The Spice Girls are an English pop girl group formed in 1994. They consist of Victoria Beckham (née Adams), Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell. They are the most successful girl group of all time.
The Names
* Geri Halliwell/Ginger Spice (March 1994-May 1998 and June 2007-February 2008). Geri was called Ginger Spice because of her "liveliness, zest, and flaming red hair." She often wore outrageous stage outfits. Ginger was seen by many as de facto leader of the group thanks to her articulate conversational style and business savvy mind.
* Melanie Brown/Scary Spice (March 1994-February 2001 & June 2007-February 2008). Melanie was given the nickname Scary Spice because of her outrageous, "in-your-face" attitude, "loud" Leeds accent, throaty laugh, pierced tongue, manner of dress (which often consisted of leopard-print outfits), and her voluminously curly hair.
* Emma Bunton/Baby Spice (October 1994-February 2001 and June 2007-February 2008). Emma was called Baby Spice because she was the youngest of the group, wore her long blonde hair in pigtails, wore babydoll dresses, had an innocent smile, and had a girly girl personality.
* Victoria Beckham (then Victoria Adams)/Posh Spice (March 1994-February 2001 and June 2007-February 2008). Victoria was called Posh Spice because of her more middle-class background, refined attitude, form-fitting designer outfits and her love of high-heeled footwear.
* Melanie Chisholm/Sporty Spice (March 1994-February 2001 and June 2007-February 2008). Called Sporty because Melanie usually wore a tracksuit with her hair in a ponytail and sported a tough girl attitude.
