THE FACT THAT HER STYLIST TOLD HER TO NOT WEAR THAT AND JLOS STYLIST TOLD HER NOT TO WEAR THE JUNGLE DRESS... IMMEDIATELY FIRED

[@EvanEvans9]

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!

[@brainey001]

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

[@ejohnson3131]

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

[@itsjemmabond]

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

[@ejohnson3131]

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.

It's funny how ginger spice is now actually more posh spice.

Lady gaga mtv 2010 iconic meat dress

[@tagaway6173]

@@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.

“The 90’s was like the 60’s” IVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR YEARS and no one has agreed with me. Geri confirms.

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

the dress in itself is iconic but the story about how it came about? brilliant

[@charlescdt6509]

She looks classic, has aged very elegantly.

[@pablogonzalez9842]

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

[@Ohhhwehere]

its called money

[@razonjoanify]

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.

[@diegojosue1030]

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?

[@GugsGunny]

She aged well, and not just how fabulous she looks.

[@Womanfromearth]

GugsGunny and Posh never aged at all.

[@lollsazz]

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

[@EllawoodBlues]

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

Yup.

[@bachu001]

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

[@damdaung8369]

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

[@tanyaahmed4801]

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.

[@natchosm4320]

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

Ryan Tan She’s 47, not 87. She doesn’t have enough neck wrinkles to dress like that. She looks dry and over civilized.

Everything about her is unrecognizable.

Well she is a children’s book author, she published her autobiography that became a best seller and sold over 1 million copies in the UK alone. She had her own swimwear collection. She’s a goodwill ambassador for the UN. Not to mention she was a guest judge on the X factor and Australia’s Got Talent... her husband is very successful as well. She’s molded and grown into a very amazing woman.

[@TinaLouise73]

that union Jack dress was iconic and paved the way for Brit pop culture in the 90s and beyond! also to add that the name union means United which reflects just how the UK is:everyone no matter wot their color culture beleifs or lifestyles are ALL UNITED AS ONE! well done Geri for showing this! ❤🇬🇧

I’m 34 now and getting a bit emotional watching her now & spice girls then.. growing up as a black girl I felt the unity within the group & it made me love the positivity/girl power which is what they stood for. 💞

[@babyhair9820]

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

[@skygabriel7733]

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.

[@tifiayiti937]

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....

[@dani09eveline]

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.

[@SpiceGirlsNet]

This video just shows how big and iconic this dress was and still is. I remember watching the Brit Awards aged 5 and being mesmerized by these five girls. This iconic Brit Awards dress was on the cover of newspapers across the world.

[@Dangerous0Fairy]

Her outfit & pearls are BEAUTIFUL ! She's stunning

[@watercyclist23]

This was so lovely to watch. It is inspiring to see how Geri has grown and how she remains positive. I also have to say it was inspiring to see her support Age UK . I must admit as Geri has grown up she now reminds me of a GP I used to have who was very kind and lovely. I think that kindness resonates in Geri. She appears at ease and peace with herself.

[@chanellbruton9862]

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

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

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! 😁
