And ahead of her big day with Rory McPhee, Mel was seen rocking leopard print - a trademark look for the star.
Mel was surrounded by a group of people and seen chatting away on the phone donning casual attire.
Scary Spice opted for a white top and sliders, and donned large sunglasses and a cap as she chatted outside her luxury London hotel.
Her appearance comes after it was revealed that 51-year-old Victoria Beckham won't be attending the nuptials.
But making sure that Mel feels the love, she shared an Instagram tribute post ahead of her big day with Rory.
Posh Spice took to her Instagram stories to share a stunning snap of her and her bandmate looking all glammed up.
She added the sweet caption: "Sending love to you @officialmelb!
"@rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx."
Victoria, as well as fellow bandmate Geri, won't be at the ceremony.
Mel B's hen do celebrations
The MailOnline originally told how Victoria would be out of the country and therefore would not be present to watch Mel walk down the aisle.
A source said: "Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can't be there.
"She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It's a real shame.
"There is no issue between them, they haven't fallen out. It's just one of those things."
Meanwhile Geri is said to be absent because of her tense relationship with Mel.
The two women had a pretty big falling out when Mel B revealed that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out.
Mel made the confession while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan's Life Stories in 2019.
Geri was stunned and upset by Mel's admission, and even more saddened when Mel allegedly did not issue an apology.

EXCLUSIVE The special meaning behind Mel B's wedding dress revealed as she shuns her trademark leopard print for traditional bridal gown
Mel B was the epitome of a beautiful, blushing bride for her wedding to Rory McPhee at St Paul's cathedral on Saturday. The Spice Girl, 50, is famed for her love of leopard print, but opted for a traditional bridal gown as she walked down the aisle for a third time. Mel's gorgeous gown was a bespoke design by Evelie Bridal Boutiques and featured a sheer illusion design adorned with white pearls and a ruched bodice, with the singer adding a flowing to her bridal look. Speaking to MailOnline about Mel's decision to go for the dress, Evelie Bridal Boutiques' owner Caroline Black revealed the singer wanted to embody 'strength, sensuality, and timeless glamour.' She added: 'From the moment Mel walked through the doors at Evelie, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Helping a real Spice Girl choose her wedding dress - what could possibly top that? But what's truly made this experience so meaningful is getting to know Mel as just Mel [not the icon, but the woman. It's been such an honour.' The Spice Girl, 50, is famed for her love of leopard print, but opted for a traditional bridal gown as she walked down the aisle for a third time (pictured in 1997) Designer Josephine Scott added: 'Designing this gown for Mel was about capturing her fearless spirit and softness all in one look. 'She's iconic, powerful, and radiant — and this dress had to be worthy of that. Every detail was chosen to honour her strength and sensuality, while celebrating the woman and the love story beneath the girl power.' While Mel opted for a traditional gown, as did groom Rory, who wore Scottish attire complete with a red and green tartan kilt. Emma Bunton, the only other Spice Girl in attendance - led the celebrity guests arriving for the wedding as Scary Spice prepared to walk down the aisle for the third time. While Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Chisholm were absent - Emma ensured she was there to support her friend. Also in attendance was Mel's sister Danielle Brown, Daisy Lowe, Katherine Ryan and Gaby Roslin - who were dressed to impress for the ceremony. Emma echoed her Baby Spice days as she donned a bay pink mini dress worn with platform heels and a matching fascinator. She was accompanied by husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17, with both men looking dapper as they joined Emma for the ceremony. Danielle looked radiant in a blue floral mini dress as she headed into the cathedral with her children Mimi, Hendrix and Myla. Gaby, 60, also looked incredible as she opted for a nude midi dress with a sheer overlay that she paired with a long pink coat. Earlier in the day, staff were seen organising the cathedral for the ceremony - which Mel has been given permission to wed in because she was awarded an MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women. Giant bouquets of white flowers were seen being brought through the front doors ahead of the guests arriving. MailOnline understands that the nuptials will see Rory's brother Jordan act as best man, while pal James Steen will fill in as father of the bride in place of Mel's late father Martin Brown and walk her down the aisle. Mel's nieces will be flower girls.

The Spice Girl continued to tell the publication: "I've since had fittings in London and New York, so it's a perfect blend of my love for Britain and America." And speaking of the type of ceremony she has organised, she explained that it will be "regal." She said: "This will be a very formal, English wedding where I want to feel regal and very proper. " She added: "All the ladies will wear hats or fascinators. Then, I'm having a second ceremony abroad, which will be more informal, sexy, and beautiful." Mel went on to say: "It's so important to feel completely in control of myself, from the way I look, to the place I live, to the people I surround myself with and the clothes that I wear." She continued: "My clothes, paid for with my money and chosen by me."
