Today, Blake Lively has a slew of movies under her belt and has two kids with husband Ryan Reynolds, but back in 1997, she was just your average Spice Girls fan who dressed up at their concerts. Fellow concert goer Bria Madrid just unearthed an old photo of her posing with a 10-year-old Lively, who was dressed to the nines as Baby Spice—pigtails and sky-high platforms included.

"Thanks @briaaamadrid for the photo of us at the Spice Girls concert," Lively captioned her Instagram. "Sorry -not sorry- I tricked you into thinking I was @emmaleebunton." As it turns out, Emma Bunton herself is one of Lively's followers, and after the former Spice Girl commented on her post, Lively had the funniest reaction. "Forever bowing down to you. I cannot believe you know who I am. This will never be normal." Just another day in the life of celebs on Instagram, right? Scroll down to see the cute post for yourself.
