Though Victoria Beckham isn’t able to attend the headline-hitting wedding between Mel B and Rory McPhee herself, she sent her former Spice Girl bandmate the most incredible gift for her big day.
The 50-year-old’s ceremony is taking place in the OBE Chapel, right at the heart of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, and looks like a dream.
However, it seems that, despite her absence, Victoria managed to contribute to one of Mel’s wedding dreams coming true, in a subtle but touching way.
Attending her mother’s wedding, Phoenix Chi, the 26-year-old eldest daughter of the bride, showed up in a gorgeous blue silk dress, with a matching fascinator, that holds a very special meaning.

Mel B always wanted a Victoria Beckham dress for her wedding
In an exclusive interview with HELLO! ahead of the wedding, the Spice Girl revealed that she was seeking the help of her fellow bandmate to create a dress.
“Well, Victoria [Beckham] did say she’d be happy to make me a dress,” she revealed. “But I don’t want just one; I want to have many different dresses for that day or a week of celebrations. I’ve been married twice before, so, third time lucky.”
