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.

Geri said businessmen like Steve and Mark Zuckerberg always wearing the same outfits inspired her to adopt her own signature look – only wearing white clothes 

‘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. 

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has become recognised for wearing similar looks over the years when speaking at public events 

She wasn’t always known for her toned-down style, previously rocking some bold on-stage outfits, including her iconic Union Jack dress in 1997

‘And one of the first interviews, when I was in the band The Spice Girls, he interviewed us, and then he did a spice rack. It was funny. 

‘And then he just named each spice. That was it. And then it stuck and we thought, well, that’s a good idea. Let’s keep it.’

Geri said she ‘didn’t mind’ his choice of Ginger Spice at all, while Victoria was Posh Spice, Mel B was Scary Spice, Mel C became Sporty Spice and Emma was Baby Spice.

Geri recently dropped a huge hunt that The Spice Girls could reunite, decades after they disbanded in 2001.

She told The Times: ‘My hope is we come back together as a collective. It’s more respectful to come as one.

‘There will be something. We’ll come as one. We love each other. I love them, I care about them, we want the best for each other.

‘We shared something so monumental. We’ve always believed in each other, had trust in each other, which is beautiful.’ 

She also confirmed that the five of them do have a group chat but wouldn’t reveal the name of it.

Mel C also hinted that the band could do something special next year to mark the 30-year anniversary of their debut album, Spice.

The girl group last toured together in 2020 as a foursome, with only Victoria missing out.

The last time Emma, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria and Geri all performed together was during the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.

Speaking to Rebecca Judd On Apple Music 1 earlier this month, Mel C teased: ‘There has to be something befitting of 30 years since Wannabe. 

‘Once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl. We all feel like that, but we now are getting together because we know if we’re going to do anything, we have to start planning things to get things right.

‘We have to start making the plans right now and putting them into action. So fingers crossed.’

However, she admitted it might be up to her and Mel B to get things moving, saying: ‘I think me and Mel B are probably going to be going in there all guns blazing, “Come on! It’s time!”‘
