Victoria Beckham made a dazzling entrance to her 50th birthday bash, despite breaking her foot recently.
The star-studded event, held at the exclusive Oswald’s in London’s Mayfair district, was the talk of the town on Saturday night.
Beckham arrived in a mint green gown, accompanied by a pair of unexpected accessories: crutches, according to Page Six.
The former pop icon broke her foot during a workout mishap in February.
The occasion also saw a reuniting of the Spice Girls.
Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner and Melanie Chisholm, better known as Posh, Scary, Baby, Ginger and Sporty Spice, came together to celebrate Victoria’s birthday.
According to the BBC website, the bandmates partied like it was 1997, performing their classic song, Stop.
SPICE GIRLS HAS NINE UK NO 1 HITS
Bookmaker Coral slashed the odds on an official Spice Girls reunion in 2024 – and a Glastonbury performance and new album in 2025 – following the birthday bash performance.
The Spice Girls came together in 1994, after they responded to an advert for candidates to form an all-girl group.
After the release of their chart-topping debut single Wannabe in 1996, “Spice mania” swept the planet, with their self-styled “Girl Power” mantra – a brand of female empowerment that made them a global pop culture phenomenon.
In total, they scored nine UK number one hits, which also included Say You’ll Be There, 2 Become 1, Who Do You Think You Are, Spice Up Your Life and Viva Forever.
Geri Halliwell left the Spice Girls in 1998 and the group finally split up in 2001.
But they reunited for tours in 2007 and a performance at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012.
A European tour took place in 2019, but without Victoria.
Besides the pop group, the party saw celebrity appearances from the likes of Tom Cruise, Salma Hayek, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Gordon Ramsay.
