On Dec. 15, 1997, the Spice Girls descended upon London't Leicester Square for the premiere of their feature film, "Spice World.: The Movie."

In May 1998, months after the film's international release, Halliwell would shock fans by announcing her decision to leave the band. The news came days before the Spice Girls were set to begin the U.S. leg of their world tour, marking the beginning of the end of spice-mania.

Now, 24 years later, we're looking back on the cast of "Spice World: The Movie," and checking in on the group and the film's high-profile supporting cast and famous cameos.

Since the Spice Girls, Beckham's claim to fame came in the world of fashion. Along with husband David, the pair have navigated successful brand deals and fragrances before the singer launched her own brands, Victoria Beckham and Victoria by Victoria Beckham, in the early 2000s.

In 2019, Beckham expanded her fashion empire to include Victoria Beckham Beauty and continues to have her apparel worn by the likes of Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex and Lady Gaga.

The now 47-year-old is mother to four children, 22-year-old Brooklyn, 19-year-old Romeo, 16-year-old Cruz and 10-year-old daughter Harper Seven.

Moore may always been known as James Bond, but the actor flexed his comedy muscles as the head of the Spice Girls's music label in "Spice World'.

The movie would be one of Moore's last film roles, although he continued to appear in TV movies and lend his voice to projects. Moore died in 2017 at the age of 89 after a "short but brave" battle with cancer.
