Greta Lee brings playful High Sport style to Toy Story 5 premiere

Greta Lee turned the Toy Story 5 London launch into a sharp argument for playful restraint: a red knit halter dress from High Sport, scattered with white star motifs and finished with fringe, that nodded to Pixar without slipping into costume. Styled by Danielle Goldberg, the look had the easy precision of something designed to move, not merely pose.

That mattered on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, where premiere dressing could have easily tipped into spectacle. Instead, Lee chose a silhouette that felt lighter and cleaner than the usual theme-heavy red carpet formula. High Sport, the Italian-made stretch-knit label launched in 2021, has built its name on polished pieces engineered for movement, and Lee’s dress translated that language into something red-carpet ready without feeling overworked. The halter cut kept the shape disciplined; the stars and fringe added just enough wit to make the reference land.

The outfit also worked because Lee is part of the film’s universe, not just its publicity circuit. She voices Lilypad, the brand-new high-tech frog-shaped smart tablet in Toy Story 5, which Disney and Pixar are presenting as a “Toy meets Tech” story. Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and the rest of the gang are back, but the narrative has shifted toward the collision between old-fashioned toys and modern electronics. That tension made Lee’s look feel especially well judged: playful, streamlined and clearly in conversation with the film, but never literal.

Toy Story 5 is directed by Andrew Stanton, co-directed by Kenna Harris and produced by Lindsey Collins, and it is set to open exclusively in theaters on June 19, 2026. The original Toy Story arrived in November 1995, which gives this new chapter more than 30 years of cultural gravity to work with. Against that backdrop, Lee’s High Sport moment felt less like a novelty and more like a sign of where premiere style is heading: toward polish with a pulse, and toward looks that can wink at a franchise while still looking fully of the moment.
