images: we're lacking in 'humour.' We're also unaware of the 'irony' Carpenter employs in her 'choices.' Salon Magazine's Amanda Marcotte argues that young women who attend Sabrina's concerts in their thousands are 'simultaneously relishing femininity while sending it up.' Carpenter's schtick is therefore 'camp for straight women,' Marcotte argues, defending a stance that 'feminists can't let male porn producers be the only ones selling sex.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This take is consistent if the root argument is that the pornification of everything is inevitable. Also, that mandatory 'femininity' can somehow be liberating and not a prison. It's going to happen anyway, women are expected to be this way, so why shouldn't they coin in on the action? On the other hand, however, far away from the world of glitzy-kitch and glamour of pop-stardom, we have hard-working, beleaguered women fighting strenuously against male violence, often on a shoe-string and in a hostile environment. 'We've fought too hard for this,' said Glasgow Women's Aid in a social media post. 'Carpenter's cover takes us backwards, they argue, to a time when women were viewed solely as 'pets, props and possessions.' This isn't 'subversive, it's regressive.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I admit a weariness that pornified pop proliferates to mass applause and justification, while we all simultaneously wring our hands over teenage girls' mental health. In a world of Andrew Tate and accompanying incels, #MeToo and the devastating rise of domestic violence, a beautiful, talented, wealthy young woman stripping to her stockings and aping porn images can't possibly be viewed as 'empowering' for anything other than her bank balance. And fair enough, some would argue. She's making a 'choice' to do this. Well, yes. And that can be many things, but it takes some chutzpah to call it 'liberating for women,' or remotely 'feminist,' as some are trying to. In my twenties, when I was starting out as a performance poet in the early noughties, there was a notable appetite for burlesque. At late night cabarets during the Festival, such acts featured alongside male musicians and comedians. I'd take to the stage with spiky poems, almost entirely about dating, boozing, and sex. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad One evening, in a bit of frustration, I took to the mic and said, 'I'd like to congratulate the programmers for their gender balance this evening, though I think I'm the only woman on the bill keeping her clothes on!' I'd thought it an amusing quip, but instead was hissed. Oops. These days, no doubt, I'd get a social media pile-on and a reputation for being an 'anti-sex feminist,' which is activist speak for 'joyless, prudish hag.' But even at that early age, I was bored of it all. The constant push to make porn ordinary and the private act itself a public carnival. And that was pre-social media, pre-Cardi B and 'WAP,' the lyrics of which are unprintable. It was also well before your average 12-year old had easy access to extremist depictions of group-sex and torture-pornography, in just a few clicks. Add fear to that previous boredom. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Porn is to sex what parkour is to walking down the street. It is performance – an often vicious one. I'm not sure it is possible to be 'ironic' about what it is doing to us. Frankly, it is not just young people we need to worry about. Reports earlier this year showed a direct link between pornography addiction and adult men viewing images of child abuse. This is the context in which the 'playful' Sabrina is making her 'choices.' Just as Glasgow Women's Aid are correct to say that images like Carpenter's are regressive, I'd argue that mostly, they convey resignation: this is just how women are portrayed now, they'll always be made to, so I'll 'subvert' that by doing it to myself.
