10-Year-Old Blake Lively's Baby Spice Costume Reviewed by Actual Baby Spice
Before Blake Lively was the golden-haired A-list goddess we know and love, she was just your average 10-year-old Spice Girls super fan. And there's proof.
The internet lost its collective mind on Saturday when Spice Girls concert-goer Bria Madrid (just your average Spice Girls stan who definitely deserves a lot more recognition here) unearthed a photo of her five-year-old self posing with a big kid dressed as Baby Spice (aka Emma Bunton). Who is this “big kid,” you ask? Why, it’s none other than 10-year-old Blake Lively!
Found a picture when I was 5 at my first concert. #SpiceGirls and took a picture with a girl dressed up as Baby Spice who I just realized now was @blakelively pic.twitter.com/GN6AW9fg0e

It didn’t take long for Lively to take control of the narrative, posting the photo on both her Twitter and Instagram accounts.

And while Madrid was reeling from Lively’s shout-outs, Blake was about to experience a fangirl moment of her own …
Bunton chimed in on the photo as well, writing, “So cute, you’re rocking those pigtails,” and it nearly killed Lively—JK, but she did use a lot of skull emojis in her response:
Spice up your life. #CommentsByCelebs

Cute, Blake, but are you really surprised that a former Spice Girl knows your name? C'mon, everyone knows your name.
