When Geri Horner first burst on to the scene as a Spice Girl, she stood out from the pack with her bolshy unapologetic wave of 90s girl power - which her fashion style certainly reflected.

One of her most iconic outfits was when she donned the Union Jack mini dress at the 1997 Brit Awards. The dress, rumoured to have been made out of a tea towel, was a show-stopper on the night and has become an instantly recognisable piece of British music history.

In more recent years, Geri has ditched her bold and daring looks with a noticeable transformation in her signature style. The girlband star has transitioned from the fiery girl next door who took the world by storm to a dutiful housewife, who by her own admission only wears white.

Geri's world has recently been rocked after allegations were made suggesting that her husband Christian Horner behaved in an inappropriate manner to one of his employees. Horner has denied any wrongdoing and was this week cleared of misconduct following an investigation.

Sources close to Geri claim she is standing by her husband's side and is expected to join him for the first grand prix of the season this weekend in a public show of solidarity.

Geri turned heads with her choice of outfits as a Spice Girl which also matched her brash outspoken personality. Her skin tight dresses, bold colours were statement pieces and her look became a worldwide hit. She once even pinched the bottom of King Charles, who was prince at the time, during a glitzy red carpet event.

At that time she embodied girl power and became the unofficial spokesperson for feminism.

And this is why it came as no surprise when she donned the Union Jack mini dress at the 1997 Brit Awards, which she teamed with a pair of red platform boots - and it was this look that defined her memorable character. Speaking about her choice of outfit at the awards show, she famously told Vogue that it was a last minute decision. She said: "I always think fashion is a language," she explained. "It's the only time you have control."

Geri the author

Ending her chapter as a global superstar, Geri decided to edge her way into becoming an author in 2008 and with that transition her style changed too. The once brash and larger than life outfits slowly changed into a more demure look with a touch of colour. Attending book her signings, the singer looked as though she wanted to be taken more seriously by book critics and so ditched her skin tight ensembles for a more covered up look.

Speaking of her love of writing she said in an interview with The Guardian: "Writing is my greatest joy. For me, it's all-consuming. I get to play God, in total control: Will they live or die? Feel pain or fall in love? I can immerse myself entirely."

Just four years after meeting Christian, Geri's look appeared to change once again as she opted for more of an English rose look with floral pattern outfits and floor length dresses.

Clearly loved up, Geri's transformation proved that once again she was entering another chapter of her ever evolving life. She was forever papped looking adoringly at her man and draping herself over him. Following a series of heartbreaks - that included a romance with fellow pop star Robbie Williams - Geri appeared to have finally found her happy ending.

The couple purchased sprawling family homes in Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire with their son Monty, give, Geri's daughter Bluebell, 15, and Christian's daughter Olivia.

She has chosen to not wear colour in any of her outfits - and has made the conscious decision to archive her former looks. Speaking about her decision to only wear white, the star revealed that it simply makes her life easier - and even went as far as to describe it as wearing a school uniform. She said: "Everything becomes really simple. It's like wearing a school uniform as an adult."

She added: "It matches with everything and I literally don't have to think in the mornings. It kind of looks like you've made an effort when you haven't." Celebrity style expert Miranda Holder said that wearing white is a solid choice as it oozes elegance. She said that "white or cream oozes luxury".
