It’s been 22 years since the Spice Girls broke up, but it looks as if one is set to make a comeback—in a different way, at least.

Victoria Beckham—a.k.a Posh Spice—has been dropping some Spice-related hints on her Instagram account, sharing multiple throwback images of the ’90s girl group alongside the hashtag #PoshIsBack. 

Since Beckham has chosen not to join Spice Girls reunion tours, fans began to hope that she had changed her mind. However, as of October 1, Beckham cleared up the rumours by announcing the release of a Posh-inspired range of lipsticks.  

Taking to her Victoria Beckham Beauty Instagram, she opened up about how she came to be Posh Spice and how her stage persona helped to inspire the woman she is today.

“I was given the name Posh in 1996 over lunch with Peter Loraine of Top of The Pops Magazine and the rest of the Spice Girls,” the post read.

“I can’t say it would’ve been my first choice, but I ultimately grew into it on my own terms. I was young and shy, and being Posh helped me find my style and confidence, and my voice.”

She continued: “After the Spice Girls, I distanced myself from the nickname because it had unwavering momentum of its own. I wanted to find my own direction.”

While Beckham was not originally a fan of the name, the designer revealed that she has found a new appreciation for it.

“Now, years later, I look back at that formative time with appreciation. Posh forever changed the course of my life, opening the door for me to go after my dreams,” she wrote.

“This week, I celebrate Posh with the launch of Posh Lipstick. It is deeply personal—lipstick has always given me confidence when I needed it and extra spice when I already had it.”

She concluded by announcing that each shade is “inspired by a specific memory, and whilst the moments may have been my own, the energy and emotion is shared by us all. This is an ode to our lifelong journeys of self discovery as women.”

“Posh is back.
