Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress has topped a new poll counting down the 'Ten Most Iconic Dresses' of the past 50 years.

The 37-year-old wore the outfit as part of The Spice Girls to the 1997 Brit Awards.

Elizabeth Hurley's safety pin dress took the number two spot in the poll, conducted by online fashion shop Offers Supermarket.

Speaking to the The Daily Telegraph, Eve Atkins, founder of Offers Supermarket, said: "Everybody remembers the moment Geri Halliwell hit the stage in that Union Jack dress."

She added: "It made everybody watching the Brit Awards feel patriotic, plus she looked amazing. I was shocked to realise it was simply a tea towel sewn on to a basic dress, with no designer involved."

Halliwell reportedly made the dress herself.

Lady GaGa's white robe which she wore to the recent Brit Awards and Björk's swan Oscar dress also made the list.
