The Spice Girls Reunion Tour Is Definitely Happening—Without Victoria Beckham


Attention Spice Girls superfans: The iconic ’90s pop music girl gang is heading out on a world tour—just don’t expect Victoria Beckham, aka “Posh,” to join them.

After months of will they or won’t they speculation surrounding the possibility of a reunion tour, the former pop stars finally confirmed the long-awaited plans today (November 5) on Twitter. In a spoof video sharing the news and details of the tour, the women were joined by singer Jess Glynne, to kick off ticket sales, which start Saturday. However, one of the group’s former bandmates was noticeably absent from the video.

Despite the initial belief that all five of the Spice Girls would potentially be touring together, Beckham quickly shot down those rumors in a post to her Instagram account Monday, where she announced she would not be joining the tour, but wished the rest of her former bandmates the best of luck.

“Today marks a special day for the girls as they announce the first tour dates since we performed together in 2012! I won’t be joining my girls on stage again but being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish them so much love and fun as they go back on tour next year. I know they will put on an amazing show and the fantastic fans past and present are going to have a wonderful time! X vb #spicegirls #friendshipneverends”

Back in June, while speaking with Hoda Kotb on Today, Mel B (a.k.a. “Scary Spice”) seemed to confirm the possibility of a reunion tour, a move so many Spice World enthusiasts had been hoping for since the group’s final performance together in 2012.

“I’m the only one that keeps on saying we’re going to be performing, which, we are gonna be performing,” the star told Kotb on the air. “Finally, they’ve got it together. Yes. We are touring. Should I have really said that out loud? Yes, we are going to be doing performances together for sure.”

So while it seems as though Posh definitively will not be joining the rest of the Girls on their tour next year—at least we still have this video of her fist-pumping to “Spice Up Your Life.”

How Victoria Beckham Went From Posh Spice to Prestige Fashion Designer


You already know the story of how Victoria Beckham came to prominence as a Spice Girl, but given how difficult it is to break into fashion—and be taken seriously—it’s pretty unbelievable that “Posh” just celebrated ten years as a prestige designer.

After the Spice Girls broke up in 2000, Beckham dabbled in modeling, solo music, and even design collaborations before ultimately deciding to launch her namesake brand in 2008. Becoming a fully-fledged, respected designer came with its hurdles, though, like the assumption that Beckham’s interest in fashion was of the fleeting variety. “I’m very aware of people’s preconceptions,” she told WWD in 2011. But she didn’t let critics deter her from designing.

That persistence has paid off. In November, the Victoria Beckham brand was valued at £100 million (or about $131.4 million, at the current exchange rate), according to The Telegraph. For her 10th anniversary, she decided to move her Spring 2019 runway show from New York to London Fashion Week; the collection drew praise for its simple, tailored designs and age-inclusive casting. “What we did was celebrate being different. We showed it was okay to be who you are,” Beckham told Vogue backstage. “And that’s what this is about—empowering women through fashion.”

The journey from pop stardom to fashion powerhouse wasn’t overnight—but Beckham made it happen. Ahead, we look back on her transformation from one-fifth of the Spice Girls to standalone designer.

Victoria Beckham Fist-Pumping to 'Spice Up Your Life' Is the Best Thing You'll See Today


Here’s a riddle for you: What’s the next best thing after a Spice Girls reunion? If you answered “video footage of Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) fist-pumping to ‘Spice Up Your Life’ at a London Fashion Week party,” then, congrats, you win a prize. The video in question was taken by Siobhan Bell, who posted it to Instagram: “Can’t actually believe @victoriabeckham a living legend ‘SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!’” she wrote in the caption.

According to The Cut, Bell filmed the video at the after-party Vogue threw for the tenth anniversary of Beckham’s eponymous fashion label. In it, Beckham (rocking a white pantsuit) can be seen leading the room in a dance-off while lip-synching along to the classic Spice Girls hit.

