Melanie C Stuns in White Mini Dress at amfAR Gala with Husband Chris Dingwall
The singer made a radiant appearance with her husband at the charity event three months after their July wedding.
Melanie C, the Spice Girl known as Sporty Spice, and her husband Chris Dingwall attended the amfAR London gala held at The Chancery Rosewood on Friday evening. The singer, 52, opted for a bridal white ensemble, choosing a ruched mini dress for the occasion. Three months prior, in July, Melanie C married Dingwall.
Her form-fitting dress was complemented by perspex heels and a silver metallic clutch. Melanie C styled her brunette hair in waves and wore soft, glamorous makeup. Dingwall, her husband, appeared in a sharp black suit, white shirt, and dress shoes.
The amfAR gala, which coincides with the Frieze Art Fair and BFI London Film Festival, aims to raise funds for HIV/AIDS research. Other notable guests at the event included Rita Ora, Kelly Osbourne, DJ Fat Tony, Ed Westwick, Natasha Lyonne, Jeremy Irons, and Edward Enninful.
Following their summer wedding, Melanie C and Dingwall honeymooned in Ibiza with her family. Dingwall shared photos from the trip on Instagram, showing the couple enjoying a boat ride. Melanie C's mother, Joan, and stepfather, Dennis, were also part of the honeymoon, appearing in the social media album. Dingwall captioned the post, "It's been a big week! Bit on lately. Very grateful to be celebrating the big 4-6 in a very special place with some of the best people I know. Or you know for that matter." Melanie C responded with a sweet comment: "Happy Birthday husband. I love you."
It was recently reported that Dingwall was previously married. According to sources, he separated from his ex-wife because they desired different things in life. He was married to an actress whom he met in his early twenties. Their relationship reportedly ended 15 years ago while Dingwall pursued an acting career in Hollywood.
Chris Dingwall met Melanie Chisholm, professionally known as Melanie C, three years ago via the celebrity dating app Raya. Their first date took place in Sydney. A year later, in July 2025, Dingwall proposed to Melanie C during a romantic trip to Mallorca, Spain. Despite having previously sworn off marriage, Melanie C has since expressed a change of heart, particularly after turning 50 and wanting to embrace new experiences.
A friend of Dingwall's described him as someone who maintains a low profile regarding his relationships. He lived in Los Angeles for many years for work and was acquainted with many celebrities but kept his dating life private. This friend added that Dingwall does not seek the spotlight but is drawn to it, preferring Melanie C to be the center of attention while acknowledging his own attraction to media presence.
