Melanie C and her husband, Chris Dingwall, joined a glittering line-up of celebrities at the amfAR London gala, held at The Chancery Rosewood on Friday evening.
The 52-year-old Spice Girl embraced bridal-inspired style for the occasion, wearing a ruched white mini dress just three months after marrying Chris in July.
Her figure-hugging outfit was paired with perspex heels and a metallic silver clutch, creating a polished look for the high-profile charity event.
Melanie styled her brunette hair in loose waves and finished the ensemble with soft, glamorous make-up.
She arrived with Chris, who cut a smart figure in a black suit, crisp white shirt and formal dress shoes.
The gala takes place alongside Frieze Art Fair and the BFI London Film Festival, raising essential funds for HIV and Aids research.

Following their summer wedding, Melanie and Chris travelled to Ibiza, where they enjoyed an unconventional honeymoon alongside her family.
Chris shared a series of photographs from the getaway on Instagram, including images of himself shirtless and cuddling up to his wife, who wore a bikini, during a boat trip.
Melanie brought her mother, Joan, and stepfather, Dennis, along for the honeymoon with Chris. The couple’s family holiday moments also appeared in a later Instagram album shared by her husband.
In the caption, Chris wrote: ‘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 replied warmly in the comments: ‘Happy Birthday husband. I love you.’

Earlier this week, it emerged that Melanie’s new husband is divorced. He reportedly split from his former wife after a short marriage because the pair wanted different things in life.
Chris was previously married to an actress he met in his early twenties.
According to insiders, he began dating fellow Australian Tamara Salamacha after they met by chance in Barcelona. The pair later lived in London before travelling around the world together.
Their relationship came to an end 15 years ago, when Chris was focused on pursuing an acting career in Hollywood.

Should celebrities keep their relationships private or share their personal milestones with the public?
Chris met Mel – whose real name is Melanie Chisholm – on celebrity dating app Raya three years ago, with the pair’s first date in Sydney.
The relationship took another turn a year later when Chris surprised Mel by proposing in July 2025 during a romantic getaway in Mallorca, Spain.
Mel had openly sworn off marriage for many years, believing it would never be part of her future, but has since conceded that she had a change of heart, especially since turning 50 and wanting to ‘do all the things’.
A friend of Chris’s added: ‘He maintains a very low profile, particularly with his relationships.
‘He was based in LA for many years for work and he was surrounded by all sorts of celebrities, but he kept dating and various relationships very low profile.
‘What I know of Chris, he doesn’t chase the limelight, however is very drawn to it. He doesn’t want to be centre stage and would be happy for Mel to be there, but he has always had a lure for media.’
