Mel B dazzles in a Wannabe-inspired 'ziga zig ha' jacket as she heads out in an all-pink ensemble ahead of Manchester's second Spice Girls show
She celebrated her 44th birthday on Wednesday, just days after kicking off the Spice Girls reunion tour in Dublin.
And Mel B was pictured out and about in a Wannabe-inspired jacket on Friday as she geared up to perform the band's second Manchester show at the Etihad Stadium.
The songstress, 44, made a statement in the pink camouflage long-line jacket, which was decorated with glittering pink and silver patches.

The back of her custom jacket read 'ziga zig ha' in a nod to a line in the band's 1996 hit Wannabe.
The mother-of-three paired her outfit with a dusty pink T-shirt and a matching bodycon skirt, and wore a fluffy pink headband for the outing.
Mel - whose real name is Melanie Brown - finished off her look with knee-high burgundy socks and pink leather boots.

The singer-songwriter also carried a Gucci waist bag as she greeted fans outside her hotel.
Friday's show is the fourth of the tour so far, and the second of three to take place at Manchester's 55,000 capacity Etihad Stadium.
Mel and her bandmates Emma Bunton, 43, Melanie Chisholm, 45, and Geri Horner, 46, are set to perform at the stadium again on Saturday before taking the tour to Coventry, Sunderland, Edinburgh, Bristol and London.
The singer's latest outing comes after she told Geri 'you better not leave tonight you f*****g b***h' as she marked exactly 21 years to the day the singer left the Spice Girls on Wednesday.
Scary Spice made the cheeky dig at Ginger Spice as she celebrated her 44th birthday at their first Manchester show.
During the 90s extravaganza, the Loose Women panellist was presented with a cake on stage and couldn't resist reminding Geri how she walked out on the band in 1998.
And Mel playfully told the crowd: 'She left on my birthday and it's my birthday today. You better not leave tonight you f*****g b***h', to which Geri pretended to wipe a tear from her face.
21-years on, the girls have rebuilt their friendship and led Mel's birthday tributes on Instagram.

The songstress took to Instagram to share a shot of the Leeds native performing on stage during their reunion tour.
Earlier this year the tour was believed to be hanging in the balance after Mel claimed she had sex with Geri during the height of their fame in the nineties.
The openly bisexual singer made the shock claim while filming for Piers Morgan's Life Stories in March, cheekily telling the broadcaster Geri had 'great boobs' and adding: 'It just happened and we just giggled at it and that was it.'
Proving there was no bad blood between them, Geri posted a shot of the Mel B dressed in a head-turning gold jumpsuit with sheer panelling and crystal embroidery mid performance with the words 'Happy Birthday Melanie' written across it.
