Why Mel B missed Spice Girls reunion at Victoria Beckham Netflix premiere

Victoria Beckham’s Netflix premiere saw more than just the famous fashion designer strut her stuff on the red carpet. Stars galore showed up to support the pop star turned fashion designer on the eve of her self-titled series launch, including her former Spice Girlsbandmates. However, while Baby, Ginger and Sporty Spice posed alongside their pal, Scary Spice was missing from the reunion. Mel B was the only band member absent from the event, but she still showed her support, albeit from afar. The recently married singer was in Los Angeles for work while her old girl group were meeting up in London.

Debuting her new venture, Victoria, 51, hosted Emma Bunton, 49, Geri Halliwell, 53 and Mel C, 51, at her central London premiere among a slew of other big names. Before the star-studded screening, she shared an update with her followers and showed off a stunning bouquet of flowers sent to her from her friend and bandmate Melanie Brown, who was unable to attend due to work commitments.

Victoria shared pictures of her floral gift on her Instagram story, tagging Mel B and penning a note that read: “Kisses”, next to an extravagant display of white flowers and green foliage. Mel B wasn’t in London at the time of the event, and her rep told HELLO!: “Mel is in LA, where she is live streaming from the Red Bull Dance Your Style finals – she’s a super fan!”
