Ginger Spice Tells the Story Behind Her Union Jack Dress | Vogue 

Funny that you mention the Versace jungle dress, Geri actually wore that very same dress a year BEFORE J-Lo at the NRJ awards in 1999!

A stylists job is to play it safe because if it backfires it's on them, not the person who was wearing it

reecewindsor10 - Who's Geri? Irrelevant, that's who! JLo made that dress, the dress didn't make JLo!

@@ejohnson3131 Considering the jungle dress revived Versace, you're probably onto something there.

itsjemmabond - Thanks! And yeah Versace was stagnant coming out of the 90's after Giani died and Donatella got into drugs. JLo pulled them out of that and Donatella has been extremely grateful for that. JLo wears Versace all the time and Versace features JLo in some shows as a guest of honor or actually walking on the runway and in some campaigns.

I find ginger more genuine too.

No, no no no. No.

@Julianne Lovesspiecgirl I agree. But she poses when she talks

But Posh spice is still very much posh!

Lady gaga mtv 2010 iconic meat dress

@@maha7504 I don't think lady gaga counts. And is not because I'm not a fan. I think the comment is talking about an specific outfit most people will think about if they think of someone wearing their most famous look. And before people say I'm hating on Lady Gaga.... I put Selena in that category too. 🤷‍♀️ I dont know how other people see Selena (Quintanilla) but in the Latino community she doesn't have a specific look. If someone tells me "Hey Taga, I'll dress like Selena this Halloween" I'll ask "what outfit? Skirt, bodysuit, pants? And what about the hair... Mid up mid down, elaborate bun, loose?" You know what I mean? So if someone tells me "I'll dress up like lady gaga" There's a chance I will not guess the outfit, But I'll have more chances to guess the marilyn monroe. So yes, lady gaga's outfit are iconic, but this is not the type of category to have her. In another list I'm pretty sure she will have 3 spots out of ten. In this list, she's not even considered.

Yup.

Nah, she just meant in the way that it had a Deep, Distinct, Decade-Defining style! Not that they were similar decades 😄 lol

Everyone was saying that during the 90s; it's not original

Without a revolution and Woodstock

For me the '90s were more like the '70s.

And I recon we are back! Minus recent pandemic events :(

Agree!

Yeah! Ginger always was my fave, I love her attitude. Make me fell some kinda proud of her.

Totally!!!

Right Sophia,I to agree.I am a great fan of hers.

That dress was iconic and she started a whole trend so smart of her I even after she wore that I wore a sweater with the British flag I felt so happy wearing it and I'm American 😁

Same!!!

I loved that quote as well.

I was listening to the video while reading the comments and read this at the same time she said it.

It's the reason why Geri feel confident to come back to Spice girls

This is a very weird thing. You shouldn't have to flaunt your body to feel confident ever in the first place regardless of your age. This kind of conditioning leads to the hypersexualization that is prominent in popular culture and media. No wonder younger women are fetishized.

Interesting that I've been that for a long time. I'm more confident covered up than showing myself to everyone. Also, who wants to shave their legs everyday? Not me lol

Well, she also had quite a bit of plastic surgery. She looks great but definitely touched by an angel a few times👌🏻👌🏻

its called money

definitely had a glow up. She married the F1 boss. She grew up in council housing estate, and her accent has become more refined along with how she carries herself. It seems like she had elocution and etiquette lessons.

She would appreciate this comment

@France Et companies people that cant afford it? That's like richer people generally look better BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD BEAUTY ENHANCEMENTS. I'm sick o the reply "so what about cosmetic surgery?" Uhm everything?

She married a billionaire in the UK. She is a duchess now

She looks like a lady. She dresses appropriately for a mature lady.

@@jamesfair9751 chrisitan and geri pretty much have the same net worth although i admit Christian does get paid 10mil$ a year

His face is falling apart.

