Girl Power! For four girls anyway...

Tonight marks the opening of ‘Viva Forever’, a musical based on the songs of The Spice Girls, (our inner twelve-years-olds rejoice at the thought), but the expected display of Girl Power seemed to be lacking on the red carpet. 

While Geri, Emma, Mel C and Mel B all posed together on the red carpet and giggled their way through a photocall, Victoria was nowhere to be seen.

In fact, she made quite the (fashionably?) late entrance, and posed with her family instead. Making a gorgeous family portrait, as always, but as the whole point of The Spice Girls was very much ‘all about the women’, it was a shame not to see Victoria be a part of it all with her former bandmates.

There was also a marked difference in outfit choice for the night, with all four earlier arrivals in showstopper dresses. Victoria looked as stylish as ever, but her choice of attire was markedly different from the girls, sporting cropped wool trousers, a white shirt and a jacket from her own fashion line.

The musical is the work of Judy Craymer, producer of ‘Mamma Mia!’ and legendary funny woman Jennifer Saunders, and has already earned an incredible £4 million in advance bookings.
