Mel B was called a 'true role model' by pal Victoria Beckham after receiving an MBE for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.
After meeting Prince William to collect her MBE, she celebrated her achievement with mum Andrea, close friend Victoria as well as her mum Jackie Adams.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Posh Spice shared a group photo of the women enjoying an evening of celebrations.
"A special night celebrating @officialmelb! [heart emoji] @womens_aid @jackie.adams_ (We're all wearing VB)."
The women all looked stunning in their special Victoria Beckham-designed ensembles.
Mel B, 46, looked elegant in the bright red dress from her pal's clothing brand.
Mel attended the ceremony in London on Wednesday and was accompanied by her proud mother.
Mel was greeted by Prince William, 39, who handed her the Member of the Order of the British Empire medal – which she later proudly posed with outside the palace.
Speaking to the Press Association about the MBE, Mel proudly explained: “I never thought I would be here getting this MBE for the work I’ve been doing.
“It’s amazing to have but it’s not just for me – it’s for all those other women.
“Especially because of Covid, there’s been such an epidemic of domestic violence, that’s been completely on the rise, and you know I’ve got an army of women behind me that need help and need to be heard."

She added: "So I’m their voice because we’ve all been through exactly the same story, so I don’t take it as it’s my award because it’s our award because we’ve survived."
After receiving her award, Victoria took to her Instagram Stories to gush over Scary Spice.
"I'm so proud of @officialmelb receiving her well-deserved MBE, Mel's work as a patron for @womens_aid raising awareness for domestic violence and supporting vulnerable women is so important," she said.
"From delivering reports on the economics of abuse to 10 Downing Street to featuring in an awareness-raising music video, Mel has continued to push for change and speak for women in need."
In another post featuring Mel B and her mum, Victoria called her friend a 'true role model'.
"A true role model, it was such an honour to dress you and your mum," the singer commented.
