Mel B, Spice Girls fame, has never hesitated to show off her impressive physique, and it was no exception when Mel stepped out in Manhattan just before her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in a form-fitting dress from Laquan Smith’s Fall 2016 collection.
Taking advantage of a height-boosting trick favored by celebrities, her choice of Christian Louboutin’s popular So Kate pumps in nude created the illusion of longer legs.

Promoting America’s Got Talent in Signature Scary Spice Style
As it turns out, Scary Spice was in town to promote the 11th season of the reality talent competition “America’s Got Talent.”
Known for her bold, confident, and in-your-face personality, Mel gave us some background intel on the show and talked a bit about how her fellow judges teased her about her accent.
“Heidi and Simon always take the Mick out of how I say ‘buzzer,” she said. “And the way that they say it, they go ‘buzzer,’ like I sound I’ve been smoking 50,000 cigarettes and I’m on my deathbed.”

Why Nude Louboutin Pumps Are a Celebrity Favorite
Mel B rounded out her look with a pair of nude pumps by Christian Louboutin that elongated her legs by creating the illusion of a longer leg line.
She stepped into the iconic “So Kate” pumps, featuring sharply pointed toes and a sleek 4.5-inch stiletto heel that added height and sophistication. The pointed toe of the pump also helped to elongate her feet, while the stiletto heel lifted and stretched her calf muscles, further enhancing the illusion of longer legs.
