I can tell by looking at what these girls are wearing that they play the part of the orphans in the musical Annie. In the last scene of the musical, all of the orphans come to a Christmas party at the mansion, and Annie comes down the stairs in the famous red Annie dress. All of her orphan friends are wearing the exact same dress, only in different colors.
The girls frequently wear these costumes when they meet famous people after a performance: Sam Davis Junior, Barbara Streisand, Henry Winkler, and apparently Linda and Paul McCartney. I wonder if, after seeing the show and meeting the orphans, Mary McCartney was like most "little girls" (see what I did there?) during the time and desperately wanted to play the part of an orphan, too. (Annie is one of my all-time favorite shows. I have seen it so many times, and I have been in community theater performances of it twice.)
"Sam" Davis, Jr.?
