The stars of new action comedy “Spy” showed off their smoothest moves on Monday at the film’s New York City premiere.

Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham and Jude Law led the cast at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square, as they were joined on the red carpet by director Paul Feig.

Also featuring “Neighbors” star Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (as himself), “Homeland” actress Morena Baccarin and Nargis Fakhri Lia, “Spy” follows a CIA analyst who goes undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer and prevent diabolical global disaster.

McCarthy, who plays a master of disguise in the crime caper, revealed her own recent weight loss in a spotted wrap dress. Meanwhile, Australian actress Byrne wore a dramatic black sparkly dress with extreme cutouts.

The men were equally dapper, with Feig leading the group in a checkered jacket, striped shirt and polka dot tie. Actress Susan Sarandon and Kate McKinnon were also in attendance at the star-filled premiere.

Feig will next reunite with McCarthy for the female-driven reboot of “Ghostbusters” alongside Kristen Wiig and McKinnon.

“Spy” has already proven to be an undercover hit overseas. Rolling out in 10 foreign markets ahead of its June 5 debut in North America, it took in $12.5 million over the Memorial Day weekend for Fox.

The film got a big boost from South Korea, where it opened at No. 1 and brought in $4.6 million, the biggest opening ever for an action comedy in that market. It also grossed $3.6 million from Australia, just 6 percent off the debut of another Feig-McCarthy film, “Bridesmaids.”

“Spy” hits theaters on Friday, June 5.