Ryan Tan She’s 47, not 87. She doesn’t have enough neck wrinkles to dress like that. She looks dry and over civilized. Maybe it’s a single bad choice but plenty of mature women dress in appropriate yet fashionable and modern ways. Very bad outfit. You must be 20 to think 47 is that old... Everything about her is unrecognizable.

GugsGunny and Posh never aged at all.

I thought she was like...35 when she was in Spice Girls. Not sure if she aged well or just grew into her look. I mean: she was pretty, but not the "youthful" type of pretty

She's so pretty and classy and I could listen to her talk for hours!

Ketoonandoff heaps of help there with that one 🙏🏻😬🙏🏻

I honestly thought she looks old af... pretty but old

So true. So many iconic moments of pop culture and history started that way

@@MyFictionalChaos "well-behaved women seldom make history." I wholeheartedly agree with this quote.

@@SheWhoWalksWithLucifer Truth!

YESS! EXACTLY!

@Notre Aira weird, because a quick glance down the conscription and war death lists, shipping disasters survival lists etc shows what happens to well behaved men who do what they're told. but sure doing the dishes is rough.

Starla Arguijo this defines our age ... but proud of it !

omg 😭

Its sooo baadddd yet so fun to watch!!

Exactly.

Hahha Sporty

I love that too.

That's what clever stars do - defy expectation.

Obvious stage dressing, but yes

I wouldn't have expected anything less she's always been a princess!

ArdenBijou exactly ! So Posh !

Thats where I was confused lol. I was like posh?

Yessss!!! I basically wore that VHS to the bone in my childhood. I loved that movie so much

"Little Gucci dress OR my little gucci dress"

Which little black Gucci dress, though?

Some people are giving her a hard time, because she has changed into a posher person. Nothing wrong with that. Her wild days are far behind her, she is now a mature woman and acts like one. Go, Geri!

Christine Stuart-Monteith I completely agree, so happy for all of her success. She’s made a new path for herself and is enjoying life. That’s what matters.

So happy to see when young famous people turn out ok. Also she's fuckin GORGEOUS man! God bless! 😍

God Bear Agreed! God Bless!

I AM HERE FOR QUEEN GERI.

Same here! I was more upset about Geri leaving than my parents divorce. Her leaving was the first time I felt depressed in my life haha.

Lily Vazquez omg my parents got divorced the year Geri left. I was 7. I was def more upset about her leaving lmao

Geri was my favorite spice girl and she still is 😭😭 I was so heart broken when she left I was literally crying I was screaming in my pillow

I was older...18 years old, and yes she broke my heart too!

I'm feeling sad about her story of leaving and letting go 😂 Oh my still has an affect on some people, and watching Viva Forever thought that Geri is the one who got in, in that box and lost 😔 Nooo Geri don't go!

I was. So lucky. They were great times.

nah fam you would probably still be a loser then as much as you are now

Nils Sternby find some happiness mate.

@@vliciouss well it sure aint in the 90s

Nils Sternby duh. Find it now

True, in latín América she was the favorite, we were children and did'nt even knew her dress print was a flag and everyone wanted to look like her.

Parents $$$ made them. Parents of 10-14 yo children

She had such a strong instantly recognisable brand..

Also she's so pretty you'd think it'd be fun if she dumped on your chest.

It's called charisma & like ability.

The last part 😂 thanks, girl!

aaaicila hahahaha you’re welcome! 🤣🤣

I 100% agree with the last sentement

That’s... so nice. “I’m not ugly, just broke” 😂

Her and Christian have 2 children now i believe

Approaching middle age? That’s why they call it that because it’s not old but not really young either

Kitty LaRue she can pretend she isn’t a diva, but we all know she is lol.

Could someone explain this to me please? Lol

🤣😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯❤❤❤❤❤I Love Desperate housewives

Haha yes!

Omg yessss

Absolutely 😂

Arnott.....Omg exactly what I said too haha!

