I actually really thought she wouldn't do that

This is what i dont understand. What exactly is the reasoning behind not wearing 'plain white', to a wedding?? I thought it was so the guest doesn't get confused for the bride which is odd enough, (surely your guests know who you are?) but it also seems to be anything with white in it. Why would anyone confuse halliwell's outfit for the bride? first of all she's not 'Sporty' the bride, second, the actual bride is very clearly looking bridal in full white.

It’s the bride’s big day and she gets to wear white; it’s a sign of respect not about being mistaken for the bride. If you and your friends don’t care then crack on, but there’s nothing wrong with brides who don’t want other women wearing white to their wedding.

I wouldn’t care if I was the bride. Mel B looks like she ordered something off Shein at the last minute. Emma’s is meh

Lol

What a cow. It wasn’t her day

Rantypanties · 19/07/2026 20:53

Mel B’s dress looks cheap, which is a shame, and I lost the last shred of respect for Geri when she made wearing white her whole personality.

Mel C always looks low key beautiful and she so deserves all the praise after the shit she got from the media in her younger years. I really hope her new husband isn’t the kind to mess her about cause she deserves all her success and happiness.

I think they all look great! No need to shred them online. Hope they had a fabulous day.

Well I've always rolled my eyes at the 'No One But The Bride Should Wear White' rule, I've always thought it was petty and small minded and that I wouldn't care if it was my wedding...but seeing this photo has changed my mind. Were Geri holding the flowers, I wouldn't be able to tell who had just got married (clearly I also know the back story, but I would need that info)

Even if the dress code was cream or off white, she could have chosen something less wedding worthy.

Mel C is turned to the side in that pose..clearly subconsciously she realises she doesn't stand out next to Geri.

Mel Bs dress is also terrible. Emma's outfit is quirky but ok.

None are what I would expect of people who must all be reasonably well off and well acquainted with a few designers.

BillieWiper · 19/07/2026 20:56

Long dresses swamp Gezza. She should have worn something mid length.
Mel B dress is horrendous and looks like suburban teenage club wear from Shein.

SummerSpringWater · 19/07/2026 20:57

Geri would look great in emerald green with that red hair

They are all 50 something? Bloody hell. Wear whatever ladies, you are clearly not from round these parts.

SilenceInside · 19/07/2026 21:01

I find it fascinating that the assumption is that Geri chose an outfit that went against a dress code or was something that would upset the bride. Based on nothing at all. They all chose to wear whatever they wanted and all look like they had a lovely time. Wonderful. I don’t get the urge from people to rip into them for their choices.

Yeah she's alright. I just don't like the dress.

I'm definitely not a fan of Geri though who lies about being a bereaved child to sell dreadful kids books and lies about her age and what school she went. Just unnecessary bullshit constantly.

Mel C is the only one who can sing.

Phonicshaskilledmeoff · 19/07/2026 21:04

Looks lovely and nothing like a bridal gown. I don’t even think it’s actually white.

GallopingConsumption · 19/07/2026 21:07

Yeah I had to look carefully to see which was the bride.

The bride's dress should "pop" in the photos and for this, it helps if nobody else wears v light colours. (An exception is made for men's shirts)

Victorius19 · 19/07/2026 21:07

I don't get why Geri has made wearing white/off white her entire personality. It washes her out, and with her colouring she needs to wear strong colours. Just makes me think she's just swapped her eating disorder for another form of controlled behaviour, quite sad really.

As for Mel C's dress, it's just another VB nightie that's too long but she looks happy in it and that's all that matters.

TBF none of them would pass the Mums Net white test.

Was just thinking that!

OwlCalledSage · 19/07/2026 21:11

Where was Victoria? I’d have liked to see her scowling in one of her nighties.

SummerSpringWater · 19/07/2026 20:50

Mel c does look amazing, she looks more like Victoria as she’s got older

She cannot look amazing if she looks like vicky b!!!

Backedoffhackedoff · 19/07/2026 21:17

Tbf she’s wearing a shirt and skirt, it’s not like she looks like a bride
mel c looks fab- love that she wore VB

Oh that made me laugh !!!

OonaStubbs · 19/07/2026 21:21

I think Victoria is in America for the World Cup.

Neveranynamesleft · 19/07/2026 21:21

They can wear what they want....what they really really want....who cares....

Scowling at everyone there instead. Misery of a woman.

I kind of like Emma’s suit?

I think Emma looks great.

dirtytiles · 19/07/2026 21:24

Why is white clothes her thing? I don’t understand
