Mel B is joined by Spice Girl pals Mel C and Emma Bunton as she celebrated her 50th birthday – but there’s no sign of Geri Halliwell-Horner or Victoria Beckham

BBG News

Recently, she celebrated her 50th birthday, and on Saturday evening, Mel B along with several other Spice Girls, marked this significant occasion by partying in a stylish manner.

On her special day, the birthday girl deliberately drew most of the focus by reminiscing about her time in a popular girl band. She achieved this style-wise by wearing a sparkling minidress in leopard print with bold shoulder pads.

She fashioned her signature serious expression, known as the Scary pout, and neatly pulled her dark hair up into a high bun.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about how the ex-X Factor judge truly outdid herself on that special night! She stood tall and radiant in her stunning open-toe heels, gracing the event alongside her partner Rory McPhee and our beloved Angel, 18, and Phoenix, 26. The Leeds evening was nothing short of glamorous as we all admired her grace and charm!

Additionally, Emma Bunton and Mel C showed up, however, Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell-Horner, the other Spice Girls members, were not present at the event.

In a bold leopard print mini dress that showcased her hard-won popstar stature, Emma, aged 49, confidently presented herself.

The striking woman, known for her blonde beauty, showcased her long, elegant legs while walking alongside her husband, both a renowned singer and chef, named Jade Jones.

For over two decades, this couple seemed to radiate even more affection as they entered the Habbibi restaurant, hand in hand.

Jade sported an equally chic appearance while wearing a trilby hat, an open-necked patterned shirt, and black trousers paired with loafers.

Keeping true to her ‘sporty’ roots was Mel C who also arrived with her other half, Chris Dingwall.

Mel donned a long, V-neck maxi dress by Adidas, featuring a leopard pattern, priced at approximately £55. She accessorized this outfit with Nike Air Max 90 shoes that sported a similar leopard design as well.

The fifty-year-old vocalist adorned herself with a Gucci shoulder bag and gleefully took photos alongside her Australian model beau.

Since they made their relationship official at the Glastonbury Festival in June of last year, this love-struck pair has been virtually glued together ever since.

Also in attendance was Leigh Francis and his wife Jill Carter. 

It comes as Victoria, Geri, Mel C and Emma, paid tribute to the star on social media on Thursday.

Posting a picture of the duo from the ’90s, Geri expressed: “#Celebrating your 50th birthday, @officialmelb! Wishing you an exceptionally fantastic year to come!

On her 51st birthday, Victoria posted an endearing flashback photo taken with her partner back in 1998, during their visit to Tokyo, Japan.

She captioned the snap: ‘Happy birthday @officalmelb!! Kisses xx’.

Emma, aged 49, shared three charming photos featuring herself and Mel throughout the years with the caption: “Wishing a happy 50th birthday to @officialmelb! I’m not too far from catching up with you!

‘From zig ah zig ah to belly laughs. Hope you have the best day. Sending love and birthday hugs.’ 

50 years of life on Earth, dear @officialmelb! The thrilling escapades we’ve shared! I can still recall the day we first crossed paths, and thinking you were the most amazing individual I had ever come across. Now it seems like yesterday, but over 30 years have passed since then?!

I am incredibly proud of all that we have accomplished together, and the way you’ve turned obstacles into opportunities to assist others is truly inspiring. You are like a beacon of strength, and my admiration for you goes beyond what words can express.

‘Looking forward to BIG celebrations soon! Happy Birthday you Northern nutter.’ 

In the year 1994, the group known as the Spice Girls was created, consisting of members Victoria (Posh Spice), Geri (Ginger Spice), Mel B (Scary Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), and Mel C (Sporty Spice).

This ensemble unveiled popular tracks like “Wannabe” (1996), which significantly boosted their professional trajectory, along with “2 Become 1” (1996) and “Viva Forever” (1997).

In the midst of their triumphs, a movie featuring the Spice Girls called “Spice World” was unveiled in cinemas, earning a significant amount at the box office.

However, in 2000, the group went on a hiatus while members focused on their own solo careers.

As a devoted fan, I was thrilled to witness the reunion of the Spice Girls from 2007 to 2008 during their spectacular Return of the Spice Girls Tour. And then, what an unforgettable moment it was when they graced the stage once more for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London!

In the year 2019, the collective reunited for another Spice World Tour, yet Beckham opted out this time around.

Back in March, Mel B hinted at a Spice Girls reunion to celebrate their 30th anniversary while making an appearance on the show “Loose Women,” adding fuel to existing rumors about their potential comeback.

She declared, “Without a doubt, we’re taking action this year. I might face reprimands for saying so, but here goes: We’re definitely doing something.

In February, Melanie C shared with The Sun about Mel B, saying, “I deeply care for her, and there’s a certain quality that occasionally lands us in tricky situations. We regularly keep in touch and are open to exploring new opportunities together.

It’s great to perform again alongside my fellow artists, but everyone seems to have unique ideas or approaches. It’s challenging to find a common ground and synchronize our plans simultaneously.

She commented, “However, Melanie tends to focus on materializing ideas and believes that repeating them frequently will make them come true. As for the immediate future, I can’t definitively say anything is in store, but we’re constantly discussing potential chances.

In April, Victoria discussed the possibility of the Spice Girls reconvening for their 30th anniversary during a conversation with Radio France.

As a die-hard fan, I’m part of our exclusive group chat where I regularly interact with these amazing ladies. It’d be just splendid if we could arrange something special to commemorate the occasion – perhaps a shared dinner or lunch, where we can reminisce about our favorite moments together. However, rest assured, it will remain purely as a celebration and nothing more.
