Geri Halliwell-Horner reveals how Steve Jobs became her VERY unlikely style inspiration

Geri Halliwell-Horner has revealed how she took some very unlikely style inspiration from Steve Jobs.

The Spice Girl, 52, is known for her signature all-white wardrobe and is rarely spotted out at public events in any other colour.

Now, Geri has given an insight into her iconic look, revealing how the late Apple boss Steve was part of the inspiration behind her paired-back ensembles.

Speaking to Jessie and Lennie Ware on their Table Manners podcast, Geri said she saw businessmen like Steve and Mark Zuckerberg always wearing the same outfits.

She said she decided to adopt a similar trend, first wearing all-black in her 20s before switching to all-white to cut down on the amount of time she spends getting ready.

I went through a period when I was in my 20s wearing black all the time. I looked at a lot of guys, and they always wear the same thing,’ she explained.

‘Whether it’s Steve Jobs, Facebook guy [Mark], you know, they all wear the same thing, like a uniform.

‘I thought, well, actually, how much time do you use getting ready? That was one thing, and everything matches. It’s simplicity.’

‘Sometimes I’ll put on some khaki trousers or something, I do have other colours but sometimes I just throw it in,’ she added.

Geri also looked back on her days with The Spice Girls, when she was known for wearing much brighter and more extravagant on stage outfits, including her iconic Union Jack dress.

She revealed she still catches up with her bandmates – Mel B, Mel C, Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton – as she described them as like ‘old school friends or family’.

Geri then revealed how they all got their iconic Spice Girls nicknames after forming in 1994, with the singer taking on the moniker Ginger Spice.

She said it was magazine editor turned celebrity manager Peter Loraine who came up with the idea, after presenting them all with a spice rack and nicknames in an interview.

(Peter) used to be editor of this magazine, Top of the Pops magazine,’ Geri shared.
