Take a Break: Enjoy the 20 Most Epic Spice Girls Style Moments

by Hannah Almassi

Once upon a time, the Spice Girls were my everything: I was a member of Spice Girls official fan club and bought countless Spice Girls–related merchandise (the Impulse can was a particular high point). I collated folders and folders of Spice Girls coverage for goodness knows what reason (early journalistic skills, perhaps?), and posters of the famous five plastered my walls. Their music made up the sounds of my childhood to the point where I even recorded a video homage of "Wannabe" with my friends as we walked backwards through her house in bubble platforms and lycra flares. Mel B was my icon, and I still love leopard print as strongly now as I did then. Obviously, the Girl Power mantra was key, but their fashion choices at the time always had me hooked.

With different options coming from Posh, Ginger, Baby, Scary and Sporty, a young girl could switch up her look in the flick of a ponytail—one day you could be wild and loud like Geri, and on another, you could be sleek like Victoria. These days, a treasure trove of their most outstanding outfits have been forgotten, with many of us only recalling the most obvious moments like VB's little black dress collection or Geri Halliwell's Union Jack mini. So much more exists in the archives, friends, so I encourage you to take a break and scroll through the gallery below to discover the best Spice Girls style moments of all time.

Oh, Charles, you just didn't know what was about to hit you. Mel B looks very A/W 17 in her red suit, but Geri in that ice skating–meets-princess combination will forever be in my heart.

We can all conjure up the image of Halliwell wearing her Union Jack dress at the Brit Awards, but let's not forget Victoria's triangle bikini bravery here. Also, cute Mary-Janes.

Mel B's cone hairdo: A short-lived phase but one that's not easy to forget.

Further proof that everyone suits a different trouser shape. Also, that this was a pivotal time for push-up bras.

This era was all about the business-casual ratio for fashion lovers: Think serious specs or pinstripes worn with something sassy

And that's how a colour theme should be executed by a girl group.

To this day celebrities still channel Jessica Rabbit, just as Geri Halliwell did. And no one could forget Victoria's risqué look at the 1997 Brit Awards.

All the classics are in here: Posh in an LBD, Geri wearing a showgirl outfit, Mel B in leopard, Baby in a babydoll and Mel C making athleisure a thing decades before it happened.
