We've got the low-down on their stunning stage outfits, and trust us, this info will blow your mind! The band's stage outfits have been designed by award-winning costume designer Gabriella Slade and she told HELLO! that a whopping one million Swarovski crystals were used to illuminate the stage across more than 100 costumes worn by the Spice Girls and their backing dancers.
