Emma Bunton dons stockings and hotpants for charity performance of The Rocky Horror Show

Saucy Spice! Emma Bunton dons stockings and hotpants for charity performance of The Rocky Horror Show... as Mel C goes along to support her acting effort

She's no stranger to strutting her stuff on stage, having been one of the Spice Girls for much of her life.
So it was no surprise to see Emma Bunton enjoying herself as she sashayed around on stage for her guest appearance in the one-off gala charity production of The Rocky Horror Show at London's Playhouse Theatre on Thursday evening.
Donning a risqué all-black ensemble featuring racy tights that were designed to look like stockings and suspenders, the 39-year-old pop star looked to be in her element as prowled, preened and pranced through her saucy performance.

Wearing a tiny pair of black hot pants teamed with a tuxedo-style blazer, the singer cut quite the raunchy figure for her role as one-fourth of the evening's narrators.
And thanks to the plunging nature of her suit jacket, Emma's outfit was even more daring thanks to her modesty being solely preserved by a lacy lingerie-style top.
Donning a pair of two-tone stockings, the pop princess' legs matched her alluring outfit, while a pair of killer black heels helped to enhance her sexy performance.

Congratulating Emma following the performance - held in aid of Amnesty International -  Mel, 41, looked delighted with her friends saucy performance.
Dressed slightly more reserved than Emma in her costume, the Spice Girl still looked chic as she teamed a semi-sheer black top with a burgundy leather pencil skirt and heels.
And it looks like it won't be long till Emma and Mel are back on stage together, as The Spice Girls are reportedly set to reunite to mark their 20th anniversary with a world tour.

The girl group released their début single in 1996 and will celebrate two decades in the spotlight by hitting the road together next year - minus Victoria Beckham, who wishes to focus on her fashion brand. 
Speaking to The Sun in August, a source said: 'There is a huge demand for the Spice Girls to get back together, especially with the nostalgia around the two-decade anniversary of their first release next summer.
'Mel B flew into London last month to secretly agree the plan with the other three girls. They should each make more than ten million pounds from this.'

And it's no surprise that Emma and her co-stars were clad in the sexiest of stage outfits, as the show has gone down in history as one of the most sensual and daring of all time, the story focusing on a transvestite scientist and a newlywed couple who accidently stumble upon his home and debauched lifetstyle.

Thursday night's star-studded extravaganza was the highlight of a nine-night run of performances of The Rocky Horror Show at the Playhouse Theatre, each of which starred its creator O'Brien.
Ahead of the big night, Akita Hancock - Amnesty International UK's Events Manager - said: 'We're delighted that so many special guest stars have agreed to be part of what promises to be a spectacular performance.
'The Rocky Horror Show is a fabulous celebration of freedom and expression - a fundamental area of Amnesty's work. So this is a perfect opportunity to rally support for men and women like Ihar Tsikhanyuk [an openly-gay man in Belarus who was beaten by police for campaigning for gay rights] and to call for justice for all transgender people whose rights are under threat.'
