Mamma Mia started out as a successful Broadway show, then they made it into a movie and it made hundreds of millions of dollars and became one of the biggest hits of Meryl Streep’s career. Well, they made a sequel: Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! And they brought everyone back and added some new people. New people like… Cher. Either you are all-in or you’re just here to look at photos. That’s how I’m feeling too – it’s just nice to see a premiere where everyone looks so happy and pleased to be promoting this super-silly movie where people sing and dance and Cher wears a wig. WHY NOT? Why not, in these troubled times?
I especially like these photos of Mary Louise Streep and Cherilyn Sarkisian making out on the blue carpet. Meryl and Cher are old friends – they’ve known each other and loved each other since they did Silkwood 35 years ago.
More photos…Cher and Meryl, solo looks. Cher looks amazing. Meryl looks like she was phoning it in sartorially.
Amanda Seyfried in a smart suit.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are fine!
Pierce Brosnan is so dapper! Keely looks nice too.
I feel like Lily James overdressed a bit?
Colin Firth and Livia… walking a major premiere carpet for the first time since the world learned that she was banging some dude who ended up stalking her and harassing her.
LOOK AT THANDIE NEWTON WITH HER DAUGHTERS OMG.
This cast photo is amazing:

Love these pictures. I’m totally watching this movie. Any distraction offered; get our minds off the tragedy that has become America’s international reputation!
Uhm, Cher does not look amazing in comparison to Meryl. She is so plastic and goth and it’s a bit tacky for my taste. Meryl looks lovely in the blue dress, it flatters her.
I was going to say the same thing. Cher’s face is losing its uniqueness and the tacky top is just kinda sad. I will give her credit for actually wearing pants, though.
Meryl should think about exercising or going on a diet.
Jesus rollerskating Christ, Meryl looks fine.
“A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.” ― Naomi Wolf
“All my life, I’ve had a body worth commenting on and if living in my skin has taught me anything it’s that if it’s not your body, it’s not yours to comment on.” — Julie Murphy
I agree, I never understood why people praised her overabundance of plastic surgery. She was once a gorgeous woman who would have aged well, but went the Joan Rivers path instead… That said, I love the curly wig.
I gave up on the first movie after fifteen minutes. I thought it was horrendous.
It was a slog alright. I like all the cast members so, so much (except Lily James – was she in the first? I don’t know her) and barely made it. I just wanted to cringe.
Thank you, @Rescue Cat. I love ABBA’s music but I got half way through the first movie and fell asleep. I love Cher, but not going to see this.
For me Mamma Mia not only almost ruined Abba’s songs for me but it was also prime candidate for a Try not to Cringe Challenge.
Thandie’s daughters are stunning little girls. Wonder if they’ll soon be entering the biz?
They look like mini Thandies! Maybe they don’t IRL, but they’ve copied their mother’s posing?
Lily James looks as if she is channeling SJP from Sex and the City. Thandie’s girls are just stunning!
Cher is Cher. I rarely “like” her outfits, but she’s Cher, so whatever.
Meryl would look great minus those shoes.
Everyone else looks great, I think. I love Tom Hanks’ look.
I’m so done with the constant fawning over Meryl Streep, which the promo for this movie has been pushing hard. She’s so overrated and one one of those adamantly “I’m not a feminist” people. Ugh. Can we stop giving her all the roles for her age range? I’m so tired of her.
Cher, on the other hand, is great.
Keely would have looked wonderful if the frouf had been removed from that dress, really detracts. Colin looks sexy ah, he and Livia look beautiful together. The Hanks look wonderful and fun together as usual. Agree with all that Thandie Newton’s whole family is exceptionally gorgeous. Meryl looks nice, but I just can’t with Cher’s face. 🙁
Did not like the puffballs on Keely’s dress. What the heck was that. Actually all the ladies’ dresses were awful.
Tom and Rita look utterly fabulous.
Not loving Cher’s look. She looks like she’s headed to a Halloween party. Just so heavy and overdone and it feels out of place for the vibe of this movie.
Where’s Julie Walters tho?
I didn’t know Meryl’s real name is Mary Louise! I love Silkwood and Cher and Meryl are the shit, but I couldn’t watch more than 20 minutes of Mama Mia (and I love me some Abba) so I won’t be watching this mess either. Muriel ‘s Wedding is a much better use of Abba songs.
Find someone to love you the way Meryl loves herself lol! These two are cemented in history. I wonder what they will be like later in life?
Where’s Stellan? Other than that, Thandie’s daughters have great hair.
Love Mamma Mia, really worried about this sequel though, it doesn’t look that promising. Hope I’m wrong.
OMG the Harry Potter bag!!!! Where did she get this bag??? I need one ASAP!
