Geri Halliwell breaks cover as she steps out at the F1 British Grand Prix after snubbing Mel B's wedding
The Spice Girl, 52, was notably absent as her former bandmate said 'I do' to her fiancé Rory McPhee at St Paul's Cathedral in London in front of a string of very A-list guests. She also failed to acknowledge the nuptials on social media.
The pair have a tempestuous relationship and at times have struggled to be in the same room without there being animosity.
But the wife of Red Bull Racing's Christian Horner broke cover at the sporting event as she stepped out in her usual all white look.
She was joined by her eight-year-old son, Monty, whom she shares with Christian as well as her daughter Bluebell, 19.
Geri continued to snub Mel B on Sunday after her lavish wedding weekend - while the likes of Heidi Klum, Paloma Faith and Kerry Katona led the stars sending the Spice Girl congratulatory messages following the ceremony.
The Spice Girl, 52, was notably absent as her former bandmate said 'I do' to her fiancé Rory McPhee at St Paul's Cathedral in London in front of a string of very A-list guests
A host of huge names were quick to comment under the 50-year-old singer's Instagram post this weekend where she shared a gorgeous loved-up snap with her new husband Rory at St Paul's Cathedral.
But one key pal was missing from the long list of names writing sweet messages for her on her big day and that was her Spice Girls band member Geri.
The pair have a tempestuous relationship and at times have struggled to be in the same room without there being animosity.
However other Spice Girl Victoria Beckham was quick to comment under Mel's post saying: 'Congratulations!!!!! We hope you had an amazing day!!!! X kisses xxxxxxxxc.'
Heidi Klum added: 'CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH. WISHING YOU LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE FOREVER.'
Alice Evans said: 'You deserve this! I'm so happy for you!'
Alexandra Burke posted simply saying: 'Congrats!'
Katie Piper added: 'Congratulations you deserve so much love and happiness
Robbie Williams' wife Ayda Field said under the post: 'Congratulations !'
Paloma Faith then added: 'Congrats my angel you deserve the world.'
It comes after Mel C shared a sweet snap of Mel B and her new husband as they celebrated their wedding day on Saturday.
Sporty Spice was notably absent as her Spice Girl bandmate said 'I do' to her fiancé Rory in London in front of a string of very A-list guests.
Mel was unable to attend no doubt due to scheduling conflicts, as she was performing in Sweden, but still wanted to share her excitement and happiness for the pair and took to her Instagram to share a photograph of the newlyweds.
Admitting that she was 'gutted' not to be there, she made reference to the fact they would all see each other and meet up in the not too distant future.
Posting some sweet words online, she gushed in the caption: 'So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!'
It comes after Geri has so far failed to acknowledge her Spice Girl's bandmate star-studded nuptials.
Ginger Spice, 52, has so far not mentioned the wedding on her social media, with no posts emerging on her Instagram page throughout the day.
Victoria also missed the ceremony but did share a sweet black and white throwback of herself and the bride with bandmates Geri, Mel C and Emma to her Instagram.
Posh, 51, captioned the snap: 'Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx'
Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl to attend.
Hours earlier, Victoria had also posted another tribute to the couple on Friday with a photograph of herself and Mel looking glamorous together at a recent event.
She gushed in a caption: 'Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx'
Ahead of the wedding, sources told the Mail that there was no bad blood between Victoria and Mel but was simply a scheduling conflict.
They 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.'
As for Geri, she and Mel have a tempestuous relationship and at times have struggled to be in the same room without there being animosity.
The two women went to war after Mel B revealed that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan's Life Stories programme.
Geri was said to have been deeply upset by the bombshell revelation in 2019, for which Mel has apparently never apologised.
Sources also say that Geri's husband Christian Horner was 'mortified' about Mel's claims.
Though the other Spice Girls were absent, Emma was in attendance and looked gorgeous in a stylish pink dress as she stepped out to support Mel B.
Emma was accompanied by husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17, with both men looking dapper for the big day.
After heading out of the cathedral, Baby Spice kindly stopped and signed her autograph for an eager fan.
Mel walked down the aisle for the third time in front of her celebrity friends on Saturday afternoon as she finally became Mrs McPhee.
She looked every inch the blushing bride in a pearl-adorned white gown as she married Rory during the stunning ceremony.
Her gown featured a sheer illusion design adorned with white pearls and a ruched bodice, with the singer adding a flowing veil to her bridal look.
Meanwhile, groom Rory, 37, opted for traditional Scottish attire complete with a red and green tartan kilt.
Mel arrived in a white Bentley to her wedding and flashed a radiant smile and adjusted her veil as she prepared to head inside.
Meanwhile, Mel's children Phoenix Chi, Madison and Angel Iris were all smiles as they arrived to see their mother walk down the aisle.
Phoenix, 26, looked lovely in a blue silk dress and coordinating fascinator, and was accompanied by partner AJ Anderson.
Sibling Angel, 18, who now identifies as a male, looked smart in a black suit, while sister Madison, 13, caught the eye in a bright pink dress and matching head piece.
Celebrities in attendance include TV presenters Gaby Roslin and Angellica Bell, comedians Katherine Ryan and Alan Carr.
Leigh Francis, Cara Delevingne as well as the Spice Girls' former manager Simon Fueller were pictured at the ceremony.
