“It's brilliant that you're beautiful from the outside, but also she's beautiful with a book in her back pocket,” Halliwell-Horner continued. “I love that. We can be all things. Good for her!"
The former Spice Girl called the SKIMS founder “amazing" and a “very good role model.”
"She's smart. She's really been inspiring the way she's turned that business around and also for women to celebrate your curves. I really like that about her,” Halliwell-Horner added.
In last week's episode of The Kardashians, Kardashian visited London with son Saint West, 7½, and friends for a soccer trip, and during a car ride in the city's capital, she shared that she had dressed up as a Spice Girl for a talent show when she was younger.
"I was Victoria. I was Posh, duh,” the reality star said. She also mentioned that Melanie "Mel C" Chisholm had asked her if she’d like to replace Victoria Beckham in the group as they went on tour.
"Sporty Spice wrote a book and signed it inside and she sent it to me saying that they're going on tour and they need a Posh and would I be the Posh?" Kardashian said on the show.
"I mean, I'm sure she was joking. But like, when I was in high school, would I ever have thought that this was, like, a thing? I'm just, like, a girl from high school that loved the Spice Girls and now they're asking me?"
