On January 11, 2024, the Royal Mail released a special set of 15 stamps in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Spice Girls, marking a significant moment in both music history and philately. This is the first complete stamp collection in the UK to honor a female pop group, acknowledging the Spice Girls’ substantial influence on music and culture since their arrival in 1994.
The stamp collection showcases individual portraits of the group members: Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), and Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice). In addition to their portraits, the stamps include designs that highlight memorable moments from their performances and music videos, reflecting their vibrant and impactful career.
The Spice Girls expressed their appreciation for this tribute, stating they feel “thrilled and humbled” by the recognition from the Royal Mail. They view it as a wonderful celebration of their journey and the support they have received from fans over the years.
This release emphasizes the enduring legacy of the Spice Girls and their message of “Girl Power,” which has resonated with many generations globally. Fans and collectors can find these commemorative stamps available for purchase on the Royal Mail’s official website and at select post offices throughout the UK.
Alongside the stamp collection, the Spice Girls are also marking their 30th anniversary with a much-anticipated reunion tour announced for later this year, bringing excitement to their global fanbase.
