In a new shot from the flick, the pair can be seen all glammed up for the new version of the blockbuster about how a girl group experiences turmoil after one of their members turns to drugs and another achieves their desired fame alone.
Whitney said: ‘Part of the fun of making this movie is definitely the costumes and the hairstyles. The movie is set in 1963, and we had a great wardrobe, hair and makeup person and I loved wearing the outfits.’
Co-star Jordin spoke highly of the diva to People magazine.
‘She was so cool and very motherly toward me. If I ever looked like I needed something, here she came saying ‘Are you okay?’
‘I sang her songs into a hairbrush when I was little. Now she’s acting as my mum and scolding me. It was a dream come true.’
