Melanie C, born Melanie Chisholm, married her partner Chris Dingwall over the weekend in a ceremony at The Country House Cumbria. The Spice Girl, 52, wore custom Adidas attire for the occasion, including an ivory silk robe with white silk stripes and custom white and gold sliders featuring the wedding date in gold.
Custom Adidas Looks for the Big Day
Before the ceremony, Melanie C donned a custom Adidas robe made from ivory silk with white stripes, paired with custom sliders. After the meal, she changed into another custom Adidas ensemble: an elevated tracksuit with high-waisted, wide-legged trousers and a cropped jacket with a peaked lapel and deep ribbed waistband, also in ivory silk with white stripes, worn with custom Superstar trainers.
Spice Girls Reunion and Victoria's Absence
Three of Melanie C's Spice Girls bandmates attended: Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, and Melanie Brown. Victoria Beckham was absent due to attending the World Cup but contributed by designing Melanie C's stunning backless wedding dress. According to The Sun, sources revealed that Geri and Mel B were civil to each other during the intimate ceremony and reception on July 18, despite an ongoing rift since 2022.
Insider Describes Perfect Day
An insider told the publication: "Melanie and Chris’ wedding was perfect, they couldn’t be happier. They chose a classy, laid-back ceremony before a reception with their closest friends and family." The source added: "Mel B gave a speech which got a lot of laughs, as well as some tears − it was really beautiful. Geri was there but there was no awkwardness between her and Mel B. It was a day for celebrating Melanie and Chris’s love for each other and that was all anyone wanted to do."
Melanie C told British Vogue the wedding was "low-key, relaxed, romantic and chic," adding: "I’m so excited for the world to know he’s my husband."
