Meg Ryan, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debra Messing at ‘The Women Premiere’
Their latest flick is called The Women, so it was fitting that the movie's premiere should be a girly affair. Screen sirens Meg Ryan, Jada Pinkett Smith and Debra Messing teamed up with the rest of the all-female cast for a ladies' night to fete the sassy comedy drama on Thursday.
The new movie is a remake of the 1939 film of the same name, and focuses on a wealthy New Yorker - played by Meg - who leaves her unfaithful husband and strikes up friendships with other society women.
American Beauty actress Annette Bening was on hand for the red carpet event too, as were Sex And The City star Candice Bergen, model Eva Mendes and veteran entertainer Bette Midler.
It wasn't an exclusively girls-only do, though. Men In Black actor Will Smith turned out to support wife Jada, while Warren Beatty also played the role of supportive husband to wife of 16 years Annette.

Becki Newton adores her role as a superbitch on ‘Ugly Betty’
Ugly Betty star Becki Newton adores her role as superbitch Amanda Tanen in the hit US show.
'This is my dream role - I’ve always loved comedy,' she says. 'I’m not afraid to go completely over the top.
'A lot of people are scared to seem silly or to embarrass themselves and I really don’t have that at all – I don’t mind making a fool of myself.
'I like to just have fun and really go for it.'
Becki, 30, who is married to actor Chris Diamantopoulos, gets on well with co-star America Ferrera.
'America's an amazing dancer,' she reveals. 'We sometimes have dance parties on set. We listen to a lot of Gwen Stefani, a lot of Kanye West, a lot of Rihanna – we’ll bust a move to just about anything.'
And there's a chance that on-screen the pair will start getting on better and become special pals.
'I think that possibly Amanda's relationship with Betty could be explored more – not on a romantic level, just as a friend,' says Becki, '...but then again, you never know!'

Audrina Patridge Makes Cameo on New Sitcom
Hills star Audrina Patridge is celebrating after news she’s made it as an actress—well, kinda.
The reality star is crossing over to primetime network television as she shares news she will make a cameo on a new sitcom.
“I’m having a great day! My manager and agent just called to tell me that I’ve been offered a guest appearance on a new comedy series airing on Fox this fall,” the aspiring actress wrote on her official website.
She will appear on Jerry O’Connell’s new show, Do Not Disturb.
So what’s the show about?
“It takes place in New York City at a swanky hotel. But, behind the scenes, there is a major struggle for power between the manager Neal (O’Connell) and the human resources manager Rhonda (Niecy Nash),” Patridge explains.
She will play a guest staying in the hotel.
Patridge admits she finds O’Connell “hysterical.”
