Geri Horner is elegant in white dress and £780 Louboutin heels as she puts on united front with Christian at Bahrain Grand Prix following leaked text message scandal

Geri Horner looked effortlessly elegant in a white dress as she put on a united front with husband Christian at the Bahrain Grand Prix today.

The former Spice Girl, 51, flew out to Bahrain in a show of solidarity after her husband's leaked text messages rocked Formula One. 

The mother-of-two kept her look classic and minimal for the race this afternoon as the couple appeared in public for the first time since Christian's texts leaked online.

Geri opted for a sleeveless white, knee-length dress featuring bandage detail around the waist.

She paired her knee-length dress with a pair of £780 nude peep-toe high heels by Christian Louboutin.

The former singer completed her timeless ensemble with a square black handbag.

Geri styled her auburn hair in loose waves and kept her jewellery minimal except for a pair of diamond stud earrings. 

Horner was cleared to continue as Red Bull head following an internal probe into 'inappropriate behaviour' by the F1 team's parent company, Red Bull GmbH. The 50-year-old has always denied the claims. 

The Red Bull F1 boss initially broke cover at the Grand Prix on Saturday morning with no sign of his wife Geri Halliwell after his wife found out the texts were leaked as she was flying in a private jet.

Yet the couple walked hand-in-hand in the Paddock ahead of the season opener in Bahrain. Halliwell appeared red-eyed as she put on a brave face, smiling while her husband clenched her hand.  

Earlier this week, Halliwell, 51, and her husband, 50, had breathed a collective sigh of relief on Wednesday when Red Bull cleared Horner of inappropriate behaviour allegations which were made by a female employee.

But 24 hours later, flirtatious WhatsApp messages apparently exchanged between Horner and the female complainant were leaked to 149 F1 figures while Halliwell was on a flight to see her husband ahead of this weekend's season opener in Bahrain.

An insider previously told the Mail it would be 'mayhem' if Geri showed her face at Saturday's Grand Prix.

Halliwell, who married the Red Bull team principal in 2015, went 'into meltdown' when she touched down in the Gulf state on a private jet on Thursday and discovered the bombshell messages had been plastered all over social media.

The 51-year-old singer has a son, Montague George Hector Horner, with Horner.

She also has a daughter, Bluebell Madonna, born in 2006, with former partner and screenwriter Sacha Gervasi.

Fashion expert Lisa Talbot said Geri's outfit was particularly significant today.

The personal stylist told FEMAIL: 'The colour properties represent cleanliness, purity, virtue, tranquillity and new beginnings in the for of a fresh start or blank slate.

'The dress itself is structured in the upper body which for me shows strength, with a soft feminine touch shown in the skirt, a style similar to those created by Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney.' 

In an interview with The Sun in 2021, Geri - who was famous for her colourful wardrobe during her Spice Girls days - explained why she mostly wears white now.

She said: 'Everything becomes really simple. It's like wearing a school uniform as an adult. 

'It matches with everything and I literally don't have to think in the mornings. It kind of looks like you've made an effort when you haven't.'
