Style Steals from Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie!
The big-screen version of the fashion world's favourite sitcom is finally here - Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is released today! A veritable who's-who of the industry's biggest names, led by stars Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley looking, well, absolutely fabulous over twenty-five years after gifting Eddy and Patsy to the world, the film's premiere was guaranteed to provide a feast of show-stopping fashion for us to pore over. Read on for our key picks of who rocked the red carpet and the lookalike dresses you can buy right here! Julia Sawalha was a far cry from stuffy Saffy in her glittering fit and flare dress; channel her glitzy style in this embellished Gatsbylady flapper dress with flattering drop waist. Gatsbylady Art Deco Flapper Dress in Pink, £89 Jourdan Dunn looked incredible in her Antonio Berardi gold jacquard mini dress; create the illusion of longer legs just like hers (well we can dream!) in our Dynasty London Portia Dress. Look out for her cameo with the rest of her London supermodel posse... Dynasty London Portia Dress in Gold, £329 The premiere was awash with stars who had barely aged since Eddy and Patsy popped their first bottle of bolly; and the princess of pop was no different. Kylie Minogue is renowned for defying her years and she didn't fail to deliver in the glamour stakes wearing this red Roberto Cavalli maxi dress; get the look for less in our Honor Gold Gabriella Maxi Dress. She also recorded the theme tune for the film! Honor Gold Gabriella Maxi Dress in Red, £115 You can always count on Daisy Lowe to vamp it up, and she certainly brought the bombshell factor in her shimmery Vivienne Westwood floor-sweeper. If you want to turn up the va-va-voom like Daisy, who also filmed a cameo in the movie, shop our lookalike Lily dress from our own Little Black Dress Collection! The LBD Lily Dress, was £180 now £54! Ella Eyre has monochrome style mastered in her sweeping Escada gown, but you don't need a designer budget to make this look your own; combine block stripes to make Beetlejuice weep with a ladylike length in our Forever Unique Penny Stripe Print Midi Dress. And yes, you've guessed it...Ella makes a cameo in the film too! Forever Unique Penny Stripe Print Midi Dress, £140 Emma Bunton appeared in the original Absolutely Fabulous series back when girl power was still going strong, playing an old school friend of Saffy's and new client of Eddy's in the memorable episode where Saffy reveals she has become pregnant while doing missionary work in Africa. Wear flouncy florals like Baby Spice herself in this pretty Lipstick Boutique Sistaglam Eli Dress. Lipstick Boutique Sistaglam Eli Dress, £75 Dawn French made the most of her turn on the red carpet in this floral ensemble. The co-creator of Absolutely Fabulous and executive producer of the movie wore this delightful floral headpiece, which you can copy for a snip in this GG's Pin-Up Couture Rainbow Flower Headband. Who could forget the episode she also appeared in back in the first series, as a chat show host questioning an unusually speechless Patsy in a style feature for her magazine...in fact, who even remembers Patsy was supposed to have a job? GG's Pin-Up Couture Rainbow Flower Headband, £35 The Absolutely Fabulous Movie fashion rundown wouldn't be complete without Kate Moss herself, who plays a central role in the plotline in her much-publicised "You've killed Kate Moss!" cameo. She looked as cool and flawless as you'd expect from the style icon as she filmed her scene emerging from the freezing River Thames in a shimmering high-neck Jean Paul Gaultier maxi gown; steal her style without the designer price tag in this D. Anna Teal Sequin Maxi Dress! D.Anna Teal Sequin Embellished Maxi Dress, £139 And as if the film's release wasn't exciting enough, our very own Little Black Dress team member and designer Alesha Dixon makes an appearance too!
