Jennifer Saunder's Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie costume on display...

This Summer Jennifer Saunders reprises her role as 'Edina Monsoon', one half of the iconic comedy duo 'Patsy & Eddie', now starring in their first big screen outing, Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie. Based on a 1990 sketch with her comedy partner on their BBC show French & Saunders, the sitcom (also known as Ab Fab) about a hard-drinking, youth-obsessed PR agent, with bad taste in high fashion and her hard-partying, long-time friend and enabler, 'Patsy Stone' (played by Joanna Lumley), first ran for three seasons from 1992 to 1995, then spawned countless extra series and one-off specials.

Garish designer labels are favoured by Eddie but she rarely looks good in them and this outlandish costume from the film (from 2001 to 2004 TV Series Costume Designer Rebecca Hale), was photographed on display at ArcLight Hollywood cinema on June 29, 2016 (although it looks like Patsy's costume may have gone walkabout, as there's space in that display cabinet for two mannequins).

In the comedy caper, the partners-in-crime are still shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London's trendiest hot-spots when a major incident at a high-profile party leads the pair to flee to the French Riviera to escape the paparazzi.
