Mabel looks ethereal in a white strapless gown as she poses with mother Neneh Cherry at stunning bridal shower ahead of wedding to Sony Music exec Preye Crooks
Mabel was a vision in a white strapless gown when she threw a stunning bridal shower in London ahead of her wedding to Sony Music executive Preye Crooks.
The British singer, 29, looked ethereal in the ruffled number as she celebrated with joy alongside her mother Neneh Cherry.
The songwriter - who is the daughter of English music producer Cameron McVey and Swedish singer Neneh - couldn't contain her excitement as she was snapped beaming from ear to ear.
The Mad Love hitmaker took to her Instagram with a carousel of moments from the bash, which was held in a stunning outdoor garden.
'It takes a village and ours is STRONG ❤️' she captioned her post.
Mabel smiled as she posed next to her famous mum Neneh, 61, who stunned in a silky laced turquoise gown.
The Finders Keepers singer also shared a heart-melting throwback snap of herself as a child.
Tables were set and adorned with gorgeous flowers bouquet for guests in attendance, with British TV host Miquita Oliver among them.
Her fiance Preye, 33, was also at the gathering - at one point taking part in a game which involved him sitting back-to-back with Mabel.
Preye is an A&R executive at Sony Music and co-founder of the Strawberries & Creem festival. He is also the son of Spurs legend and BBC football pundit Garth Crooks, 67.
The couple began dating in 2021 and announced their engagement last year with a lavish party, where Mabel debuted a custom-designed diamond ring from LA jewellers Jewelry Palace.
Guests watched the loved-up pair slow dance under rose petals and candles, with friends describing the moment as 'so deserved' and 'magical'.
Mabel - full name Mabel Alabama-Pearl McVey - has long been surrounded by musical royalty.
Her mother, Neneh Cherry, rose to fame with her 1989 album Raw Like Sushi, and her father Cameron McVey is a legendary producer behind acts like Massive Attack and All Saints.

The pop star first made waves in 2017 with her breakout hit Finders Keepers, and went on to release her platinum-selling debut album High Expectations in 2019. In 2020, she won the Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist.
Fans and friends flooded the comments of her bridal shower post with well-wishes. AJ Odudu commented: 'So beautiful!!! Congratulations', while singer Kamille wrote: 'Beauttttt bb!! '.
Artist Mike Hough added: 'Seeing one of my favourite people happy makes me SO happy… this is DESERVED. I love you ❤️.'
