Mel C got married in ‘something borrowed’ from Victoria Beckham

Melanie Chisholm married Australian model Chris Dingwall in Cumbria, UK, on Saturday. Dave Benett/Getty Images for Harpers Bazaar UK Melanie Chisholm’s wedding dress came with a Posh pedigree. The Spice Girls singer, 52, wed model Chris Dingwall on Saturday in a custom gown designed by former bandmate Victoria Beckham. The ceremony — held at friend’s lakeside property in Cumbria, UK — was the couple’s second. They legally wed earlier in Dingwall’s native Australia, and Chisholm borrowed a dress straight out of Beckham’s closet for the occasion. Victoria Beckham designed the bride’s custom ivory gown with hand-stitched lace appliqués.

(It’s still in stock in several sizes — and on sale for 40% off.) The floor-length ivory slip has a soft V neckline, a low back, skinny straps and lace appliqués that trail across the bust and down one hip — a ’90s-inspired silhouette for a woman who helped define the decade. “There’s just something about her clothes,” Chisholm said of Beckham’s designs. “They have a real simplicity, especially the slip dresses. They’re really feminine, but in a way that feels comfortable, and very me.” Shop ’til you drop with Post Wanted Save time and money with the latest deals, discounts, trends, reviews and more. Thanks for signing up! Chisholm had ordered the style off the rack, but didn’t have time to get it altered, so her friend stepped in. Victoria Beckham Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell-Horner all turned up for their former bandmate’s nuptials. Getty Images Dingwall proposed in Mallorca last July, about two years after the pair matched on Raya. Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic For the UK party, Beckham reworked the design with custom-dyed lace hand-stitched over the bodice and skirt, plus a train added at the request of Chisholm’s 17-year-old daughter, Scarlet. The figure-skimming cut showcased the star’s sculpted arms and shoulders. The festivities were also something of a Spice Girls reunion: Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell-Horner all made the trip to the Lake District. Beckham couldn’t attend, but her work walked the aisle. Chisholm finished the look with the label’s champagne satin Harlow heels and Dorian clutch, and carried a loose bunch of wildflowers. The groom wore a Zegna suit. Friendship never ends — and neither does the tracksuit. Chisholm changed into wide-leg champagne trousers and a white sports bra for the reception. The couple met on Raya and had their first date in Australia in November 2023, and Dingwall proposed in Mallorca last July. Viva forever, indeed.
