Today something magical happened: the Spice Girls reunited to announce plans for an upcoming musical and girls everywhere were instantly sent back in time to 1997. Sadly, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell will not be performing on stage—the musical, called Viva Forever!, will take inspiration from their songs in a Mamma Mia-esque manner and explore the “bitter realities of fame” through the story of a girl on a reality TV contest. Despite claiming that it will not be a tribute show, we can pretty much guarantee than anyone who did a grade school lip synch to “Stop (Right Now)” will be buying tickets (and a flight to London) come December.
Oh, and if you were too excited to notice: the Spice Girls made the announcement on the steps where “Wannabe” was filmed. (!!!) There’s no halting this ’90s rabbit hole we’ve all fallen into, so let’s continue: here are our top 10 most fashionable Spice Girls moments.

They said/We said: We chime in on what the future holds for the newest Beckham, Harper Seven
Romeo and Victoria Beckham shot by John Shearer/Getty Images After 12 years of breeding the future stars of men’s soccer, Victoria and David Beckham finally have a little girl to call their own. Born Sunday at 7:55 a.m., Harper Seven had fans taking to Twitter to insta-congratulate as well as to comment on the bundle’s name. While the team at Harper’s Bazaar was all for the shared moniker, most poked fun at the name. Even British political journalist Yvonne Ridley chimed in, saying, “[It] sounds like a toilet detergent to me.”
We can only imagine what a life little Miss Beckham will grow up to have—with the genes of a superstar athlete and a fashion-designer/pop-star/all-around supermom, the possibilities are endless. Will she fall into her mom’s love of fashion? Take up pop music à la Spice Girls? Perhaps she’ll follow her namesake, To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee, into a writing career. All we can say is: Look out, Suri!
