Comedienne Jennifer, who wrote the script, amped up the glamour in a black and blue skirt, slogan T-shirt reading 'gluten free, dairy free, fur free', black coat and towering black and gold Nicolas Kirkwood platform heels.
Meanwhile, her partner-in-crime Joanna looked amazing in her clashing ensemble of a pair of gold trousers, black blazer, leopard-print scarf and sequinned high-heels.
Of course, Joanna couldn't resist having her hair styled in Patsy's signature blonde beehive.

As expected there were a host of familiar faces from the TV show, who had reprised their roles as friends and family of Eddy and Patsy for the big-screen outing.
Julia Sawalha, who plays Eddy's long-suffering daughter Saffy, looked a world away from her character in a low-cut metallic mini dress and strappy heels.
Actress Jane Horrocks appeared to take inspiration from her fashionably-challenged character Bubble in a pink and green co-ordinated trouser and jacket ensemble and a pair of towering pink heels.

Veteran star June Whitfield, 90, best known as playing Eddy's 'Mother', arrived with her actress daughter Suzy Aitchison, while co-star Celia Imrie (aka Eddy's arch rival Claudia Bing) went for full Hollywood glamour in a floor-length aquamarine dress and feathered jacket.
One of the biggest stars in attendance was supermodel Kate Moss, who left boyfriend Count Nikolai von Bismarck at home as she brought BFF, fashion designer Stella McCartney as her date.
Both women are among the celebrity cameos in the film, with Kate being 'killed off' in the movie.

Showing her support for Jennifer was the star's long-time comedy partner Dawn French, who went for a colourful ensemble of pink floral jacket and flowers in her hair.
The new movie features a host of cameos from celebrities playing themselves, so it was no surprise to see plenty of them at the glitzy screening.
Supermodel Jourdan Dunn, who plays herself, showcased her svelte figure in a gold mini dress with a slight train, which she teamed with a pair of red strappy heels.

Model and former Strictly champion Abbey Clancy certainly stood out in an unusual leather mini dress with a painted-on zip and oversized belt design reading 'girl on a motorcycle.
The WAG, who is married to Peter Crouch, brought along her glamorous mother Karen Sullivan. She plays herself in the movie.
The first big screen adaptation of the hit TV comedy features Eddy and Patsy fleeing to the French Riviera after being caught in a media storm.

Jump to it: TV and radio presenter Myleene Klass was rather less flamboyant than a majority of the red carpet in her simple black jumpsuit and peep-toe heels
Also starring in the movie are Rebel Wilson, Lulu, Jean Paul Gaultier, Cara Delevingne and Emma Bunton, among others.
In scenes filmed on location by London's River Thames last November, it looks like supermodel Kate - playing herself - will be killed off.
Wearing a floor-length sequinned number, a chain-smoking and champagne swilling Kate was seen filming scenes wading through the murky waters of the Thames.
Fashionable extras were also spotted creating a shrine to the model by Tower Bridge, suggesting Kate has died.

Dazzling: Celia Imrie, who plays PR rival Claudia Bing in the movie, brought some Hollywood glamour in an aquamarine gown and feathery jacket
Loved up: Newlyweds Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall, who tied the knot in March, looked happy to be in attendance, while Kylie Minogue brought her handsome actor fiance Joshua Sasse
Jennifer revealed that a movie version of the sitcom - which originally ran on the BBC from 1992 - 2012 - was on the cards early last year.
She said the decision was spurred on by co-star Joanna, who told her they had to 'do it before we die'.
Joanna has said of getting back together to shoot the film: 'All the old cast are in it, there are plenty of surprises. It's a fantastic story. It's very funny. It's divine, glamorous, ridiculous and fabulous.'
Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is due for release in UK cinemas on 1 July and US cinemas on 22 July.
