The Spice Girls to be kitted out in Versace

Donatella has already started working on her exclusive creations for the band, which consists of Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell - who kick off their world tour in December.

Sources close to the band told British newspaper 'The Daily Mirror': "Donatella was a big fan of the girls back in the day and as soon as she heard that a reunion was on the cards she submitted her ideas. There will be several different looks for each of them and the clothes will be worth over $400,000."

Donatella is said-to-be determined that each singer will have an individual look, but won't be rigorously sticking to the girls' previous personas, Sporty, Baby, Ginger, Scary & Posh.

The source added: "She wants the girls to retain their band personas but in a much less obvious way than before. Mel C won't be wearing ill-fitting sportswear instead she'll have a really sexy wardrobe. Emma will wear stunning, elegant dresses with a playful touch.

"Donatella thinks they look better than many bands half their age and should show that off."
