Costume Ideas Inspired by the Spice Girls

Bursting into the international music scene in the 1990s, the Spice Girls became a phenomenon known the world over. Each of these five English women had individual traits that set them apart from one another. Written below is a guide on how you can dress up as one of these larger than life characters.

Baby Spice had a distinct style that made her seem innocent and sweet. Copy her looks by wrapping your hair in buns at the top of either side of your head, with long bangs at your forehead. Finish up by buying and wearing platform pumps and carry around a big lollipop or a small teddy bear.

Posh Spice got her name from wearing classy yet revealing outfits that gave her that rich girl look. To dress like her, you may need to purchase a chin-length, straight style black wig to mimic her hairdo. Don on a tight, short black dress, preferably in leather, or even a black and shiny cat suit.

Scary Spice was christened thus because of her outrageous hairstyle and flamboyant costumes. Typically, she had on tight cheetah-print outfits - in short dresses or a bustier. Copy her style by shopping for a curly, voluminous brown wig and use a lot of hairspray to keep it in place.

Ginger Spice wore very revealing clothes that showed off her curves. This member's trademark was a tight dress decorated with a British flag. An alternative would be to buy a short, white dress and paint the said symbol on it with the use of fabric paint.

Finally, capture Sporty Spice's athletic garb by putting on revealing bare-midriff, spaghetti-strapped shirt with a matching pair of workout pants. Cap off the look with her shoulder-length brown hair and some colourful trainers.
