Mel C dons plunging dress as she braves the London cold for Abbey Road premiere

Melanie Chisholm looked sensational as she braved the harsh weather for a night out on Monday.

The Spice Girls singer, 48, wore a navy blue and black striped mini dress with a plunging neckline and flashed her black bralet as she attended the premiere of the Disney+ documentary If These Walls Could Sing at Abbey Road Studios in London.

Despite the frosty weather conditions across the country at the moment, Mel rocked bare legs for the outing as she completed her ensemble with a pair of chunky black ankle boots.

The mum-of-one beamed as she posed for snaps on the red carpet before heading in to watch the documentary that tells the 'untold story' of the iconic Abbey Road studio.

The Disney+ feature sees Mary McCartney guide viewers through nine decades to see and experience the creative magic that makes Abbey Road the most famous and longest-running studio in the world.

Sir Elton John, Noel Gallagher and Sir Paul McCartney, along with archival footage and session tapes, all make an appearance in the star-studded documentary.

Beatles rocker Sir Paul was joined by former bandmate Ringo Starr at the premiere, ahead of the documentary being released on December 16.

Mel's appearance on the red carpet on Monday night comes following the singer's admission that a cruel comment about her legs during the early days of the Spice Girls sparked a long struggle with eating disorders.

Speaking on Loose Women earlier this month, the Never Be The Same Again singer recalled how a remark about the size of her thighs as a young girl led to her cutting out certain food types before other catalysts eventually triggered eating disorders.

Mel explained to the panel during her time on the ITV show how she was reluctant to pen her debut memoir, released earlier this year, as she "felt quite scared to go back to some of those times".

"It was really early on in the Spice Girls journey and I did a backflip," Mel began as she recalled the story herself.

She continued: "Someone commented how they were surprised I could do a backflip with 'thighs that big'.

"I never had any body image issues up until that point, I was what we would deem as a slim person."

The When You're Gone singer went on to recall how the renark gave her imposter syndrome and sparked fears she wasn't good enough to be in the band.

Sporty Spice explained: "At that point, the thought that I didn't look right was so terrifying to me. I was thinking 'do I deserve this? Am I right to be doing this?'

"That is what started me eliminating food groups - it started quite innocently - and then there were other catalysts along the way."
