The Most Iconic Spice Girl Fashion Statements Aren't As Simple As They Appear

If you think about 90s fashion, you will obviously think about the Spice Girls. Every fashion choice they made directly impacted every pre-teen girl around the world. We were all trying to walk in platform shoes, wearing those Adidas tear-away pants, or trying to find the best dresses that looked like slips.

They had so many iconic moments that it's easy to just look back and remember the good ol' days. There were also a few hidden secrets that they didn't want you to know at the time!

Why are half of them wearing winter coats, but then Mel B. has a tank top on? Who is right here?

As iconic as all of these looks are, there are a few secrets about the clothes they wore that people don't know...

The Spice Girls may have been known for their amazing fashion-forward looks, but some of their most iconic looks weren't the real deal. Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress was actually made the night before she wore it when she added a flag to a plain black dress!

While Ginger Spice's outfit may have been a fraud, Victoria Beckham's little Gucci dress must have been the real deal right? Wrong. Just because she was a fashionable person didn't mean that she could always afford the high-end clothes she wanted.

Beckham admitted that even the so-called Gucci dress from Spice World was actually a fake! She wasn't about to correct anyone who believed that it was real!

Fashion Experts Are Trying To Trick Us Into Wearing Flared Jeans Again And We Aren't Having It

Listen, I know fashion is cyclical. I know that things are going to go in and out of style, but here's the thing, not everything should. Fashion is also highly subjective. We all have our own opinions, but when the fashion magazines start telling us "this is what is in style" we all second guess our choices. Now, these experts are telling us to dust off our old flared jeans and honestly, I don't understand why. I know that flared jeans were huge in the disco-era, and I know this because when they came back in the late 90s and

These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have

His Small Part In 'Ferris Bueller' Became Iconic, But Where Is Ben Stein Now?

The words "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller?" can only be read in one way, and with that simple, monotone delivery, a star was born. Ben Stein played the economics professor in the iconic John Hughes classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and that role managed to launch his career in a way that you may not expect for someone with such a small part. Sure, he's on screen for less than five minutes, but it's the delivery you remember. Yes, obviously the other characters are more present, and you can remember some of the more iconic moments as well, but it's Stein's line
