Mel B Makeover: Fab Or Fail?

As the most outlandish member of the 90s girl group The Spice Girls, Melanie Brown (aka, Mel B) sported a mass of curly hair, a loud Leeds accent, an aggressive attitude, and flashy outfits (often featuring leopard prints), all of which helped earn her the moniker “Scary Spice.” Melanie busted out on her own after the group split up, but had moderate success as a solo recording artist.

After moving to Los Angeles from England, Melanie was embroiled in a bitter paternity battle with Eddie Murphy after claiming she was pregnant with his baby in 2006. The paternity test proved that the baby was indeed Eddie’s and Mel B named him “Beverly Hills Cock.” After the drama had settled, Mel B formed a family with new hubby Stephen Belafonte and competed on Dancing With the Stars. Melanie has replaced the “Scary” outfits of the ’90s with a more demure, glamorous look and she’s straightened her formerly wild hair. Her ripped abs and classy look solidify her as a Hollywood M.I.L.F.
