Bette Midler joined Amanda Seyfried, Stephanie Hsu and Ali Wong on the purple carpet for the New York premiere of Netflix’s animated film Steps.
The 80-year-old actress attended the event at The Plaza Hotel on Sunday night, alongside fellow cast members including Daniel Radcliffe, Young Mazino, Damian Priest and Luna Hamilton.
Steps is due to debut on Netflix on November 20. Midler voices the Fairy Godmother, while Wong and Hsu play sisters Lilith and Margot, with Seyfried voicing Cinderella.
The film reimagines the familiar fairy tale from the perspective of Cinderella’s stepsisters. After Lilith steals the Fairy Godmother’s wand and disrupts the Royal Ball, she and Margot become embroiled in a battle against Priscilla, a schemer who seizes the throne.
Lilith must ultimately join forces with Cinderella as they face biker trolls, escape evil henchmen and journey through the Screaming Woods in an attempt to save the kingdom and repair their relationship.
Hamilton voices the younger version of Hsu’s character, Margot. The premiere brought the principal voice cast together for photographs, including Midler, Seyfried, Hsu, Wong and Radcliffe.
K-pop star Jennie, best known as a member of BLACKPINK, has also contributed to the film with the single Someone to Hold.
In a statement, Jennie said: “I am so excited to join the Steps family and it was really fun making my first song for an animated film! I love how much heart and personality the characters have, and I’m so happy I got to be a little part of their world. I hope you enjoy Steps and ‘Someone to Hold’ as much as I do and I can’t wait for you guys to hear it!”
