She’s set to receive a ‘rising star’ award in Venice on Friday.
And Nicola Peltz, 31, and Brooklyn Beckham, 27, were glued to one another’s side after jetting into the Italian city the night before.
The couple sipped on glasses of red wine and enjoyed a PDA, with Brooklyn nuzzling into Nicola’s neck during their romantic moment.
She wore low-slung jeans and a black vest top and designer sunglasses, while Brooklyn wore a crisp white T-shirt and khaki shorts.
Despite Nicola’s 20-year acting career, Nicola is being awarded the prize at The Kineo Awards which take place during the prestigious film festival, but aren’t technically part of the Venice International Film Festival.
The awards note on the citation for ‘rising Star’ that Nicola actually started acting as a child 20 years ago.

The Kineo Awards, celebrating their 25th anniversary, note that ‘in recent years, the American actress, screenwriter and producer has attracted growing international attention through increasingly multifaceted roles, both in front of and behind the camera’.
Nicola is being honoured alongside icon Faye Dunaway, who co-stars in her new self-funded film Prima. The legendary actress and Oscar winner will receive a lifetime achievement award.
The ceremony, set to take place at Venice’s Casa Cinema Giovani was conceived by Kinéo Cultural Association president Rosetta Sannelli and launched in 2002.
It takes place during the Venice Film Festival, which welcomes A-listers annually, but has no direct ties to the international gathering.
Nicola has been working on her indie drama Prima since January but the film does not yet have an official release date.
The movie also stars Dunaway, Jack Huston, Mira Sorvino and Betty Gabriel. Luca and Alessandro Morelli, known professionally as the Morelli Brothers, directed the film as their feature debut.
Nicola stars as Margo, a dedicated prima ballerina facing life-altering decisions as modern changes disrupt her ballet company.
The actress and her family attended a private Los Angeles screening in May for the movie, hosted by East West Bank CEO Dominic Ng. Afterwards she thanked supporters and said their backing of independent film meant ‘more than I can express’.

The film has also been in the spotlight after Nicola sparked concern with her drastic weight loss whilst preparing for her starring role.
Nicola undertook four months of gruelling ballerina training for her role which saw her drop to under 100 pounds (45kg).
Her shock weight loss came in a bid to fully embody her ballerina character – for which she committed to a strict diet and intensive training regimen.
Just last week Nicola’s husband Brooklyn jumped to her defence and warned ‘don’t ever talk about my wife’ in an online row about her weight.
The aspiring chef, 27, hit back in the comments section of his latest Instagram cookery tutorial after one follower asked: ‘Do you comment on everyone who is concerned about your wife and how sickly she looks?
‘She puts herself out there, feed her.’
Brooklyn replied: ‘Don’t ever talk about my wife. She’s absolutely beautiful and you should never comment on a woman’s body. It’s disgraceful.’
The hot sauce entrepreneur has been married to Nicola, 31, since 2022 and they renewed their vows last year in the wake of their ongoing feud with his family.
