Whether you experienced the 90s firsthand or not, the enduring appeal of the Spice Girls is impossible to dismiss, which explains why former Baby Spice Emma Bunton continues to attract countless admirers seeking style guidance. In a recent Instagram post, followers were amazed by her youthful appearance, with one fan enquiring: “Are you aging backwards” whilst another commented: “Yeah definitely called Baby Spice for a reason. Still looks so young.”
Others, meanwhile, were eager for information about her ensemble, with one questioning: “Love the top in the 3rd pic. Anyone know where it’s from?” Fortunately for admirers of her aesthetic, we’ve located her precise waist-defining blouse, which is the Clare Blouse in shade Berry Business from Damson Madder.

The Clare Blouse represents one of those essential wardrobe pieces that you can turn to repeatedly, functioning equally well in professional settings as it does for evening meals or casual outings with mates. Beyond creating a flattering silhouette by nipping in at the waist, its striped design and front button fastening make it as versatile as your go-to button-down shirt.
Crafted from 100% organic cotton, it maintains its sharp structure and form whilst remaining breathable and comfortable, ensuring year-round wearability. Instead of a traditional collar, it features a square neckline that complements various bust measurements, plus an extended length that flows gracefully over the hips for an attractive silhouette.
The Clare Blouse, with its figure-flattering shape and adjustable tie belt at the waist, is a versatile addition to any wardrobe. You can choose to fasten the belt at the front or back for a cinched-in silhouette, or remove it entirely for a more laid-back look.
Currently available in sizes six to 20, this stylish piece is priced at £70 on the Damson Madder website. We’ve also found some fantastic alternatives, including the slightly more affordable Charlize Blouse, also from Damson Madder, priced at £65.
If you’re looking for something a bit different, the Topshop Asymmetric Placket Waisted Cinched Shirt is available at ASOS for £38. It features a burgundy and pale blue stripe print and a cinched-in waist design. Alternatively, the Omnes Kaloppe Top in Stripe, priced at £59, offers a unique take on the shirt style with a shirred bodice and voluminous sleeves for a flattering fit, reports the Mirror.
