The Spice Girls legacy reaches far beyond their musical achievements. In addition to their poignant calls to “spice up your life” and “zig-a-zig-ah,” the Spice Girls also left their mark on the fashion’s collective memory with their bold dizzyingly-high go-go boots, Union Jack dresses and leopard print duster coats.

Viva is not, as it turns out, forever. At tonight’s London premiere of the Spice Girls musical, Victoria Beckham chose to walk to red carpet without her Girl Power counterparts.

Even without Posh Spice, Scary, Ginger, Baby and Sporty looked like they were having fun on the red carpet, but their wardrobe choices had us raising our eyebrows. Long gone are the days of coordinated outfits—and maybe that’s why Victoria Beckham opted to walk alone. Mel B’s black sequin dress with a thigh-high slit and extremely voluminous hair was fine, yes, and Emma Bunton’s cobalt blue lace-overlay on a black bodycon dress was also red carpet-appropriate. But Geri Halliwell looked completely out of place in a Cinderella-inspired prom dress, complete with curled updo. And Mel C’s army-green dress with glitter detailing looked sleek, but much too casual for a musical premiere.

Even worse, we regret to inform you that no one had platform heels on.

All girls (and some boys) growing up in the ‘90s will unabashedly admit that back in the day, we lived and breathed the Spice Girls. We knew all their songs, we learned how to pull off a questionable but convincing British accent and we definitely coveted every single one of their outfits. So news that we might be able to get our hands on Scary’s original leopard-print catsuit or Sporty’s many tracksuits in a charity auction gala has us way too excited. Proceeds from the auctioned off items, which will be sold at a gala event later this year, will go to Save the Children and Children in Need.

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.

People of the world, spice up your life! »
