Wearing a black dress, Alessia, 27, was spotted next to Toone looking super-glam in photos shared on Instagram.

The carousel of pics showed the Arsenal star holding a white rose as she flagged her pal.

In other snaps, Alessia can be seen smiling for the camera with her fellow bridesmaids.

Alessia captioned the sweet post: "The most magical day celebrating my best friend and her soulmate! Love you both 🤍".

Manchester United star Ella, 26, tied the knot with Joe in the grounds of private country estate Colshaw Hall in Cheshire.

Both Ella and Joe, 32, matched in white as they were spotted strolling through the venue's endless gardens.

Stunning Ella wore a classic cowl neck dress, which showed off her near £2k Van Cleef & Arpels necklace.

While husband Joe looked very dapper in a white tux, black bow tie and waistcoat as he beamed down at her.

Joe has previously played for the likes of Bolton, Northampton Town and Rochdale.

He last played for non-league Nantwich Town and works as a coach.

The newlyweds were seen smiling ear-to-ear as they posed for snaps on their big day.

Footballers Ella and Joe cuddled up after the ceremony, which took place in the venue's ceremony hall – The Stables.

Alessia was joined by their other famous pals Mary Earps, Lauren Hemp, Keira Walsh, Taylor Hinds and Lucy Bronze.

But that was not all – Beth Mead, Georgia Stanway, Millie Turner, Katie Zelem and Jess Park were also spotted in attendance.

Ella and Joe married after having been together for five years.

Joe popped the question while they were holidaying in Ibiza, getting down on one knee in front of an extravagant love heart made entirely of red roses.

Alessia's appearance comes after her star turn as a pundit for ITV Sport during England's game against Panama.

Fans went wild for her trendy outfit as she gave her analysis on the game.

She wore a black adidas jacket with a snakeskin pattern, over an adidas-striped tailored skirt.

Her supporters flocked to social media to show their appreciation for the outfit.

One fan wrote: "Alessia Russo at the World Cup supporting the men, she looks amazing!"

Another added: "Alessia Russo looking 1000/10 as always."
