The 'Absolutely Fabulous' Holiday Special Preview Is Here

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

The burst of divinity known as Absolutely Fabulous is finally coming back to television. Next month, the BBC will air a brand new AbFab holiday special, and the very first preview is right here for your viewing pleasure. But can we talk about the outfits for a sec?

Edina Monsoon doesn't seem to be wearing LaCroix, darling: instead she's sporting a head-to-toe denim ensemble. (Do they say "Canadian Tuxedo" in England?) The outfit includes a flowy jean skirt which her mother says looks like "her jeans exploded." And my girl Bubble (pictured) is her same drippy self, sporting lots of pink, a big chunky pastel bracelet, some sort of leaf-things in her hair, and trying to use an iPad as an Etch-a-sketch.

There are no Saffy or Patsy sightings yet, but that only makes us want more. Can some kind reader in the UK please make a DVD of the special for us?
