The 1960s-inspired movies featured a huge star-studded cast of celebrities, singers and acting legends including the likes of Elizabeth Hurley, Beyoncé and the comedy icon himself, Mike Myers.

With rumours of a fourth movie on the way, Daily Star has taken a deep dive inside the lives of the leading ladies to see where they are now.

Let’s take a look…

Elizabeth Hurley

Since playing Austin’s love interest Vanessa Kensington, Liz has appeared in a string of movies including Rowing with the Wind and Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

Her love life has grabbed more headlines than her acting career, including relationships with Hugh Grant, late billionaire Steve Bing, and the late cricketer Shane Warne.

But then in 2015, the brunette beauty found fame again when she took on the role of the fictional Queen Helena in The Royals.

She has since launched her own beachwear line and her Instagram bikini pics are as popular as ever, with the 57-year-old never one to shy away from showing off her stunning model bod.

Mimi Rogers

After playing Mrs Kensington, Mimi Rogers has joined the film adaptation of Lost in Space, starred as Michelle William’s mum in Dawson’s Creek and was even in Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd.

Some of her other small screen stints included The X-Files, Two and a Half Men and Mad Men.

One hobby the former Ms Tom Cruise likes to get up to in her spare time which may surprise fans is her work as a licensed poker player.

The star has played the beloved game since she was a teenager, and now the actress is on the board of directors of the World Poker Tour.

Beyoncé

In her first mainstream acting gig, Beyoncé played Foxxy Cleopatra in the third film, Austin Powers in Goldmember.

While filming the Hollywood movie, the singer was still a member of the American girl group Destiny’s Child, until the band split up in 2006.

In the years since, she has become a worldwide RnB icon known for her impressive solo music career, as well as a 22-time Grammy award-winning singer.

In 2017, it was announced by Billboard that Beyoncé had stolen the title of the highest paid musician of the year – earning an estimated total of £49.5million.

Heather Graham

Heather Graham played the role of Felicity Shagwell, the female companion of Austin Powers during the second film, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Following her leading lady role in the comedy film, the blonde bombshell played a range of leading roles including the romantic comedy Say It Isn’t So in 2001 and the blockbuster movie From Hell later that year where she shared the screen with Johnny Depp.
