LONDON — “What is Christmas, but a party you have to host,” moaned actress Jennifer Saunders, in character as Edina Monsoon from the “Absolutely Fabulous” series.
Saunders – and former Spice Girl Emma Bunton – were part of the entertainment at Stella McCartney’s annual Christmas lights party on Tuesday night here.
Guests, including Sir Paul McCartney, Kate Moss, Bob Geldof, Alexa Chung, Mariella Frostrup and Barbara Daley, gathered at the designer’s Bruton Street flagship.
Saunders, who will be starring in three new episodes of “Absolutely Fabulous” next month, regaled the crowd with her musings on PR and fashion. She finished off by singing “Oh Holy Night,” with help from Sir Paul.
“Jennifer’s a very talented and iconic woman - and the show has made its way into British history,” said Stella McCartney. “And it’s just bloody funny.”
But McCartney had other reasons for inviting Saunders to the shop. “I also hear she has particularly good taste in her new choice of clothes on the show,” said the designer, referring to Monsoon’s newfound love for the Stella McCartney brand.
Christian Lacroix was the character’s designer of choice in episodes from the Nineties.
