Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm explained why Victoria Beckham missed her wedding to model and actor Chris Dingwall, pointing to a scheduling conflict with FIFA World Cup commitments in New York according to an interview on Australian radio station KIIS 1065. Chisholm married Dingwall in July, later sharing wedding footage with British Vogue and posting photos of the event and guests on Instagram on Aug. 2.
Why Victoria Beckham Missed the Ceremony
Victoria Beckham was in New York with David Beckham for a football final during the World Cup, according to Chisholm’s interview on KIIS 1065. “So, Victoria was very disappointed to not be there,” Chisholm said. “She tried to get out of it. She isn’t the biggest football fan, she won’t mind me telling you. But the family were there and David had commitments being an ambassador for FIFA.”
Despite her absence, Beckham contributed to the bride’s wardrobe. Chisholm thanked Beckham in an Instagram caption for designing her wedding dress, and noted on KIIS 1065 that Beckham designed her “gorgeous dress.” Chisholm also stated, “And she was messaging me on the day, and I actually saw her when I was in Ibiza. So we had a little catch up. So yeah, we were giving her updates and sending her pictures.”
During the tournament, Victoria and David Beckham attended several FIFA World Cup matches, including stops in Los Angeles, Miami, and the July 19 final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey alongside their sons Cruz and Romeo Beckham.

Chisholm also addressed Halliwell-Horner wearing a white floral dress to the ceremony during her KIIS 1065 appearance. “I did have a chat with her because it is her favorite color, she wears it every day … but she did have a beautiful floral dress on and it was white.
