Mel B confirms Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham has designed her wedding dress and reveals the iconic London landmark where she will tie the knot
Mel B's wedding to fiancé Rory McPhee will include a personalised touch as she revealed Victoria Beckham has designed one of her bridal gowns.
The singer, 48, has reunited with her Spice Girl bandmate, 49, in preparation for the big day and has entrusted the fashion designer with the important task of creating both her and the mother of the bride's dress.
Mel also revealed she will tie the knot in at iconic London landmark St. Paul's Cathedral after being granted special permission to marry at the venue due to the MBE she received in May 2022 for services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.
Appearing on Monday's episode of Today with Hoda & Janna, Mel revealed: 'Victoria actually designed my dress and my mom's dress. It's such a beautiful honour to get.'
Mel revealed in September 2023 that Victoria was keen to design the dress, and it seems the star has kept her word.

The singer also revealed she is planning three outfit changes for her big day and has her eye peeled for two more dresses.
She explained: 'I don't think it would be fair to just have one. Just have as many as you want — at least three, right?'
'I'm going to really go for it,' she continued. 'One to actually get married in, which is the proper ceremony — very proper at this church, St. Paul's [Cathedral].
'And then maybe I want to change out of that and be a bit more less… You know, I actually don't know!'
Mel previously revealed during a radio appearance on 2Day that she had her heart set on one of the most famous wedding venues in England, St. Paul's Cathedral.
She said at the time: 'Because I have an MBE I can get married at the same place Princess Diana married Charles. I'm still waiting to here back from St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
'We have put all our forms in and we are just waiting on them to give us the day.'
It seems the couple's application has been accepted as Mel confirmed to Hoda and Jenna that the two would be wed at the famous venue.

Mel confirmed she was tying the knot with Rory back in November 2022 after three years of dating after he got down on one knee with a £100k diamond ring.
The singer has credited Rory for making her feel 'more confident than ever' after being called 'fat and ugly' during her marriage to ex Stephen Belafonte.
The Spice Girl claimed she suffered years of physical and mental abuse during her past relationship, which left her lacking self confidence.
Speaking in an interview in October 2023, Mel said her new partner calls her 'beautiful every day' as she recalled her abusive relationship with her second husband.
She told The Sun, that Stephen, whom she was married to from 2007 to 2017, would call her names. Mr Belafonte has denied the claims of abuse.
'He’d say, "You look old, you look fat, God, you are ugly, your arms are flabby" week in, week out,' Mel admitted.
'In a way, those comments are like rain. They seep right into you, they wash away self confidence, your sense of self and, when you look in the mirror, you don’t see a strong, happy woman — you see a reflection of what you’re told, "fat, ugly, old . . . worthless"
'It has taken me years but I feel more confident than ever now and I’m with a partner who tells me he loves me and tells me I’m beautiful every day. It all helps.'
Mel shares her youngest daughter Madison, 11, with Stephen and is also mother to her daughter Phoenix, 24, who she shares with her first husband Jimmy Gulzar, and Angel, 16, who she shares with Eddie Murphy.
