Aren't you supposed to be Sporty Spice? Mel C channels former bandmate Mel B in sexy leopard print dress during night out in the West End
As one fifth of the Spice Girls, Mel C once earned herself the moniker of Sporty Spice thanks to her love for tracksuit bottoms and football T-shirts.
But on Thursday, the 41-year-old decided to shun her trademark style and go for something different by channelling former bandmate Mel B’s 20-something self during a night out in London’s West End.
The British singer, whose real name is Melanie Chisholm, rocked a leopard-print dress which was almost identical to Scary Spice’s iconic jumpsuit from their pop glory days.
