"She wants the girls to retain their band personas but in a much less obvious way than before. Mel C won’t be wearing ill-fitting sportswear - instead she’ll have a really sexy wardrobe. Emma Bunton will wear stunning, elegant dresses with a playful touch."

Since the band’s reunion was announced, the fivesome have added extra dates to their tour owing to the hugely popular demand for tickets.

The tour will now open on December 2 in Vancouver, Canada.


Spice Girls unveil new look - July 27 2007
The Spice Girls have unveiled a new grown-up look as they announced extra dates for their reunion tour.

Instead of kicking-off in Los Angeles, Victoria Beckham’s glitzy new hometown in California, the band will play their first comeback concert in Vancouver, Canada.

Three new dates were announced as the latest picture of the band showed that Sporty, Ginger, Posh, Baby and Scary’s trademark dress codes have been dropped for a more sophisticated image.

But none of the extra concerts are on home turf, meaning that, so far, the band are still only playing one UK date, in London, in December.

The band announced new concerts in San Jose, California, and Shanghai, China.

The LA concert will now be their third performance on the 14-night extravaganza of six continents.

The Spice Girls - who split six years ago after one album without Geri Halliwell who quit the band in dramatic fashion in 1998 - sold 55 million albums and had nine UK number one singles in their heyday.

The five are now all in their 30s and have six children between them.

Since launching their reunion tour last month, three million people - who can buy up to six tickets each - have registered to see the band.

Fans can also vote for the money-spinning tour to come to their hometown.

The band said: "We have just found out that we’ve had over three million ticket requests on the website. As our own VB (Victoria Beckham) would say, that is ’major’!"


Spices may double world tour - July 23 2007
The Spice Girls are apparently in talks to double their world tour to 50 dates.

The band’s website has been bombarded by fans hoping to see the girls reunited on tour, but extra dates could be difficult for the family-focussed fivesome.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "The girls really want to do a huge tour but they’re worried about how much time they’ll be able to commit to it because of their families.

"It’s tricky for Victoria as she has three kids about to enrol in a new school and Mel B’s daughter Phoenix would struggle with the schedule, too, as she’s also of school age.

"It’s not going to be easy for Geri and soon-to-be mum Emma travelling with their tots either. Mel C has her solo career to consider, too, so they’ll have to get her on board..."

So far the girls have gigs on 11 dates, starting at London’s 02 arena in December, with another 14 being finalised.
