A look at the Spice Girls' updated styles at the Olympics
The Olympics closing ceremony reunited famed girl group the Spice Girls, who inspired many fashion trends among teens and young women in the 90s, including towering platform shoes. MTV Style has revealed details on the band's outfit choices and provided a look at the fashion statements made at their comeback show.
Victoria Beckham stayed true to her 'Posh' aspirations in a Giles Deacon mini that revealed her legs. The British designer updated her classic look 'with tiers of ruffles and a giant high-low train that flapped behind her in the wind.'
Geri Halliwell, famous for accessorizing the Union Jack in her heyday, strutted about in a shiny red strapless dress by Suzanne Neville that still featured a British flag -- albeit less prominently than in the past -- and 'finished off her outfit with gold accents: glittery ankle boots and a sparkling tiara.'
'Baby Spice' Emma Bunton turned back the clock in a pink Maggie Cooke dress, updated for a more mature look with 'glittery structured shoulders and a low-dipping neckline.'
Eighteen years after the Spice Girls took the world by storm, Melanie B wore a 'glittery gold and skintight' catsuit designed by Zuhair Murad and left her 'signature wild hair' flowing.
Mel C, aka 'Sporty Spice,' burned calories on the stage in a white tracksuit, hopping about in silver platform sneaker wedges.
Back in 1996, the British all-female band put itself on the map with the debut single 'Wannabe' and introduced the whole world to the concept of 'Girl Power,' which doubled as the name for the group's first international tour. The Spice Girls parted ways in 2001 and were briefly reunited in 2007.

Cosmo editor Helen Gurley Brown dies at 90
Helen Gurley Brown, the saucy Cosmopolitan editor who delivered thousands of sex tips to single women and more than a few curious men, died Monday. She was 90.
Gurley Brown's influence spread across 64 international editions of the low-brow, glossy magazine, aimed primarily at women in their early 20s, but also attracting the keen interest of anyone else searching for 77 'mind-blowing' sex positions, or other gems of Cosmo wisdom.
She died after a brief hospitalization at New York Presbyterian Hospital, the Hearst media corporation said.
'Widely heralded as a legend, Gurley Brown's impact on popular culture and society reached around the globe, first with her 1962 bestseller, 'Sex and the Single Girl,' and then for the more than three decades she put her personal stamp on Cosmopolitan,' Hearst said.
'Under her reign, Cosmopolitan became the bible of 'single girls' worldwide and remains the magazine of 'fun, fearless, females' to this day.'
Cosmo, as the magazine often calls itself, stands apart from other women's publications with its devotion to sex tip lists and perky relationship advice, in addition to the usual make-up discussions and fashion updates.
Gurley Brown took over the then conservative magazine in 1965 and set about delivering her message of 'Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.'
By the 1980s the magazine had grown to 300 pages, a third of that expensive advertising. It now appears in 35 languages across more than 100 countries.
In 2006, she explained the impact of her book 'Sex and the Single Girl,' saying that it had changed the balance in the bedroom.
'Before I wrote my book, the thought was that sex was for men and women only caved in to please men,' she said. 'But I wrote what I knew to be true -- that sex is pleasurable for both women and men.'
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg described her as a 'quintessential New Yorker: never afraid to speak her mind and always full of advice. She pushed boundaries and often broke them, clearing the way for younger women to follow.'

Vogue breaks own record with 916-page September issue
The US edition of fashion magazine Vogue said Thursday its upcoming September issue will be its biggest ever, surpassing the previous record-setter made famous in a documentary film.
With pop diva Lady Gaga on the cover, the 916-page door stopper, scheduled to hit newsstands in the United States on August 21, will mark the influential Conde Nast title's 120th anniversary.
'It is our biggest issue ever,' a Vogue spokeswoman told AFP, although the fact is not trumpeted on a cover that promises '916 pages of spectacular fall fashion for all.'
The September 2007 issue, with '840 pages of fearless fashion ... Our Biggest Issue Ever,' was the focal point of director R.J. Cutler's 2009 fly-on-the-wall film documentary 'The September Issue.'
It was the biggest magazine ever published, weighing nearly five pounds (2.27 kilograms), and the last Vogue to come out before the collapse of Lehman Brothers prompted the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Packed with hundreds of pages of advertising, Vogue's September issue is consistently its biggest and most lucrative, coming out in time for the spring-summer pret-a-porter shows in New York, Milan and Paris.
