Melanie C marries Chris Dingwall in Victoria Beckham‑designed wedding dress
Spice Girl Melanie C (Melanie Chisholm) wed Australian model‑producer Chris Dingwall on 18 July 2026 at The Country House in Castle Carrock, Cumbria, England. The intimate ceremony was attended by three fellow Spice Girls—Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell‑Horner—with Melanie’s 17‑year‑old daughter Scarlett serving as bridesmaid. A herd of cows briefly startled guests during the vows.
The couple had previously completed a legal civil ceremony in Australia. For the UK celebration, Melanie wore a backless, floor‑length white gown designed by former band‑mate Victoria Beckham. Beckham, who was in the United States supporting her husband David at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, could not attend but created the dress as a gift, describing it as “something borrowed” and later crafted a bespoke version for the main event.
The wedding highlighted the enduring friendship of the Spice Girls and marked Melanie C’s first marriage, with the designer dress becoming a focal point of media coverage.
