The pair hit the red carpet, sporting ensembles by favourite designers Stella McCartney and Jean Paul Gaultier, to loud cheers.
“It’s taken us three weeks to get dressed,” Saunders joked, while Lumley, 70, told fans: “Expect fabulous beauty, danger, bad behaviour and quite a lot of celebrities.”
Saunders, 57, wrote the eagerly anticipated film spin-off of the hit BBC show after comedy partner Dawn French bet her £10,000 that she’d never do it.
She reprises her role as fashion PR Edina [Eddy] Monsoon alongside Lumley’s infamous Patsy Stone – the chainsmoking, champagneswigging socialite.
