Brooklyn Beckham has been labelled the odd one out after appearing in an awkward-looking Halloween photograph alongside his wife Nicola Peltz and their close friend Damian Hurley.
The trio attended a Halloween party in Los Angeles over the weekend, where they showed off their coordinated costumes in a series of Instagram photographs.
However, Nicola’s matching outfit with Damian quickly became a talking point among followers, with some suggesting Brooklyn looked like an outsider in the group.
Nicola Peltz and Damian Hurley Coordinate Leather Halloween Costumes
Brooklyn, 27, opted for a Superman costume featuring fake abdominal muscles and Clark Kent-style glasses, while Nicola, 31, transformed into Catwoman in a tight-fitting leather crop top and matching trousers.
Damian, 24, also appeared in a leather outfit inspired by the jumpsuit Michael Jackson wore before the release of his Dangerous album.
In one photograph shared by Brooklyn, Damian stood beside Nicola with his arm wrapped around her, while Brooklyn positioned himself behind the pair with his hands tucked into his pockets.
Nicola also shared a playful kiss with her husband in another photograph before posing alongside Damian.
Fans Describe Brooklyn as the ‘Third Wheel’
The photograph featuring Nicola, Damian and Brooklyn attracted several comments from social media users who questioned the matching outfits and the positioning of the three friends.
“Bless him he looks like a spare part,” one follower commented.
Another wrote: “Brooklyn looks so out of place.”
“Brooklyn looks the odd one out,” another person said, while a different commenter described the photograph as giving “3rd wheel vibe”.
One follower questioned Nicola’s decision to coordinate her costume with Damian, asking: “Why is she wearing a matching costume with some other guy?”
Another suggested that a Batman costume would have been more suitable for Brooklyn.
“Nicola & Damian = couple goals,” one person added.
Brooklyn and Damian’s Friendship Dates Back to Childhood
Brooklyn and Damian have known each other since childhood.
Damian is the only child of actress Elizabeth Hurley, while Brooklyn is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham.
Both men also share Sir Elton John as their godfather.
Their Halloween celebrations followed a gathering in Venice a week earlier, where Brooklyn, Nicola and Damian attended celebrations for David Furnish’s 64th birthday.
Brooklyn Responds to Comments With Public Declaration of Love
Hours after the Halloween photographs attracted attention, Brooklyn appeared to address the reactions by sharing another picture of Nicola looking glamorous and seemingly surprised.
He accompanied the photograph with a direct message about his feelings for his wife.
“Yeah I am obsessed with my wife. Bring on the comments, I don’t care. She’s perfect xx,” he wrote, adding a middle-finger emoji.
The post came shortly after Brooklyn published an anniversary tribute to Nicola, featuring a photograph of himself kissing her cheek as she held a red Chanel handbag worth £5,390.
He also shared pictures of two bouquets of flowers and a handwritten love letter.
Addressing his wife, Brooklyn wrote: “My beautiful Nicola, you mean absolutely everything to me.”
He continued: “You’re my whole world, my best friend, and the most important person in my life.
I’m so lucky I get to love you and spend forever by your side. I love you more than words can ever explain.”
However, the declaration also attracted criticism from some followers, with several describing it as overly performative.
One commenter referenced Brooklyn’s previous criticism of his parents’ social media posts, writing: “From the guy who called his parents’ social media posts ‘performative’…”
Another described the message as “another millionth declaration”.
Couple Mark Seven Years Since Reconnecting in Los Angeles
Thursday marked seven years since Brooklyn and Nicola reconnected at a Halloween party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio in Los Angeles in 2019.
The pair had previously been introduced at the Coachella music festival in April 2017.
Brooklyn and Nicola have several anniversaries, including their wedding in April 2022 and their vow renewal in August 2025.
Nicola also marked the seven-year milestone with a tribute to her husband on Instagram.
“Happy anniversary my love, my best friend, my everything,” she wrote.
She continued: “I can’t believe it’s been 7 years by your side, I wouldn’t wish for it any other way. i love you with my entire soul. i adore your love letters and morning coffees with our puppies please never change. i fall harder for you everyday.”
