The Spice Girls, consisting of Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, and Melanie Chisholm, surprised fans with a reunion at Victoria's 50th birthday celebration in London.
The group performed their iconic song, Stop, and the moment was captured by Victoria's husband, David Beckham, who shared it on Instagram.
Victoria expressed her joy in the comments, calling it the "best night ever" and using the hashtag #SpiceUpYourLife, a reference to one of their popular songs.
The star-studded party took place at Oswald's private members club and included celebrity guests like Tom Cruise, Salma Hayek, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Gordon Ramsay.
Prior to the event, Victoria shared photos of her family, all dressed elegantly for the occasion.
Despite recent sightings of Victoria on crutches, she did not use them during the celebration.
The bandmates were seen singing along to their performance, reminiscent of their 1990s heyday.
A devoted Spice Girls fan and comedian, Samuel Zernig, expressed his excitement, stating that the video brought him immense joy and generated global attention.
According to BBC, Fans across social media expressed their excitement at the reunion of the five Spice Girls after years apart, with many leaving comments on Beckham's post.
One fan wrote, "David, you truly are the top social media manager, thank you for providing us with this content."
Another fan shared, "This is the moment the entire world has been eagerly anticipating."
A third person compared their feelings towards the Spice Girls to their daughter's admiration for Taylor Swift.
Numerous fans urged the band to embark on another tour, with one fan even suggesting, "Can we discuss taking this to Glastonbury?"
Coral, the bookmaker, has now reduced the odds on an official Spice Girls reunion in 2024, as well as a Glastonbury performance and a new album in 2025, following the birthday celebration performance.
Their debut single, Wannabe, topped the charts in 1996, sparking "Spice mania" worldwide, with their "Girl Power" message of female empowerment becoming a global cultural phenomenon.
In total, they achieved nine UK number one hits, including Say You'll Be There, 2 Become 1, Who Do You Think You Are, Spice Up Your Life, and Viva Forever.
Geri Halliwell departed from the Spice Girls in 1998, and the group eventually disbanded in 2001.
However, they reunited for tours in 2007 and a performance at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012. A European tour took place in 2019, but Victoria did not participate.
