Melanie Brown MBE has married her husband, Rory McPhee, again. The Spice Girls icon and hair stylist, Rory, had their legal ceremony in the UK just a number of weeks ago, tying the knot at the iconic St Paul’s Cathedral.

But last night, the musician, 50, and Rory, 37, married for the second time in Morocco, during a ceremony which oozed glamour and paid tribute to her fiery roots. The couple were joined by their closest friends and family, including Melanie’s three children from previous relationships, as well as her sister Danielle Brown, and Rory’s family.

Also on the guest list was Melanie’s Spice Girls bandmate, Melanie C, who had been unable to attend the St Paul’s ceremony due to work commitments as part of her huge tour. Speaking of the weekend, Melanie C said: “What a weekend!” The singer previously said her second ceremony would be “sexy”. Now, the Mirror can reveal an exclusive insight into Melanie and Rory’s second wedding. It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce’s lock screen.

Mel’s stunning wedding dress glistened under the Marrakesh sunshine with red crystals, in collaboration with Evelie and Justin Alexander. The pair tied the knot again at their favourite place, the Selman Hotel. In contrast to her regal white gown in London, Melanie opted for something a little spicier, reflecting on her personal style.

Previously, Melanie was guided by wedding dress legend Caroline Black from Evelie Bridal, who proudly helped the chart-mauling musician choose the perfect Josephine Scott dress for their UK ceremony. Meanwhile, she chose American designer, Justin Alexander, to reflect her current life, as she is splitting her time between Leeds and the US, where she is working on America’s Got Talent.

Evelie Bridal owner Caroline said: “For Mel’s Morocco wedding dress, we focused on trying Justin Alexander gowns with a little extra sparkle. Mel loved the idea of a red dress—something bold, with lots and lots of shimmer—but it also had to feel light and easy to move in.

“We drew inspiration from a variety of dresses she tried on at Evelie South Kensington, then went back and forth brainstorming with Justin Alexander and his design team. After several conversations and sketches, the first design took shape. Mel gave us clear feedback on what she liked and what she didn’t, and the final result was beautiful. Mel had such a strong sense of what she wanted—it was a joy working with her and Justin Alexander to bring her vision to life.”

Melanie and Caroline worked with Creative Director Justin Warshaw and Chief of Design Terri Hilferty to create the jaw-dropping, sheer gown, which oozed glamour, as well as flares. The silhouette was created entirely with hand-fitted red crystals and bulge beads, offering a mesmerizing floating effect throughout the bodice and skirt. The team was created by six artisans and took a staggering 850 hours to complete.

The sweetheart neckline of her dress was filled with red crystal detailing, eventually dispersing across the corset. Elsewhere, the asymmetrical detailing at the waistline added another touch of dimension. In true Mel B fashion, a daring side split revealed a glimpse of her toned legs, with crystal beading scattered down the length of her skirt.

Meanwhile, the back featured a lace-up corset and red ribbons, which highlighted her gym-honed physique, before eventually flowing off into a magical cathedral-length train. The musician completed her look with a Moroccan-inspired veil, custom-draped in mocha tulle and accented with red crystals to mirror the dress’s embellishments. The warm-toned veil blends seamlessly with the dress, offering a radiant, skin-toned glow. Crystals accent the veil’s crown and cascade delicately down the back drape, with additional sparkle scattered throughout the train to finish the look.

Melanie’s husband, Rory, who previously wore tartan and a kilt at the St Paul’s ceremony, opted for UK based designer, Alexander McQueen, and a traditional black tie look.

Speaking about the design, Justin Warshaw, CEO and Creative Director of Justin Alexander, said: “We had such an enjoyable time working with Mel. Every meeting felt like a creative burst of energy and laughter, and that spirit is absolutely woven into the dresses we created together.

“There was so much joy and trust in the process, and creating these dresses together felt like a true celebration of her love story and personal style.”