I miss the loud gobby 90’s Geri

And that's okay

Aging is quite an experience

I miss “Ginger” so much

She’s become more mature and confident and poised, she no longer hides behind a loud personality.....she’s calm within herself and I honestly think her evolution is admirable and beautiful. Women are so powerful.

Plastic surgery is very rare in Britain though. So pretty much no British middle-aged women look like that. Maybe 2%.

@@BaldMancTwat Not to mention that all the money you have for the very best food, the best skin care and expensive treatments, you might take longer to get wrinkles without any injections or plastic surgery any way.

Maybe if a majority of British women were wealthy perhaps.

You'd be disappointed to come over here 😂😂😂

She looks 30 something lol

wtf so fun to see you here xD

She was my favorite too! It’s funny to see you here. Wouldn’t think you’re a Spice Girls fan for some reason.

Brilliantly said

💖💖💖

Hi AntsCanada! How are your tarantulas? :D I think you should get an OBT and name it Ginger Spice :D

Respect

I’m jealous here in the U.S.

Thats cute ❤️

You are a very beautiful young woman! Im sure you are as lovely on the inside 🙂 🇦🇺

Which venue that u went to?

tinylilmatt went to Wembley June 14/15.. it was truly magical 😩

Yeah she can do it but that's not who she really is.

I agree. She is a proper thinker.I think she had more of a contribution to the Spice Girls than any will ever know Her contribution went way beyond singing and dancing. It was more important than that.

Funny story: I’m a director & just this year was over the moon when I found out she was voicing the lead of a film I did. Small small world… and she was amazing!! 🥰🌠💗💁🏽‍♂️

@@jbghumanjr Fantastic information JB.

Jessica Rabbit was based on the movie star Jayne Russell

The night she flashed her headlights!

CAM not as good though! You had to be there!!! Now I can afford it which is a nice treat!! Though I did just recently miss out on a nineties piece. Though there’s a lot of it about still - just have to know what you’re looking for...

Nothing new under the sun. 😅

Me too 😭😭 once again the Spice Girls are helping me through life

carley junelle same lol

I have no words! Are u American?

@@Girlsplaybass haha, no Canadian actually. I can assure you my parents tried to convince me otherwise, but the flag was on the dress AND the bus... So it must be the spice girls flag right?? Lmao

Iconic

It is the SG flag for many!

kimmie fonze this is beautiful!

So true! ❤️❤️❤️

@Ray Patson it suppose

@Ray Patson aging is beautiful. You can embrace and love every stage of your body. Its really sad to see people treat womens bodys like milk that goes bad.

Hamish LearningCoach 👏🏾👏🏾 you finished him sis

MarisaScott LearningCoach agreed girl. If I could count all the 25+ year olds at least that flirted with me when I was 13... whew. They still like older women but they like the vulnerability and lack of knowledge younger women have cause they’re easier to fool.

It doesn't fit her.

And it's only been 3 months...

Janelle Noir same here... I miss the 90’s so much! 😩

Forreal

I feel ya

Lol you was probably one of the ones that said, “Bye 2019, 2020 is my year!” During New Year’s 🤣

Same, I relate 100% with what she said.

I’m turning 30 in a few months and it’s finally hitting me that it’s... going to be different. I always figured I’d be married and maybe have kids by now, so it’s throwing me. It’s supposed to be a new era in a way, but everything has been the same for five years. Well... I’m different. But everything else is exactly the same. Weird dichotomy.

I totally agree with what she said. It’s about finding yourself in a crossroad and yet feeling totally comfortable with it. I’m almost 35 and I know I am not as young as 20 something, but I still feel young as ever. It’s not just merely aging but maturing and I find that empowering.

Right. Like my wallet has a change pocket and a cartoon elephant but my 401k is poppin. Style is even worse. I started just going super simple.

Amara Jordan It doesn’t get that different. But it’s easier to figure out what really matters.

