From Spice Girl to best-selling author, Geri Halliwell-Horner talks ’90s nostalgia, her new novel, and what Girl Power means to her today.Geri halliwell-horner greets me at her palatial north London home dressed head to toe in white, as has been her custom since sometime in 2019. Her living room is white, too: white curtains, cream sofas, even the floorboards are white-washed. Luckily, the Brit Awards adorning the white fireplace are silver.
The time Geri saved by not having to colour coordinate her outfits has been put to impressive use. Her first Young Adult novel, eight years in the writing, has just become a-esque challenges, under the tutelage of Anne Boleyn’s ghost. The Tudors are an obsession of Geri’s, and during the Spice Girls 2019 reunion tour she reimagined her iconic Union Jack dress as a floor-length medieval gown – a development few could’ve predicted in 1997.
Geri pioneered the idea of Girl Power in the ’90s. Is the novel her way of delivering the same message to a younger generation? ‘I want to empower all people!’ she practically hoots. So what does Girl Power mean to her today? ‘It means equality for everyone, beyond gender, race, religion,’ she says. ‘I think there are different ways that a person can feel marginalised, or boxed in, and one of them is age.
Besides, these days, she says, her focus has shifted. ‘I don’t see myself as a Mariah Carey but I do feel confident in writing – that’s always been my strength.’ Does she feel like more of a writer than a performer? ‘I would say so, yes. But writing can underpin anything. It’s storytelling – which can happen through books or music.’ She’s taken the unorthodox step of recording a soundtrack for her book. ‘I’ve never stopped writing music.
