Although she isn’t a series regular, Nicola made her presence felt at the Los Angeles premiere of the Hulu original limited series held at the Pacific Design Center on Tuesday night.

Victoria Beckham’s daughter-in-law looked the part in a flirty white feathered dress as she posed on the red carpet with her husband, Brooklyn, who kept his arm around Nicola’s tiny waist.

The Bates Motel star had all eyes on her as she put her cleavage on display in the white midi dress from Miu Miu’s Holiday 2022 collection.

The sheath dress featured a body-skimming fit and a scoop neck held up by spaghetti straps. It also had a cross-back design and a plume of feathers at the hem that stopped above her ankles.

Stylist Karla Welch styled Nicola’s vintage-inspired dress with a diamond tennis necklace and a three-row diamond cuff.

She then slipped her French pedicured feet into a pair of retro-looking platform heels, also by Miu Miu.

They are made from champagne satin and feature curved V-shaped front straps, thin ankle straps, about 1.5-inch platforms, and 5-inch towering, curved block heels. You can find crystal-embellished versions of these sandals at Farfetch.

With the help of hairstylist Adir Abergel and makeup artist Emily Cheng, Nicola amped up the retro glam of her look.

She wore her long brunette tresses in Old Hollywood loose waves and applied cat-eye flick with peachy eyeshadow and a swipe of peachy nude lipstick.

Meanwhile, her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, looked handsome in a black suit with a partially unbuttoned white dress shirt underneath.

He accessorized with two beaded necklaces, one with letter charms that spelled out Nicola’s name, and rounded out his outfit with black patent lace-up shoes.

Is Welcome to Chippendales Based on a True Story?

Welcome to Chippendales is a true crime story that follows the rise and fall of Somen “Steve” Banerjee, an Indian migrant and entrepreneur who founded the pioneering all-male strip club, Chippendales.

It shows how Banerjee started as a Mobil gas station operator and a failed backgammon club owner to the founder of “the world’s greatest male-stripping empire.”

The upcoming eight-episode Hulu series focuses on the male strip club and the shocking crimes behind the success of Chippendales.

After becoming a major hit in West Los Angeles, Banerjee opened clubs in New York, Dallas, and Denver. Nightclubs similar to Chippendales then followed. Worried about the competition, Banerjee attempted to burn down at least three of the said nightclubs.

He also hired a hitman to murder his former business partner Nick De Noia and plotted to have other former Chippendale dancers killed.

Banerjee pleaded guilty to attempted arson, racketeering, and murder for hire. He died by suicide in a holding cell hours before his sentencing.
