Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly married Olympic athlete Adam Peaty on Saturday, 27 December at Bath Abbey, and the A-list glitterati headed to the stunning venue to watch the pair cement their love.

Holly arrived on the arm of her parent, the iconic British chef, and as she made her way into the Abbey, sources told HELLO! she was mobbed by photographers. “Holly’s wedding descended into chaos this afternoon as photographers and security clashed just as the bride was entering the church,” the onlooker revealed. “As the world’s press assembled in an orderly fashion in a pen at the front of the church, four rogue photographers ran from a back door where the Beckhams had recently arrived as Holly and Gordon pulled up to the side of the church in their car. “

Harper Beckham was on the elusive guest list and accompanied her mother, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, her father, footballing legend Sir David, and two of her older brothers, Romeo and Cruz. Harper, who turned fourteen earlier this year, decided to wear a dress from her mother’s high-end designer fashion brand, which was founded in 2008.

Harper looked lovely in her wedding guest dress

The elegant number fell in fluid fashion to the floor in a glamorous maxi length and created a sleek stance. Covering up from the cold and adding a flamboyant edge to her look, the beauty-loving Beckham offspring added a black feathered cape, which not only kept out the chill from the frosty weather but gave the modern look a romantic kick. She also carried a highly desirable piece of arm candy in the form of a Bottega Veneta pouch bag.

Harper wore the same dress at her father’s birthday party in July

Her satin maxi gown in midnight blue has had many outings, most memorably at her father’s joyous 50th birthday celebrations, which took place at the Beckham family home in the Cotswolds in July.

Like her daughter, Victoria Beckham also wore a satin dress

As a fashion editor who has been writing about style for over fifteen years, I think this is a fabulous outfit to wear to a wedding, and I would even go as far as to say Harper’s look is one of the best I’ve seen at this event. This is because the teenager chose a jewel-toned number that wasn’t overpowering, yet was still opulent and mindful of the bride. Harper had adhered to the unofficial style etiquette that is expected at wedding nuptials.

Fashion rules to follow when attending a wedding

Holly’s bridesmaids wore red dresses

When it comes to wedding guest outfits, there are a few unspoken rules. The first and main pointer is that one shouldn’t wear white, as this shade should only be reserved exclusively for the bride. I would also say that guests should try to avoid the colour scheme of the bridal party, too. Harper showed a great example of this at Holly’s wedding, for instance, as the bridesmaids wore red; Harper wore navy, which is an entirely different colourway.

Unless there’s a strict dress code, such as black tie, one can be free to wear a maxi, midi, or even a mini-length dress, as well as a two-piece suit, or a trendy co-ord to a ceremony, reception, or both, as long as it is respectful.

Harper’s love letter to satin dresses

Harper’s ‘go to’ look is a satin dress

Harper, who has shown a keen interest in fashion over the years – from designing her own christening gown back in 2019 to having tea at the Prada Cafe in 2023 for her 12th birthday – is often seen in her widely considered trademark outfit of a satin dress.

Harper has a huge collection of satin dresses in a variety of colours

The satin dress has been the most-worn fashion item that she has stepped out in at many public engagements, from cheering on her mother’s label during Paris Fashion Week in September, to watching the ballet at the Royal Opera House in June.

Victoria has described Harper’s slip dresses as ‘appropriate’

She has a variety of colours, from blush pink to black. Speaking about her daughter’s style, including her penchant for her own silk dresses, Victoria previously told The Telegraph: “They suit her, and they’re appropriate. But she’s a tomboy really, although she has every skincare product under the sun.”

Adam Peaty changes name after wedding to Holly Ramsay amid family rift

Swimming champion Adam Peaty has changed his name on Instagram following his wedding to Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Holly.

The celebrity chef was among the stars who attended the ceremony held on Saturday at Bath Abbey on Saturday, and reportedly gave a speech that alluded to the fall-out with Peaty’s parents, who did not attend.

After the wedding, Peaty changed his name on his Instagram profile so it now reads: “Adam Ramsay Peaty.”

The Sun reports that Ramsay, 59, told Peaty he was a “lucky man” as he gushed about how beautiful Holly looked, referring to his own wife, Tana and remarking: “That’s what you have to look forward to.”

Peaty reportedly made a subtle reference to the situation with his family in his own speech at the wedding, by thanking the 200 guests in attendance for their support in a “difficult time”.

The row with Peaty’s family is rumoured to have erupted after his mother, Caroline, was not invited to Holly’s hen do at Soho Farmhouse in Great Tew, Chipping Norton.

Holly shared a number of photos from the celebrations, which were attended by her mum, sisters and a number of close friends.

An Instagram user purporting to be Adam Peaty’s aunt, Louise, commented on Holly’s post: “I’m so glad that you are having a great hen do as a bride you deserve that. However as a person you were divisive and hurtful towards a woman who I have loved and continue to love deeply. A woman who opened her home and heart to you.

“You decided, for whatever reason, not to invite her, your prospective mother in law to your hen night yet Adam invited his father in law, your dad, to his stag night.

“You invited your mum (quite rightly) and even your mum’s assistant, your sisters, your friends, my niece, but not my sister, your future mother in law. I have also seen messages passing between her and Adam (without my sister’s knowledge or consent) about this and other matters and quite frankly I expected better of you and definitely of Adam. You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.”

Ahead of the wedding ceremony, Caroline also gave an interview to the Daily Mail, for which she was not paid, commenting: “I don’t think they understand how much they have hurt me; it’s as if they have cut my heart out.

“This is the first Christmas that I’ve not had my family together – my family is broken.”

She added: “They are still both loved, there is nothing I won’t forgive, and I want them to have the best day.”

Peaty, 31, is believed to have met Holly through his sister, Tilly, when they both took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2021.

Holly, 25, announced their engagement on 12 September 2024 in an Instagram post that said: “I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now.”

In a separate post, Peaty said: “I can’t believe you’re going to be my wife. I’m truly the luckiest man on earth to have such a gentle, caring and beautiful woman by my side.”

Peaty, a six-time Olympic gold medallist from Staffordshire, was previously in a relationship with artist Eirianedd Munro, with whom he shares a five-year-old.

His sister Beth, 32, was apparently the only family member who attended the service, as maid of honour with Holly’s sisters, Megan and Tilly, as bridesmaids.

Among the celebrity guests at the ceremony were former footballer Sir David Beckham and his wife, former Spice Girls star and fashion designer Victoria, and their youngest children Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

Channel 5 newsreader Dan Walker posted to social media that it was a “great wedding” filled with “top people”.

Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies, who competed alongside Peaty on the 19th series of Strictly Come Dancing, also wished the couple a “lifetime of happiness together” following their “beautiful” wedding.

She also had plenty of praise reserved for the feast laid on for guests at the ceremony, which she noted was not surprising given Gordon Ramsay’s long career as one of the UK’s top chefs.

“Yesterday I had the privilege of being at this amazing man’s wedding – and it also gave me a moment to reflect on how lucky I’ve been to have him in my life over the past four years,” she said.

“From the first day we met on Strictly, we’ve been firm friends, and it was a real honour to sit in Bath Abbey and watch him get emotional as the love of his life walked down the aisle.

“It was such a special day. Simon (her husband) and I had the best time, the service was beautiful – and I’m sure you’ll not be surprised to hear me say, it was hands down the best wedding food I’ve ever had.

“Wishing my wonderful friend and his gorgeous bride a lifetime of happiness together.”

The Independent has contacted Ramsay and Peaty’s representatives for comment.
