Melanie Chisholm married Chris Dingwall in an intimate ceremony on July 18 in Cumbria, England. Instead of the traditional sheer pink or milky white polishes brides typically favor, the singer opted for a striking, rich red.
The former Spice Girl extended the bold shade to both her fingernails and toes. The coordinated look proved that a classic red manicure is a timeless choice for any occasion.
A Custom Gown by a Former Bandmate
Chisholm walked down the aisle in a slip-style dress featuring elegant lace detailing. The gown was designed by her close friend and former bandmate, Victoria Beckham.
She paired the custom dress with a relaxed, loose, wavy hairstyle and almond-shaped nails. Photographer Andrew Timms captured the wedding and shared the images on Instagram.

The ‘Picante’ Polish Trend
This bold beauty decision wasn’t entirely impromptu. Chisholm wore a nearly identical red shade earlier in July at multiple events, establishing it as her signature color for the summer.
Her matching mani-pedi ties perfectly into the current ‘Picante pedicure’ trend dominating summer 2026. The spicy red hue is highly versatile, elevating everything from a casual t-shirt and jeans to a designer wedding dress.
