They were joined by a co-star who hasn’t been seen on the red carpet in the more than a decade as Joan Cusack, who has voiced Jessie for four of the five movies, stepped out for the night.
Joan, 63, looked stylish in a white shirt tucked into a high-waisted floor-length black skirt.
She accessorised with some chunky glasses and a silver watch as she posed up a storm on the carpet.
Joan first shot to fame in the 80s and is known for her roles in Working Girl and In & Out. She landed the part of Jessie in 1999.

The most recent Toy Story movie was released in 2019 and last night Tom, 69, confessed it took very little persuading to get him to return as Woody.
He told the Press Association: “I trust the folks at Pixar so much that when they say, ‘Hey, we have an idea for the next Toy Story movie’, I don’t ask any questions.
“I just show up and say, ‘What do you need from Woody, and I will try to bring it forth for you’.
“When [director Andrew Stanton] asked, ‘you can do anything that you want to here, what do you think?’. He said, ‘I think there’s another Toy Story here’
“I think everybody was surprised – us and the folks at Pixar as well – but here it is.”
Earlier this year fans were left horrified after spotting a bald spot on Woody in the trailer.
At one point in the first-look, Woody takes off his cowboy hat and a bald patch can be seen on his head.
A flash of light shines on the spot and blinds the other toys as Trixie the dinosaur cheekily says: “Someone needs a brown marker.”
Lily the Tablet asks: “What are you? Some sort of old man toy?”
Trixie responds: “She thinks you’re old because you’re bald, Woody!”
The moment didn’t go unnoticed as one viewer commented: “If he is getting old, what does that mean about me?”
Another person said on X: “There was absolutely no reason to give Woody a bald spot.”
Somebody else commented: “Sad to see Woody is going bald.”
