Spice Girls' 'Wannabe' turns 25
Which Spice Girl are you?
Friendship never eee-ends! Neither will the allure of the Spice Girls, nor their iconic fashion style (or lack thereof). Twentyfive years ago five girls showed us what girl power is all about. From the importance of a girl squad to motivating each fan to wear whatever the frock she wants. The Spice Girls dominated the ‘90s and their bold looks still influence today’s trends. So why not spice it up and bring back their style in 2021? Dress as your favourite Spice Girl with the fashion inspo below and remember: there's a Spice Girl in every one of us.
Baby
Emma Bunton's wardrobe consisted of pretty much everything that's on trend today. Sweet pastel hues, big puffer jackets and playful mini dresses were the way to go. The Spice Girls truly wore what they wanted – what they really really wanted – how childlike, crazy or provocative it may have seemed.

Posh
Posh Spice always kept it, well, posh. With the little black dress as her signature outfit, for her less was more. She occasionally alternated her infamous mini dresses with crazy tight catsuits. Zig-a-zig-ah!

Ginger
Ginger Spice was the sassy girl of the bunch, with an undeniable flashy wardrobe that completely matched her personality. Bright colours and smooth fabrics that turned many heads. These colourful outfits you simply couldn’t ignore.

Scary
Scary Spice a.k.a. Melanie Brown was all about those flared trousers, cropped tops and animal prints. A wildly inspirational look, we must say.

Sporty
The original queen of athleisure wear must have been Melanie C. Despite athleisure wear's recent resurgence, Mel was the one to start it all. She was probably the most laid-back and least outspoken of the girl group.
