Spice Girl Mel B and Rory McPhee Celebrate Love at Iconic London Venue

Melanie Brown, better known as Mel B from the legendary Spice Girls, just put a seriously glamorous spin on tieing the knot. On July 5, 2025, she married hairstylist Rory McPhee at St. Paul's Cathedral—a venue that’s hosted royalty and now pop royalty too. Their love story started in 2018, and after a proposal in 2022, they locked it in with a wedding fit for a tabloid splash and a royal footnote.

The location wasn't picked at random. The couple got married in St. Faith's Chapel, tucked within St. Paul's Cathedral, which British history buffs will remember is where Princess Diana married Prince Charles in 1981. Weddings here don’t happen without official approval, so Mel B needed the green light from the palace—a detail that only added to the day’s significance.

Ceremony goers walked into a scene filled with white flowers, which lined the chapel’s aisle and filled the air with elegance. Celebrities were out in force too: Emma Bunton—Baby Spice herself—showed up to support her bandmate. Model Cara Delevingne, Daisy Lowe, comic Katherine Ryan, and Tom Allen also made the guest list, bringing together stars from music, fashion, and comedy. Victoria Beckham, who skipped the big day, sent her congratulations on Instagram, and Geri Halliwell and Melanie Chisholm (Mel C) were notably absent.

Custom Gowns, Family Touches, and Star Power at the Reception

Mel B didn’t settle for just one dress; she wowed everyone in a custom ivory gown by Josephine Scott, decked out in pearls and paired with a show-stopping long veil. Later, she changed into another glamorous number by designer Justin Alexander for the afterparty. Rory McPhee embraced his Scottish roots, sporting a traditional kilt, which stood out among the stylish crowd.

This Mel B wedding was more than a celebrity hookup; it was a true family affair. Mel’s three daughters—Phoenix (26), Angel Iris (18), and Madison (13)—had crucial roles as bridesmaids. Seeing them walk beside their mom, dressed up and smiling, was pure photo-album gold for the Brown-McPhee family. Guests couldn’t help but notice the excitement and pride radiating from Mel and her girls.

After the ceremony, the party continued at the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel inside The Shard. Floor-to-ceiling windows showed off sweeping views of the London skyline, and the vibe kept its elegant, high-profile energy all night. Mel B’s roster of guests filled the venue with energy and laughter, capping off a wedding day as unforgettable as any Spice Girls anthem.

This marks Mel B’s third walk down the aisle. Her previous marriages were to dancer Jimmy Gulzar and film producer Stephen Belafonte. Still, this time around feels more hopeful, especially after she received an MBE from Prince William in 2022 for her advocacy work against domestic violence—an honor that adds even more depth to her personal journey.

Everyone’s talking about this wedding—not just for the A-list crowd or fashion, but because Mel B, once “Scary Spice,” now takes on a new chapter as wife, mother, and advocate, still managing to captivate the public eye every step of the way.
