* [[Always Camp]]
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Melanie C was often labeled the lesbian member of the group by the media, based solely on her clothing choices and love of sports. She regularly denied these claims. She is an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, but has always been heterosexual herself.
* [[Break Up Song]]: "Goodbye", the first single released after Geri's departure.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Geri had one hell of a time before and during her time as a Spice Girl, as did Melanie C, according to her latest memoire.
* [[Briefer Than They Think]]: 3 albums, 2 with the original group, 5 years releasing, 3 tours, yet spearheaded the whole Girl Power! movement and opened the door for many artist late 90's early 00's.
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: Geri, some of the time.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: All of them play up to this in ''[[Spice World]]''. Geri tends to come across as a mild version in her interviews.
* [[Closer to Earth]]: Melanie C
* [[Cultural Rebel]]: That was the plan, anyway
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Melanie C
* [[Daddy's Girl]]: Geri. Partially [[Gender Flip|Gender Flipped]] by Emma, who's very close to her mother.
* [[Dojikko]]: Geri.
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Victoria.
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: Geri alluded to this in one interview, saying that Emma got, "
* [[Failed Audition Plot]]: Completely subverted ''and'' averted by Geri. She showed up to the auditions for the band ''after'' the first round had already been screened and decisions were being made. She wasn't prepared and had very little idea what she was even auditioning for, yet she managed to get a spot as one of the five anyway, much to the chagrin of many of the other hopefuls.
* [[The Fashionista]]: Victoria
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Geri
* [[Flanderization]]: All of them
* [[Forgot Flanders Could Do That]]: Especially egregious with Victoria, who seemed to turn into the one that was just meant to stand there and look pretty. She never got a lead role in any of the songs, and eventually seemed to stop singing altogether. She even parodied herself during the reunion tour when she walked the runway as a fashion model instead of singing a solo like the others. Thing is, the girl can actually sing. Check out her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsOeQCIrAhs&NR=1 audition tape].
* [[Four-Element Ensemble]]: Holler (Fire - Melanie B, Earth - Melanie C, Water - Emma, and Wind - Victoria) and Let Love Lead The Way (first two roles swapped with the latter two)
* [[Five-Man Band|Five-Girl Band]]
** [[The Heroine]]: Geri
** [[The Lancer]]: Melanie B

** [[The Smart Girl]]: Victoria
** [[The Chick]]: Emma
* [[Genki Girl]]: Geri and Melanie B
* [[The Gimmick]]
* [[Greatest Hits Album]]
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Emma
* [[Headbutting Heroes]]: According to the girls themselves, there was ''a lot'' of tension between Geri and Melanie B.
* [[Horned Hairdo]]- Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown
* [[Important Haircut]]: Victoria chopped all of her hair off just before getting married and Geri dyed her signature fire-engine-red hair a much more muted strawberry blonde after she left the group.
* [[Intercourse with You]] / [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: What sounds like a silly arse kicking song in childhood sounds like a sex song in adulthood. 2 Become 1, Holler, If U Can't Dance... and More!
* [[Kick Chick]]: Melanie C's well-known high-kick.
* [[Les Yay]]: The girls did a lot of hugging and kissing of each other when they were in front of the cameras. Behind them, probably not so much. Also, they admitting to catfighting on occasion.
* [[Meganekko]]: Melanie B
* [[Personality Powers]]
* [[Power of Friendship]]: Theme of Headlines (Friendship never Ends) and one of their major messages.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Geri/Mel
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Victoria very rarely smiled during her run with the band. In fact, she smiled so little, that any time she was caught grinning, it was almost shocking to anyone seeing it for the first time. Particularly because she has an absolutely adorable smile.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted with the two Melanies.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Since she was "Sporty Spice"
* [[Shorttank]]: Justified with Melanie "Sporty Spice"
* [[Signature Song]]: "Wannabe" and "Stop"
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Melanie C
* [[The Movie]]: ''[[Spice World]]''.
