Thanks to @chrislxd for letting us have a little go. We were like two toddlers in a candy shop Can’t wait to watch the movie tonight!”
Fans were quick to share their love for the pictures, with one writing: “Wow this is amazing” and another commenting: “You look gorgeous”. A third added: “See now I’m going to be playing a game of ‘spot Karen’ when I watch!”
