Mel B started a new chapter in classic style, wearing a wedding dress filled with powerful meaning. The 50-year-old Spice Girl icon tied the knot with longtime friend and hair stylist Rory McPhee.
Best known for her fierce fashion and love of leopard print, ‘America’s Got Talent‘ judge Mel surprised fans by walking down the aisle in a classic bridal gown.
A Dress That Embodies Strength and Sensuality
The gown, a bespoke creation by British designer Josephine Scott via Evelie Bridal, featured a ruched bodice, a sheer illusion neckline adorned with white pearls, and a flowing train designed to reflect more than just beauty.
“Designing this gown for Mel was about capturing her fearless spirit and softness all in one look,” Josephine shared, as per a report in Daily Mail.
“She’s iconic, powerful, and radiant — and this dress had to be worthy of that. Every detail was chosen to honour her strength and sensuality, while celebrating the woman and the love story beneath the girl power.”
Inside the Powerful Message Woven Into Her Bridal Look
From the moment AGT judge Mel stepped into Evelie Bridal, the creative team knew this journey would be a unique one.
“Helping a real Spice Girl choose her wedding dress — what could possibly top that?” bridal expert Caroline Black shared with Daily Mail.
“But what’s truly made this experience so meaningful is getting to know Mel as just Mel — not the icon, but the woman. It’s been such an honour.”
According to designer Scott, Mel wanted the dress to represent more than tradition: “[She wanted to] embody strength, sensuality, and timeless glamour.” The result was a gown that told a story of resilience and new beginnings!
The Ceremony: A Symbolic Start at St. Paul’s Cathedral
The couple exchanged vows at St. Paul’s Cathedral, a venue Mel was allowed to use after receiving an MBE in 2022 for her work with domestic abuse survivors.
Close family and friends attended the ceremony.
Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton arrived in a blush pink mini dress alongside their husband, Jade Jones, and their son Beau. A video shared by E! News confirmed Emma’s presence at her friend’s big day.
Mel’s sister Danielle Brown, Daisy Lowe, Katherine Ryan, and Gaby Roslin were also among the celebrity guests dressed to impress.
Hello reported that, after the emotional ceremony, Mel and Rory planned an unforgettable reception at The Shard in London. The celebration took place at the Shangri-La venue on one of the building’s highest floors, offering panoramic views of the city and promising a night of dancing and joy.
Friends and family were told to expect the “party of the century” — a fitting close to a day filled with elegance, meaning, and Mel B’s signature flair.
