Bad Gyal's nod to the Spice Girls at their concert in London

Bad Gyal (Alba Farelo) unleashed madness, this past Friday in London, with his twerking. The La Joia 24 Karats Tour stopped at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in the British capital in the presence of more than 2,000 people who vibrated with their best-known songs, including Chulo, Perdido este culo or Guay.

The 27-year-old not only made everyone present dance with her perreo, she also chose a very significant outfit for this concert. Farelo came out on stage wearing a two-piece outfit printed with the Union Jack, the flag of the United Kingdom. The top had thin straps and rhinestones, a detail also present in her metallic bra, while the skirt was short and had a ruffle at the bottom.

The singer completed her look with some eccentric white boots combined with hair and her now characteristic long straight blonde hair, parted in the middle, and makeup with earth tones as the protagonists.

A style that was familiar to many, in fact, social media users quickly related the outfit to one of the most iconic dresses in British fashion. This is the design that Geri Halliwell, of the Spice Girls, wore for the group's iconic performance at the Brit Awards held in February 1997.

Ginger Spice was the star of this show thanks to her look. “It was a £5 tea towel over a Gucci minidress,” she confessed in her British memoir, If Only. Halliwell had chosen, together with her stylist at the time, a very short design from the Italian brand, in black, which was very normal and even boring for such an important moment.

A few days before the performance, the singer asked her sister to sew this cloth with the Union Jack on the front of the dress and decorated the back with a peace symbol. An outfit that exposed her black underwear and that she wore with red vinyl ankle boots with a considerable platform. As the protagonist said, with this style that she went around the world, she wanted to “celebrate being born British.”
