To begin the show, the first of the band's 13-date tour, the brunette beauty slipped into a cobalt blue sequin encrusted crop top and matching high waist leggings that showed off her wash-board abs and toned arms.

Continuing her futuristic inspired ensemble, the star had her tresses styled into a super high ponytail that was intertwined with blue hair extensions to match her sparkling outfit.

Following the striking blue stage outfit, the hit maker wore a similar look crafted out of black and red vinyl material that clung to her shapely figure.

Later on, the star stunned in a white and grey tracksuit that flashed her midriff thanks to its high hemline.

Spice up your shoe collection with Mel C's Louis Vuitton trainers

The Spice Girls reunion tour has finally kicked off, and we couldn't be more excited to get a glimpse of the ladies' glitzy stage looks.

Of course, they all stuck to their personal style; Mel B stepped into a leopard unitard (bedecked in sequins, of course), Emma was in all-pink, and Geri even had an updated version of that iconic Union Jack dress!

But, it might have been Mel C who had the most stylish look of them all. Wearing a sporty co-ord set, the singer accessorised her outfit with a pair of this season's most coveted shoe: the Louis Vuitton 'Archlight' trainer.

Opting for a metallic silver colourway, Mel's shoes had us all in awe. We're obsessed with that stylish chunky sole, plus the LV monogram back loop lets everyone know you mean business!

Opening up about her love of exercise, the singer told The Mirror that Geri was the person who got her in the gym.

She told: 'I’ve never really sat still – I’ve always danced and played hockey – but it was Geri Halliwell who introduced me to the gym. I found it filled a void and as I’ve got older I’ve realised how ­important physical exercise is for me emotionally, as well as for my body.

'I’ve had unhealthy relationships at times with exercise and now I’m older I’ve learned how to look after myself.'

Mel C continued: 'I discovered triathlons in 2011 and I’ve never looked back.'

Ahead of the highly-anticipated return of the iconic pop groups reunion tour, the group's costume designer Gabriella Slade revealed that their individual looks will be 'respectful of their legacy' of catsuits, crop tops and platform boots.

Slade told British Vogue: 'There's a definite honouring of the '90s, but with a contemporary twist. I really wanted to bring back a sense of what the Spice Girls were, what they stood for. It's respectful of their legacy ... that's what the fans want.

And the A-list designer wanted to keep each of the Spice Girls' looks reflective of their own personalities and stay true to each members DNA during their 13-date tour.

She added: 'No-one wanted the typical ''girl band'' look. The dancers' outfits will reflect the DNA of that Spice Girl, There are multiple looks for the dancers as well as the girls, that was an important part of their vision. 

During the show, many fans took to Twitter to share their excitement about attending the concert, others were quick to share their disappointment, as sound problems inside the stadium meant they were unable to hear the show.  

Several also bemoaned the issues given how much they had spent on the sold-out concert, with ticket prices ranging from £66 to £146.

One wrote: 'Sound is so bad... v disappointing,' while another posted: 'Be great if someone could tell the sound people at Spice Girls that the audience can't hear them.'

A third also tweeted: 'There's something wrong when the crowd at @spicegirls concert are all sitting down because no one has a clue what song is on because the sound really is THAT bad.'

'Sound! Sort the sound out @spicegirls team. Is it the band or the sound engineer?' a fan angrily posted.      

They also kicked off the show with empowering message, addressing the crowd with the words: 'We welcome all ages, all races, all gender identities, all countries of origin, all sexual orientations, all religions & beliefs, all abilities.'
