Redhead of the week: Geri Halliwell

Our Redhead of the week is the 90's icon and singer aka Ginger Spice! Who doesn't remember Spice Girls? I always "wanted" to be Geri, and mostly because of her red hair.
Geri Halliwell was born as a natural redhead and her bright shiny red hair brought her to fame! I can't imagine Spice Girls without her spunky personality, big smile and red hair. However, Geri is gravitating towards blond hair and the older she is, the blonder is her hair. I was still able to find some vintage snaps of the most popular redhead of the nineties and look at the way how she used to dress.


Geri was most seen in black. As a natural spring, black is not a good color on such a pale redhead as the popular songstress is. However, the further it is from her face, the better.

YES!
Rawr! Voluptuous, vibrant, fresh and young. 

NO!
This picture was taken about 20 years ago and Geri definitely does not look like a hot redhead, but like a tired French intellectual smoking way to many cigarettes. There is nothing wrong with being French or intellectual, but if you are a vibrant redhead, then you need to be the colorful life of the party, not the forgotten wallflower! Red hair was meant to stand out :)

Ginger Spice didn't get her name for nothing and with her love for red, sparkles and Union Jack she successfully proved that redheads CAN most definitely wear red.

YES!


Her blue eyes are stunning in pale shades of blue, purple and pink. You can see it more clearly when her hair is blonde, Geri looks younger and vibrant when wearing these colors. However, they also suited her when she wore her mane bright red - nineties makeup included!

YES!

Almost immediately after leaving Spice Girls Geri changed her life, and her hair color followed soon afterwards. I must say I miss her beautiful red locks, but she is still one of my favorite redheads ever :)

XOXO,
The European Redhead
