Before girl power was carried by our standard bearer Beyoncé, most young girls looked heavenward to five Brits from across the pond.
The Spice Girls were the quintessential GIRL group whose SWEET beats and infectious tunes made anyone attempt to dance. They were one of the most influential groups in the world.
Spice-mania swept like the tropical superstorm that will eventually end humanity. Ever wonder what they look like?
No? Then why are you even here?
1. This was the group in all their glory when they broke onto the scene.
But let's take a look at how memory lane ended up...
2. THEN
So this was GINGER Spice, AKA Geri Halliwell, who was wearing this classic Union Jack dress back when she was performing on the Brit Awards in 1997.
3. NOW
She's now a bikini designer. Before that she took a shot at a solo career with "Look at Me". Halliwell gave birth to her daughter, Bluebell Madonna, in May 2006. Former Spice Girls Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton were her godmothers.
4. But what about Baby Spice??
5. THEN
Baby Spice was the cute, innocent one. Emma Bunton was technically the group's baby since she was the youngest band member. Here's how MUCH she's changed!
6. NOW
Baby Spice has her own babies these days with singer Jade Jones. From 2003 to 2012 she had a recurring role on BBC's Absolutely Fabulous. She's also shown up on Loose Women, Lorraineand Dancing on Ice too.7. THEN
This was Posh "Victoria Adams" Spice who was famous for her iconic pout, seriousness and her passion for designer labels. Like the others, she dropped her own album.
8. NOW
So it seems that Posh's fashion sense is hereditary since her family is on POINT. In 1999, she married soccer player David Beckham and they had four kids: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. She launched a KILLER fashion line and offered her judgement on American Idoland Project Runway.
9. Sporty Spice! Where you at?
10. THEN
Sporty Spice, AKA Mel C, was supposedly the most athletic member of the group and was the second youngest. She had one the biggest solo careers with 1999's Northern Star album selling four million copies. She's only gotten hotter...
11. NOW
Since leaving the group she's had a daughter named Scarlet back in 2009. She called it quits with her husband of ten years, property developer Thomas Starr. She's shown up in stage performances of Blood Brothersand Jesus Christ Superstar.
12. THEN
And finally, Scary Spice, AKA Mel B, was the member with the unrepentant tongue who was the most outspoken! In 2000, she dropped her solo album, Hot.
13. Does she still rock the house like this!!?
14. NOW
Mel B has arguably been around the most places since the group disbanded. In 2012, she was ambassador for International Fitness Week in London. She is a mother to three children, two with Eddie Murphy and another with dancer Jimmy Gulzar. She competed on Dancing with the Stars and became a judge on America's Got Talent.
15. SPICE GIRLS FOREVER!
