Whether you sported adolescent pigtails to channel Baby Spice, much like Blake Lively, or you were insistent that everything be "posh," there's no denying the Spice Girls' effect on our coming-of-age dressing.

Any true Spice Girls fan will admit that their urge to mirror these iconic idols is still in there, somewhere.
In the interest of helping you do so, we've matched five iconic outfits with modern day equivalents, aiding you in dressing like your favorite spice in a millennial world. Read on to spice up your life — and your wardrobe. We like to call her Miss "Gen Z."
