Mel B’s Bridal Style: Sleek White Pumps, Pearl-Adorned Gown & A-List Guests

Mel B is known for her bold shoe choices—think glittering crystals, eye-catching metallics, fierce boots, and animal prints. But for her walk down the aisle, she traded in her usual statement heels for a classic bridal moment.

Mel B tied the knot with hairstylist Rory McPhee at the historic Order of the British Empire (OBE) Chapel, also known as St. Faith’s Chapel, tucked inside the crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.

Lady Diana wed then-Prince Charles at the same cathedral in July 1981. It’s an exclusive venue reserved for Members of the OBE. Mel B was given the privilege of getting married in the OBE Chapel as a member herself, having been appointed by Prince William in 2022 in recognition of her work supporting charitable causes and vulnerable women.

Let’s have a closer look at what Mel B and Rory McPhee wore on their big day!

Mel B’s Elegant White Pumps: A Classic Bridal Choice

Scary Spice wore a pair of sophisticated white pumps, allowing classic elegance to take center stage. Although far from her usual bold, statement-making footwear, they exuded a sense of refined grace that was perfect for the romantic atmosphere of her special day.

Mel B’s pumps were sleek and understated in white leather, exuding timeless bridal elegance with a modern twist. They have sharp uppers that add a contemporary feel, while the pointed toes keep the design clean and refined.

These pumps are set atop 4-inch heels, giving her appearance just the right amount of height and drama. Known for her fearless fashion sense and larger-than-life personality, Mel B stands at 5 feet 4½ inches (163.8 cm) and wears a US shoe size 8.5.

From thigh-high boots to sleek stilettos, her bold footwear choices have long been a signature part of her style. Here’s a closer look at some of her most iconic shoe moments.

Inside Mel B’s Pearl-Embellished Josephine Scott Wedding Dress

Mel B teamed her white pumps with a breathtaking white wedding gown from London-based fashion house Josephine Scott, known for its exquisite, couture-level wedding dresses. It was selected from the upscale London boutique Evelie, whose founder shared on Instagram her experience meeting Mel B.

“From the moment Mel walked through the doors at Evelie, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Helping a real Spice Girl choose her wedding dress—what could possibly top that?”

The stunning georgette-crepe wedding dress featured a bustier corset-style bodice that hugged Mel B’s figure beautifully. Its subtly structured, plunging neckline enhanced her physique, while the pleating on the bust added texture and visual interest, giving the romantic design a refined, fashion-forward edge.

The gown had a sheer mesh element, intricately hand-embellished with gleaming pearls for an ethereal effect. The delicate beading traced the modest high neckline and shoulders before cascading down the decolletage and long sleeves, culminating in clustered accents around the wrist.

Mel B’s hourglass figure was accentuated by the mermaid-style gown, which flared gently at the hem to create a timeless silhouette. It was finished with a sweeping train, paired with a cathedral-length veil that added a touch of grandeur to the look.

In an interview with Hoda & Jenna in January 2024, Mel B revealed that she was considering having Victoria Beckham create her wedding gown. Though the collaboration never materialized, Beckham still played a role in the celebration by gifting Mel B’s daughter a custom blue silk dress and matching fascinator for the special occasion.

Despite Victoria’s absence at the wedding, her mother attended in her stead, wearing a floral dress from the Victoria Beckham collection.

Soft Glam & Accessories: Mel B’s Romantic Bridal Finish

Mel B kept her glam and accessories simple, allowing her stunning wedding dress to take center stage. She wore her hair in tight curls and accentuated her features with smoky eye makeup, blush, and mauve lipstick.

Carrying a bouquet of white roses and hydrangeas, Mel B completed her look with tiny diamond stud earrings and elegant pearl drop earrings that matched her gown.

Rory McPhee’s Scottish Groom Look: Tradition Meets Style

Mel B’s now husband, Rory McPhee, embraced tradition in a Scottish outfit, highlighted by a red and green tartan kilt. He looked handsome in a Prince Charlie jacket, a cropped, formal Scottish jacket with satin lapels and silver buttons, paired with a matching waistcoat. Underneath, he had on a crisp white shirt and a black bow tie, completing the polished look.

Rory accessorized his traditional outfit with a fly plaid in the same color as his kilt, secured with a brooch over his right shoulder, and a black kilt belt with a large silver-tone buckle.

Rory also wore a sporran, a small pouch worn at the front of the kilt, adding function and authenticity to the look. Completing the outfit were black kilt socks with coordinating kilt flashes and a pair of ghillie brogues.

Similar to regular brogues, these classic shoes have perforations and wing tips, but they lack a tongue and have leather laces that elegantly wrap around the ankles.

With Mel B and Rory McPhee looking picture-perfect, all eyes turned to the guests—many of whom brought serious fashion heat to the celebration.

Emma Bunton’s Pink Wedding Look: Roland Mouret & Crystal Heels

It was expected that all of the Spice Girls would be present at Mel B’s wedding, but only Emma Bunton showed up. She did not disappoint, staying true to her Baby Spice roots with a head-to-toe pastel pink ensemble that was sophisticated and nostalgic.

Bunton wore an asymmetric mini dress by Roland Mouret featuring a fitted silhouette with an angled neckline, long sleeves, and pleated shoulders. The miniskirt was elevated with a cascading drape on one side, adding movement and charm to the sleek design.

Emma styled the look with a matching pink fascinator, which added a whimsical flair, while a white quilted clutch provided a refined finish to her chic wedding guest ensemble.

Completing the ensemble, Baby Spice slipped into a pair of nude-pink platform sandals by Jennifer Chamandi, a British-Lebanese luxury shoe designer known for merging elegance with technical artistry. A former banker turned footwear visionary, Chamandi is celebrated for her patented “Eye of the Needle” heel—a gold-plated detail that holds a removable strap.

Handcrafted by Italian artisans, these sandals have crystal-encrusted crisscrossed straps across the toes and a dainty slingback strap with a buckle fastening. They’re finished with thick platforms and high block heels, adorned with Chamandi’s signature Eye of the Needle detail.

Cara Delevingne Brings Edgy Chic in Tailored Suit & Pointed Shoes

Cara Delevingne also graced the occasion, bringing her signature androgynous, edgy style with a sharp black suit.

The supermodel wore a tailored ensemble by Camilla and Marc, featuring an oversized single-breasted blazer with notched lapels. She kept the jacket open to showcase a crisp white shirt and long, slim black satin necktie that added a sleek, menswear-inspired finish.

Cara paired the blazer with loose-fitting, straight-leg trousers, subtly concealing her black shoes underneath. She chose a formal pair of dress shoes with sharp pointed toes and what appeared to be flat soles, blending comfort with polish.

Cara added a playful twist to the edgy ensemble with tortoiseshell sunglasses. She then tucked her hair into a sheer, floral veil-like piece, topped off with a quirky Maison Michel beige wicker hat for a whimsical finish.

Daisy Lowe Stuns in Lace Alessandra Rich Dress & Platform Heels

Daisy Lowe made a striking entrance at Mel B’s wedding in a black floral lace dress by Alessandra Rich, currently on sale for $2,080 (from $2,887) at Farfetch.

The form-fitting ankle-length dress was crafted from see-through black Chantilly lace, showing a glimpse of her black undergarments. It was adorned with 3D floral appliques and tonal sequins that added subtle shimmer to the all-black look. The dress also featured long sleeves, a modest crew neck, and a daring V-back, adding a touch of sensuality to the elegant silhouette.
