Leading the arrivals was none other than Jamie Lee Curtis, looking absolutely stunning in a dazzling sequined silver dress.

The legendary actress, 66, was joined by a veritable Who's Who of Hollywood A-listers, including Zooey Deschanel, who sparkled in a patterned black minidress and embellished tights.

The forthcoming film comes 41 years after This Is Spinal Tap redefined the mockumentary genre with its behind the scenes look at the hapless antics of a fictional British rock group

And trust us, he should be! This Is Spinal Tap is an absolute cultural touchstone that has left its mark on film and music forever.

This Is Spinal Tap has a whopping 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes and has been praised by many thanks to a hilarious script and numerous memorable quotes (pictured onstage in 1984)

Curtis looked glamorous in a sequined silver dress as she made her way across the red carpet with her husband, who reprises his role as hapless guitarist Nigel Tufnel in the new film
