It follows on from the legacy of the iconic 1964 musical adaptation of PL Travers’ Mary Poppins stories, with Julie Andrews receiving critical acclaim for her portrayal as the magical nanny.

Emily wore her hair in soft sleek curls and complemented her fair complexion with a rosy make-up look and pink lipstick.

Ahead of the screening Emily revealed to the Radio Times her children would get angry when they saw her dressed as the legendary character.
Emily admitted her daughter Hazel, four, would tell her to take her wig off because she didn't like seeing her as anything other than her mum.
'It’s weird. So she’d be like, "Take your wig off!" Or, "I just like your blonde hair, I don’t like your Mary Poppins hair",' she said.
Emily is reprising the iconic role 54 years after Julie Andrews first stepped into the character, however the actress said she refused to watch the original movie ahead of her performance.
The original film received 13 Oscar nominations, winning five including Best Actress for Julie.
The Devil Wears Prada star was concerned her acting instincts would be impaired if she were to watch Julie's performance, and therefore delved into the PL Travers books instead.
Despite this and also her lack of contact with Julie, word reached Emily that Julie had approved of the casting of Emily to play the magical nanny.
The mother-of-two said Mary Poppins makes you take a second glance at the world which she added was 'fragile' at this point in time, similarly to when the film was first shot in the early 1960s.
Emily said that she believes the film has the potential to bring people together, while also acting as a mirror for people to reflect on themselves.
This will be the first time for a while that Emily will be able to take her kids to see and also doesn't have to worry about embarrassing her dad.
She added that her children are starting to take a keen interest in her job, as Hazel has begun asking her what scenes she has filmed each day.
Mary Poppins returns follows the story of her revisiting a grown-up Michael and Jane, played by Ben Whishaw and Emily Mortimer.
Step in time! Ahead of the stars making an appearance a cast of dancers performed an energetic routine from the film
The film, directed by Rob Marshall, is set in 1930s London, two decades after the events of the original film, it sees Poppins, the former nanny of Jane and Michael Banks, returning after a family tragedy.
Michael is living with his three children (Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh, and Joel Dawson) and housekeeper Ellen (Julie Walters), in the house on Cherry Tree Lane.
After Michael has a personal loss, Mary Poppins comes back into the lives of the Banks family. She is joined by a street lamplighter named Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), and an eccentric cousin named Topsy (Meryl Streep).
Dick Van Dyke is the only actor from the original to return, portraying the son of one of Mr. Dawes and throws himself into an energetic dance routine on the desk.
When the trailer was released fans were delighted to see Dick, 92, feature, with one writing on Twitter: 'Dick Van Dyke is now fully Mr Dawes, I’m crying!’
Another Twitter user wrote: 'So happy to see Dick Van Dyke is back again and playing the same character in the first Mary Poppins movie!'
Adding: 'He is back dancing on a desk even when he’s 92-years-old!'
One said: 'Dick Van Dyke playing the same character so many years later makes my heart burst, 6 year old [me] is crying and 21 year old me is also crying.’
Mary Poppins is released in UK cinemas on Friday December 21.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
