Iconic Spice Girl Melanie C, also known as Sporty Spice, put on a sensational display during her latest award show appearance.
The 52-year-old, who rose to fame as one-fifth of girl group the Spice Girls in the 1990s and celebrated the 30th anniversary of their breakthrough hit “Wannabe” earlier this week, has a successful solo career and recently released her ninth studio album, “Sweat.”
Outside of music, Melanie has remained a regular face on television, competing on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2021 and serving as a coach on “The Voice Australia.”
Melanie C Looks Insane for O2 Silver Clef Awards
On Thursday (July 9), Melanie picked up the Global Impact Award at the O2 Silver Clef Awards at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall.
At the ceremony, the “I Turn To You” hitmaker opted for a couple of outfits. In an Instagram carousel shared yesterday, Melanie documented both.
While posing with the award, Melanie wore a cut-out black bodysuit with an oversized gray blazer and matching pants. Known for her fit physique, she showed off her toned abs.
Melanie wore her long brunette hair down in waves and painted her short nails with red polish.
For her red carpet look, she donned a floor-length black gown with a thigh-high slit. The dress featured short sleeves and displayed the tattoos down her arms.
At the event, she was reunited with actor Richard E. Grant, who starred in the Spice Girls’ 1997 Spice World movie as Clifford, the group’s manager.
Melanie also revealed that fellow Spice Girl Victoria Beckham dressed her for the occasion.
‘Girl Power was in Full Effect!’
