Who: Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders.

When: Monday, July 18.

Where: The premiere of Absolutely Fabulous in New York, New York.

What: Both wear bright, patterned jackets by The Blonds.

Why: In keeping with the film’s tongue-in-cheek tone, the Ab Fab ladies opt for bold statements on the New York red carpet — we can easily imagine Patsy and Edina donning similar looks. New York-based brand The Blonds have recently outfitted Gwen Stefani, Demi Lovato, and Miley Cyrus on stage, and London imports Saunders and Lumley seem fitting characters to act as the designers’ latest red carpet muses. Clearly, they didn’t leave their outrageous style back in Britain.
