Mel B poses beside lookalike daughter Phoenix for stunning shoot

Mel B posed in a sizzling new lingerie shoot for a confidence boost campaign alongside her lookalike daughter Phoenix.

The Spice Girl, 48, flashes her abs as she models a range of colorful undergarments for Pour Moi’s summer collections in raw images.

In an instant, the mother and daughter duo donned matching lace underwear sets, with Mel dressed in white and Phoenix, 24, in red.

The pair then posed in deep leopard print corset tops and leather pants as they laughed for snaps.

Mel and Phoenix were then joined by Scary Spice’s mother, Andrea, and the trio wore beautiful swimwear and stood by the pool.

Mel’s incredible figure didn’t come without hard work, especially since she got a stone from eating “constantly” during the coronavirus lockdowns, she reveals.

And while she enjoys working up a sweat in her home gym, the singer admits she previously used exercise as a means of escaping her abusive ex-husband Stephen Belafonte, 48, during their 10-year marriage – claims he denies.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the singer talks about how she used her latest project to reclaim her body, her freedom and her family after being snatched from many of her loved ones for a decade.

“During Covid I put on quite a bit of weight,” she confesses. ‘About a stone. I was home a lot, just eating and I felt comfortable because I didn’t go out. So I decided early this year that I would just get back to myself.

“But even when the Spice Girls started, before I got married, I was constantly either going to the gym or eating healthy or making a juice. I was very active in taking care of my body and mind and started meditating a lot.

So this time I literally put myself back out there and gave myself some honest but kind of regulated guidelines.

“Once the lockdown was lifted I realized one of the things that my day in and day out just revolved around the kitchen and the fridge so I changed that and I had to change that.

“I wanted to feel like I had more energy and I think no matter what body shape I’ve had, I’ve always been confident. But I don’t think I’ve ever been more confident, both inside and out, because I’ve really sought out the foods that made me bloat or give me a rash, whether it was eczema or pimples.”

Mel was adamant that the images would not be digitally altered, after seeing many of her famous colleagues look unrecognizable on magazine covers and social media.

She insists, “Well, I’m a bit old-fashioned and back in the day when we did photoshoots for the Spice Girls, we were adamant not to have anything retouched.

And then there was nothing to do anyway. While I’ve found out more, especially in the last five to 10 years, people don’t even look the same when you see them, whether it’s their social media or their photo shoots that they do, whether it’s magazine covers, they look very different.

“I just don’t really see what the point is. Because if you’re doing a shoot where you’re yourself, whatever outfit fits that you think looks really, really good on you, why retouch it? It just gives a fake image. So I was adamant that there would be no retouching.”

The Own Your Confidence campaign is dedicated to women who celebrate women. Mel B and Pour Moi have joined forces with a shared belief that everyone deserves to feel confident, regardless of shape, size or skin color.

It comes after Mel B’s lookalike daughter Phoenix Brown was her famous mother’s doppelgänger as she recreated some of the Spice Girl’s iconic looks from the 1990s heyday.

In photos and videos posted to Instagram and TikTok, Phoenix dressed just like Scary Spice Mel, 47, did in the video for the 1996 hit Say You’ll Be There.

While in other images she wore colorful clothes similar to those worn by Mel on the cover of the 1997 single Spice Up Your Life.

With the look from Say You’ll Be There, Phoenix recreated a glimpse of her midriff while wearing a leopard print crop top that she paired with a black mini skirt with a side split.

She wore a pair of tough black boots as she stood on a gritty gravel road to somewhat mimic the scenery of California’s scorched Mojave Desert, where the Say You’ll Be There video was filmed.

Phoenix’s curly hair was styled to the side, just like her mother’s was at the time of filming, and she held out her clenched fist like her parent did on location.

The video was shot on September 7 and 8, 1996 when Mel was just 21 years old, two years younger than Phoenix is ​​now, and more than three years before Phoenix was born.

Phoenix – who shares Mel with her dancer ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar – captioned the post: “Say you’ll be there – music video shoot (1996).”
