Victoria shared the snap on her Instagram Stories, and wrote: "I can't believe it's been 25 years since Wannabe was released!! The song that changed everything…"
She added several gifs to the post, including a heart that said "girl power", one of herself strutting as Posh Spice, and another of the popular lyric: "I really really really wanna zig-a-zig-ah".
Geri shared a zoomed-in version of the same photo, and also shared a black-and-white shot from the group's first photoshoot and a ring emblazoned with the phrase 'Spice Girls'.
Geri explained the meaning behind each of the shots in her post's caption and added: "25 years of 'Wannabe'. Wow. The song that changed the lives of five girls from Britain."
