They star together in an irreverent new spoof miniseries.

And SNL alums Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig were suitably dressed for the premiere.

Will, 46, recycled his wacky money suit from the MTV Move Awards last year, while 40-year-old Kristen opted for a flashy patterned dress at the screening of The Spoils Of Babylon in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Will looked typically zany in his suit, which sported a pattern of dollar bills.

He paired the jazzy outfit with a striped tie and retro tortoise-shell sunglasses.

The comedian pointed his index finger confidently at the camera while smiling in a smarmy way.

Kristen, meanwhile, looked pretty in her dress, a black number which featured a pink and mustard yellow pattern.

The flirty frock nipped in at her slim waist and featured fish-net style sleeves.

She wore her red bob sleek and added a youthful glow with a peachy blusher and coral lipstick.

The 22-hour miniseries, created and written by Funny or Die's Matt Piedmont and Andrew Steele, follows the exploits of Devon (Tobey Maguire), who is adopted by a farmer (Tim Robbins) and grows up alongside a sister (Kristen Wiig), who lusts after him. The family then strike it rick in oil, while Devon and his sister fall in love.

The six-episode series spoofs the sweeping miniseries from that decade, such as Thorn Birds and The Winds Of War.

The Spoils Of Babylon premieres on IFC on Thursday.

Kristen Wiig really suits her hair that colour. I've only seen her in a couple of things, but I like her.
