When Nicola Peltz Beckham ditched her blonde locks for a brunette makeover, she inadvertently parted the Red Sea of beauty aficionados.

On Sunday, the heiress returned to her roots, slipping into a platinum blonde wig to mark Halloween. Turning out a true Cali-girl costume, the 29-year-old wife of Brooklyn Beckham dressed up in a sateen black jumpsuit complete with black tights and a preppy white collar with a bow tie - transforming into a textbook Playboy Bunny.

The Playboy Bunnies were waitresses and performers in the Playboy Clubs, an exclusive nightclub chain launched by Hugh Hefner in 1960. Known for their iconic uniforms with corsets, bunny ears, fluffy tails, and collars, Bunnies symbolised the glamour and allure of the Playboy brand. Beyond serving cocktails, Bunnies trained rigorously to perfect signature moves like the 'Bunny Dip,' a graceful way of serving drinks.