According to Vogue‘s recap of the festivities, the Fashion Week flash mob to “Spice Up Your Life” was actually the last song of the night. That’s a pretty good send-off, and we can thank DJ Fat Tony for gifting it to us, according to Vogue.

This is the second time this month that VB has done some fun throwbacks to her days as a Spice Girl. In early September she relived some of her iconic outfits for a British Vogue photo shoot, even throwing in some subtle lyrics while delivering a monologue to EIC Edward Enninful.

Unfortunately, despite Beckham’s apparent enthusiasm for the Spice Girls’ past hits, it looks like she’s not planning to actually get up onstage and perform them anytime soon. Back in February she completely shut down all rumors of a Spice Girls reunion by telling British Vogue, “I’m not going on tour. The girls aren’t going on tour.”

But fingers crossed that she’s since changed her mind. In July, Mel B (a.k.a. Scary Spice) went on the Today show and said a reunion is definitely happening. “She’s always saying that,” Mel B said about Beckham’s comments.

“We are touring. Should I have really said that out loud?” added Mel B. “Yes, we are going to be doing performances together for sure.”

Victoria Beckham Just Shut Down Rumors That She's Designing Meghan Markle's Wedding Dress


Victoria Beckham seems like a shoo-in to design Meghan Markle‘s wedding dress: Not only is she an accomplished British designer, but she also has strong ties to the royal family, having attended Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal nuptials in 2011 and celebrated daughter Harper’s 6th birthday with a tea party at the palace last summer. But during an appearance on The Late Late Show on Thursday, Beckham broke fashion hearts everywhere by shutting down the rumors that she’ll be masterminding the soon-to-be Duchess’ gown for the May 19 ceremony.

“How is designing Meghan’s dress? Is it going well?” host James Corden asked, intrepidly, attempting to catch Beckham off-guard. The ploy didn’t work on Posh Spice, though: Beckham vehemently denied that she was doing any such thing.

“Maybe you know something that I don’t! I’m not doing the dress, I’m not,” she said, adding: “Sadly, not. But I’m sure she will look incredible in whatever she wears.”

Check out the full interaction.

Beckham was, however, less adept at sidestepping Corden’s questions about whether she and husband David Beckham would be attending the upcoming royal wedding: When he asked whether she had received her invitation, the designer responded with a nonsensical, “I don’t know, I’ve been here…” before Corden and fellow guest Shaquille O’Neal began ribbing her for stammering over her answer.

Beckham then attempted to shift the focus off herself, continuing: “I think England is so excited. I mean, it’s just so great, isn’t it? They look so happy!”

She may not be designing the gown, but Beckham has already played a role in Meghan and Harry’s nuptials, in a way: In one of the duo’s official engagement photos that Kensington Palace released last December, the bride-to-be is wearing a creamy white sweater from the Victoria Beckham line.

And, of course, you can keep your fingers crossed for our second favorite Beckham-related rumor regarding the royal wedding—that the Spice Girls are reportedly reuniting to perform at the reception. Not a bad consolation prize, eh?

This Is Why Fans Think Chloë Grace Moretz and Brooklyn Beckham Are Engaged


Brooklyn Beckham and Chloë Grace Moretz have been on and off over the years, but it looks like they’re going strong now—and getting serious. A recent Instagram photo of hers shows the two in matching rings, hers with a “B” and his with a “C.” They’ve both got their hands up to their mouths in a “shh” gesture, leaving fans wondering: What secret are they keeping? Some are even speculating that they’re engagement rings, though of course we don’t know this, as neither of them has publicly said so.

Chloë and Brooklyn first began dating in 2014 and then went through a rough breakup last summer. This August, they were spotted together at a party in LA, and soon after, they began flirting on Instagram with heart emoji and “I love you”s. Last month, Chloë documented a camping date with Brooklyn on Instagram Stories.

With Sarah Hyland wearing Wells Adams’s first initial on a necklace, it seems that jewelry with the first letter of your S.O.’s name is catching on (we might have Taylor Swift to thank for that). Whatever the exact significance, we do know it means they mean a lot to each other — not to mention, it looks adorable.
