The ‘Emily in Paris’ star called the birthday wishes from the group a “gift”

Lily Collins is all about Girl Power on her 35th birthday!

On Monday, the Spice Girls shared a selfie of Collins pouting and sporting a white Spice Girls T-shirt on their Instagram Story with the caption, “Happy birthday @lilyjcollins! 💕🎂.”

In response, the Emily in Paris star reposting the snap on her Instagram Story with the caption, “I ACTUALLY CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS. WHAT A GIFT!!!!” She also added an exploding head emoji.

Collins also celebrated her birthday by looking back on the last five years portraying Emily Cooper on Netflix’s Emily in Paris.

“Celebrating today the most special way possible. I never could have imagined after [creator Darren Star] called me on my 30th asking me to be Emily that 5 years later, I’d be married to my favorite person with our hilarious pup visiting the set of season 4! 35 is my new favorite birthday already…” she wrote beside a photo of her husband Charlie McDowell visiting her on set with their dog.

Collins is a huge fan of the Spice Girls and attended the girl group’s Spice World tour back in June 2019. In a video shared on her Instagram at the time, she could be seen in the crowd rocking a white Spice Girls T-shirt, a leopard-print skirt and Baby Spice-inspired pigtails.

“The moment they stepped on stage, I’m like…” Collins captioned the clip, which saw her screaming and mouthing the words, “Oh my f—— God,” at the camera.

Earlier this month, Mel B revealed that a Spice Girls reunion of some kind is “definitely” happening in 2024 during an appearance on U.K. talk show Loose Women.

After co-host Christine Lampard told Mel B, “We need happiness, we need empowerment back again, we need Spice Girls back basically,” the musician responded, “Tell me about it… we are definitely doing something.”

“I’m probably going to get told off [for revealing that], but I’ve said it. There you go,” the singer added. “I’m in trouble now.”

Mel B’s comments came after the group celebrated their 30th anniversary earlier this month.

In a video posted on the Spice Girls’ account on X (formerly Twitter), all five singers — Mel B, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell Horner and Melanie Chisholm — could be seen dancing, singing and rehearsing with one another.

“Today marks the 30th anniversary of the very first Spice Girls auditions!” the clip compilation was captioned. “What started back in 1994 has turned into an amazing journey, way beyond anything we could have ever imagined. Thank you to our fans for your support from day one #FriendshipNeverEnds.”
