Geri Halliwell and her husband Christian Horner put on a loved-up display as they cosy up during 2024 FIA Awards

Geri Halliwell and her husband Christian Horner put on a very convincing performance at the FIA ​​Awards in Kigali, Rwanda on Friday.

The pop icon, 52, and the Red Bull boss, 51, looked in good spirits as they prepared for the glitzy event.

Geri rocked an elegant dress with long sleeves characterized by delicate diamond details and paired the look with silver peep-toe wedges.

She wore a chic white scarf to wrap up against the winter chill and styled her famous red locks in a center parting, the ends of which she loosely curled to add a touch of glamour.

Christian, meanwhile, looked dapper in a tuxedo and posed for photos with his beautiful wife in the back of a taxi and on the red carpet.

Together with Max Verstappen and his girlfriend Kelly Piquet they celebrated Max’s latest Formula 1 world title.

Kelly, who announced earlier this month that she is expecting her first child with the four-time world champion, looked stunning in a floor-length black dress.

She placed her belongings in a silver beaded bag and let her long locks fall freely over her shoulders.

The glamorous outing comes after Geri took to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall to defiantly insist she ‘didn’t belong to anyone’ after becoming embroiled in a scandal when Christian was accused of sending inappropriate messages to a female colleague.

On Thursday night, she regained her power on stage and appeared poised and confident as she chose to read “All My Life I’ve Belonged to No Man” by 19th century radical feminist Flora Tristan during a star-studded edition of Letters Live.

The only reader to give an opening speech, she described Flora as an “inspiration” before reading the “wonderful” letter that she “couldn’t wait to share.”

“I think at least one person here needs to hear this letter tonight,” the 52-year-old told the packed audience at the Royal Albert Hall.

Dressed in a crisp white shirt and black bow tie, the Spice Up Your Life singer read: ‘A superior woman must be superior to everyone and in all circumstances.

“As for declarations of love, I have received hundreds of them, I have the great misfortune to be a beautiful woman.”

She concluded: “I am no longer angry at those who behave badly, even though it hurts me,” a statement that seemed to refer to the scandal that has thrown her personal life into disarray this year.

It comes just months after hundreds of alleged WhatsApp conversations between her Red Bull racing boss husband Christian and a female colleague were released via an anonymous email account.

Mr Horner was accused of sending intimate text messages late at night to a woman in her 40s, who took her concerns to HR at the Formula 1 team.

He has since been cleared of wrongdoing after an internal investigation which allowed him to keep his £8million-a-year job.

At the time, friends of the ex-spice girl warned the scandal would “destroy” Ms Halliwell after she was left “extremely humiliated” by the embarrassing row.

The couple, who married in 2015 and share a seven-year-old son, are said to be putting the furor behind them despite fears their marriage was on the rocks this year.

At the time, sources claimed Ms Halliwell was ‘mortified and angry’ because she firmly supported him during the allegations, which he always denied.

The prosecutor was later suspended following the investigation’s findings, sparking anger from campaign groups who claimed that ‘women simply do not have confidence that their complaints will be properly investigated’.

The spotlight on Horner this year is said to have had an impact on the couple’s family life, which they split between their farm in Oxfordshire and a house in London.

While other stars made multiple appearances at the Letters Live event last night, Ms Halliwell later made a surprise disappearance and notably skipped the curtain call.

Letters Live returned to London’s Royal Albert Hall last night for a special one-off show, marking the 200th anniversary of the RNLI with calls to support the life-saving organisation.

This year’s event follows in the footsteps of previous editions, with stars including Colin Firth, Carey Mulligan, Olivia Colman, Jude Law and Peter Capaldi.