Mel was able to get married at St Paul's Cathedral because of her OBE, which she got in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women, especially Woman's Aid.
It is the third time that Mel said 'I do' after first marrying Dutch backing dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998.
And when she wed Stephen Belafonte in 2007, they eloped to Las Vegas before holding a vow renewal in Egypt the following year.
Mel and Stephen separated in 2016 when she accused him of emotional and physical abuse, which he has always denied.
His lawyers said that during the marriage they spent her £50million fortune.
Mel grew close to Rory after the breakdown of her marriage to Stephen.
Last year, she said: 'He's a family friend, great hairdresser... when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments...
'And as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship.'

Adoring pictures show the teary moment Kate Middleton broke royal protocol in the 'nicest' way at Wimbledon
Each year, millions of sports enthusiasts tune in to watch the oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament in the world. For Kate, the Princess of Wales, the Wimbledon Championships is more than just a game; it's a 'quintessential part of the English summer'. Those lucky enough to get tickets to watch in person get through around 140,000 punnets of strawberries and 10,000 litres of cream. As Kate is expected to return to the royal spotlight on July 8 for the state visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, royal observers are eager to catch a glimpse of the princess at this year's championships. Kate, who has been patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, was tasked with handing out the winners and runner-up trophies at Wimbledon in 2023. Tunisian tennis player Ons Jabeur was tearful after coming runner-up in two consecutive finals. It was a tough time for the athlete as she also lost at the US Open Final that year. As Kate presented her with her runners-up prize, the two stopped to talk. Kate, known for her kind gestures, offered words of encouragement and embraced the visibly distressed athlete in a break from royal protocol. Tunisian tennis player Ons Jabeur was tearful after coming runner-up in two consecutive finals. It was a tough time for the athlete as she also lost at the US Open Final that year In an interview, Jabeur said: 'Obviously, she was very nice. She didn't know if she wanted to give me a hug or not. I told her hugs are always welcome from me.' When she was asked what Kate had said to her, she added: 'Same thing after last year. To encourage me to be strong, to come back and win a Grand Slam, win a Wimbledon.' The Princess has been a fan of the sport since childhood, with the royal telling Sue Barker in a 2017 BBC documentary: 'I have watched Wimbledon, that was very much part of my growing up. 'I think it really inspires youngsters, myself, it inspired me when I was younger to get involved in the game. It hasn't changed either, I think that's what's so wonderful.' Speaking to Hello!, Jabeur added that the Royal initiated the warm embrace, noting her kind energy was a significant support: 'She was really the nicest. She has watched me twice, losing the final twice. 'She kept asking me if she could hug me, and I was like, "Who doesn't want a hug from a Princess, you know?" 'For me, it was such an amazing moment. And not just that, I felt her kindness and energy around me.' This comes as the tennis star had to retire just 26 minutes into the first round during this year's tournament. Jabeur needed medical assistance midway through the first set but ultimately withdrew from her match with Viktoriya Tomova. As this year's tournament is well underway, the likes of John Cena, Thomas Tuchel and Olivia Rodrigo have all been part of the star-studded line-up in the Royal Box. The courtside Royal Box has served as a VIP area since 1922 and includes access to a private clubhouse for lunch, along with a 'smart' dress code. Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, made her first Wimbledon appearance in more than two decades as she was spotted on the first day of the renowned tennis competition with her daughter, Princess Beatrice. It's the first time the ex-wife of Prince Andrew has been seen at the prestigious tennis tournament since 2000 when she watched Venus and Serena Williams during the semi-finals of the women's singles. However, during the tournament, the duchess wasn't seated in the Royal Box, which she had often graced alongside Princess Diana between the 1980s and 1990s. Last year, Kate was joined by her daughter, Princess Charlotte, and her sister, Pippa Matthews, for the men's final, marking her second major appearance of the year amid her cancer treatment. The only time the Princess missed the tournament was in 2013 when she was weeks away from welcoming her first child, Prince George. Hugs all round: 15. Vondrousova of the Czech Republic, still holding the winners trophy, hugs a tearful Jabeur of Tunisia as she leaves the court This isn't the only time Kate has broken royal protocol by swapping a stiff handshake for a hug. Like the late Princess Diana, Kate has a natural charm which gives her an advantage when it comes to winning over public affection. During a visit to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' London headquarters in February 2018, Kate saw Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent - the midwife who helped deliver Princess Charlotte in 2015 - and gave her an enormous hug. According to the Royal Family website, it suggests that upon meeting royalty, men should bow from the neck and women should dip into a small curtsey. The same rules follow when you address a royal. It's Your Royal Highness on the first meeting and subsequently Sir or Ma'am. But as royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told MailOnline: 'The Queen once told Michelle Obama that royal protocol is rubbish, meaning that the Royal Family adapt it when it is appropriate to do so.' Kate has often flexed the rules of royal protocol by giving out hugs and chatting extensively to adoring fans. It seems rules are meant to be broken as even Prince William has strayed from royal protocol when he hugged 78-year-old Fatima Jafari, who lost her husband in the Grenfell Tower fire. As Wimbledon is an event which the princess holds so close to her heart, royal observers are desperate to see Kate at the tournament. In the meantime, eagle-eyed fans will be keeping their eyes out for celebrities in the Royal Box.
