Overview

  • Mel B hosted a leopard-print themed party at Habbibi in Leeds, celebrating her 50th birthday with family, friends and fiancé Rory McPhee.
  • Mel C and Emma Bunton honored Scary Spice’s signature look in coordinated leopard outfits, while Victoria Beckham cited work commitments and Geri Halliwell-Horner declined the invitation.
  • Both Beckham and Halliwell-Horner posted nostalgic throwback photos and birthday messages on social media despite missing the in-person festivities.
  • Longstanding friction between Mel B and Geri Halliwell-Horner, including past public spats at Victoria Beckham’s 50th, contributed to the duo’s continued distance.
  • The group’s ex-manager is reportedly in talks to reunite the Spice Girls as digital avatars, following a model similar to ABBA’s virtual comeback.
