David Beckham's 50th birthday bash in west London was a star-studded affair, drawing a flurry of A-list celebrities.
Stars including Tom Cruise, Gordon Ramsay, Eva Longoria and their partners descended on three-Michelin starred restaurant Core in Notting Hill to mark the special occasion.
But there was one notable absence—David's eldest son Brooklyn, 26, who failed to attend the event alongside his wife Nicola, 30.
Core's celebrated chef Clare Smith created a special menu for the night, while guests brought a dose of glamour dressed in their finest.
Gordon Ramsay wore a Bond-inspired white tuxedo, while his wife Tana stunned in an elegant pale blue satin gown.
Another close friend, Dave Gardner, also opted for a sharp white tuxedo, arriving arm-in-arm with his girlfriend, Victoria's Secret model Jessica Clarke, 31.
Eva Longoria, 50, dazzled in a royal blue satin gown, accompanied by husband José Bastón, who cut a stylish figure in a classic black tuxedo.
But the standout fashion moment belonged to David’s wife Victoria Beckham, who did not disappoint.
She looked every inch the glamorous hostess in a flawless white gown, flanked by three of the couple's children—Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 13.
The Beckham sons both wore white tuxedos as they arrived hand-in-hand with their partners. Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, 24, chose a sleek black satin dress, pairing it with pointed heels and a clutch bag.
Cruz's partner Jackie Apostel, 29, turned heads in a lilac satin maxi dress, styled with striking black jewelled heels.
Tom Cruise, 62, a longtime friend of the Beckhams, made a discreet arrival alongside his girlfriend, actress Ana de Armas, 37. He previously attended Victoria's 50th birthday celebrations last year.
Despite the glamour on display, much attention focused on the conspicuous absence of eldest Beckham son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, whose decision not to attend has raised eyebrows.
The silence follows Brooklyn’s absence from Victoria’s birthday last month, when he and wife Nicola Peltz were seen partying at the Coachella music festival. Similarly, neither David nor Victoria posted congratulations online as Brooklyn and Nicola marked their third wedding anniversary.
Despite the tension, the source said there has been “some contact”, and both Brooklyn and Nicola were invited to David’s London birthday party — although they did not respond.
David and Victoria reportedly hired a £40 million Brigadier Global 6000 private jet for his birthday celebrations on Friday, spending the afternoon wine tasting at a vineyard in Bordeaux before dining at his favourite restaurant in Paris. The family later returned to London for yesterday’s lavish birthday party.
According to the Mail, the 50th birthday is just the latest of at least 11 family occasions Brooklyn is said to have missed.
