Baby Spice, I think it was.
But yeah, The Spice Girls were just a novelty act marketed as representing the pure pop angle of a perceived upturn in British culture (Trainspotting, Damien Hirst, Pulp/Blur/Oasis/Suede, Alexander McQueen, David Beckham, etc.). It was all a bit silly, and cynically hijacked by Tony Blair as part of his whole 'Cool Britannia' thing, but in balance it was a lot of fun, and did reflect a certain confidence/optimism in the country at the time. Certainly compared with where we are now.