What's your favourite app 😂

she is.. she's a spice girl! lmao

Ishan Ali Because she is👑

I think she married a lord or something

Been seeing your comments on usmle channels & now you are here too omg you are everywhere😟 @ishan Ali

Steph C I legit did the same thing!! I’m 30 now lmao!!😂

Steph C 😂❤️

Let it out, Steph! This is a judgement free zone.

Steph C I wrote a letter too!!! When Geri left. Hahaha

I tried to be apart of their fan club continually looking for correspondence in the mail that never came! 😭😂

I was trying to figure out who her style reminded me of lol

Yessss I thought it was just me who thought that 😂😂🙏🏽👏🏽

Lmao same

#temapais of course she’s mature, she’s in her 40s 🤦🏽‍♀️

@@christina9470 being older doesn't nessesarily mean you're more mature

@@mariemadlenek Maybe but if you're not "mature" in your 40s then that's sad..

@@christina9470 it is but there's enough people like that

Same here!!! I am 30 and seeing them make it made me believe in myself!! Girl power 4life✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿

Girl Power Forever❤️❤️❤️

The spice girls are great. Icons maybe but it was the 90's. Let's not forget that they called their only black member, SCARY SPICE! Yikes! It was literally picked by one of the record people/team.

Sky Gabriel it wasn't about them being icons. I'm speaking of what type of empowerment they had.. Let's remember she was born in the United Kingdom so the fact her skin tone was our shade I never heard her mention how upset she was because of it..also known as Mel B, scary spice liked to roar like a lion A lot ... Idk bout you but when lions roar that's scary lol... Yes it was the 90's but look at the year 2020... Where in the United States women label themselves as Bi****s wearing close to nothing & sexualized on our tv screens.. My daughter is 2. Which decade you think is better for her to watch....

Sky Gabriel honey they didn’t name themselves those nick names. A reporter did and she didn’t name scary that because she was black. Scary was very dominant and wild. Before she was a spice girl she was a stripper. Scary gladly took the name and honored it.

hironyx well she is Mrs Christian Horner now.

Hilarious

Lady Spice

She's boring and hypocrite Spice now

Old spice

thankfully she isnt full of fillers and botox. You rarely see that In "hollywood"

@@penetrasean true that!

Lol, she *definitely* has Botox in her forehead. Big time. Her forehead is smoother now at 48 then it was at 36. But, no filler, .....yet.

😬

​@@justin01144 Not fair to say :( People in Hollywood are continually scruntinsed, let's stop dis judgement :)

Yeah, Vicky grew up to a Snooty Spice.

@@soniquecat4745 More like stuck up spice.. always hated her attitude..

Ryan Tan you're a guy, honestly your opinion on what girls wear is so irrelevant

Little mix aren't trash :\

@@chaengsoo Little Mix are very good and very talented... They've earned they're place and by all accounts lasted longer than the spice girls.. SG only had 2 albums and 1 without Geri and struggled since.. LM have just blossomed and got better and better.

She is not ginger spice anymore, in the last tour she looks like other person, and in this video She explains everything about that. She just grow up.

@@TheHitachi27 Ginger died in Look At Me Video. But she'll be always Ginger

She still has the sassines in her, especially in her final comments in this video. I love her

Miss Gunst agreed! I have the same asymmetry and am self conscious about it. She looks beautiful!

chanell bruton Most people have asymmetrical features! It’s pretty rare for everything to line up perfectly, which is why middle hair parts are unflattering on most people; it draws attention to it. My right eye is smaller because you see more of the eyelid. I dunno if it’s a slight difference in muscle strength in my eyelids or that my eye is slightly deeper set or what. I can use my makeup to help even them out, though, so it’s less apparent. Regardless, it’s normal, and part of what makes you YOU! 😁

It hit a nerve with me too. I'm 36. She's so right, where do we belong?

S B right where we are❤️ tricky right?
