Greta Lee Begins Her <em>Toy Story 5 </em>Press Tour in a Red Fringe Dress From High Sport
She kicked things off with a starry dress from High Sport
Reported by Harper's Bazaar.
There is an art to dressing for a press tour — and then there is what Greta Lee is doing. The Past Lives star opened her Toy Story 5 press run at London's Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in a scarlet halter-neck dress from High Sport, the LA label best known for its cult-favorite Kick pants and the kind of elevated stretch knits that make athleisure look like a lesser genre. The dress, pulled from High Sport's Fall 2026 collection, featured a white star print and fringe along the hem — and yes, the stars almost certainly nod to the Luxo bouncy ball that has anchored Toy Story's visual identity since day one. White pumps echoed the print. Choppy baby bangs and a sleek straight style rounded out the look.
Method Dressing, Done Right
What makes this opening act interesting isn't just the dress — it's the strategy. According to Harper's Bazaar, stylist Danielle Goldberg (Lee's longtime collaborator and the architect behind her Oscar-season ascent) teased additional looks on Instagram Stories: a yellow velvet dress from Giovanna Flores and a colorblock zip-up from Auralee. Line them up and a pattern emerges. Red. Yellow. The primary color palette of the Toy Story logo. Lee and Goldberg are playing the method dressing game, but quietly — no Woody cowboy hat, no Buzz Lightyear cosplay, just a considered color theory running beneath the surface of every look.
The choice to lean on under-the-radar names is equally deliberate. High Sport has a devoted following, but it hasn't reached the level of red-carpet saturation that turns a great dress into background noise. Giovanna Flores and Auralee operate in a similar register — designers with strong identities and low visibility, which is exactly the kind of curation that separates a stylist from a great one. Lee isn't borrowing credibility from a megahouse; she's building something more specific.
A press tour is a long game, and the best ones read like a coherent argument rather than a highlight reel. If the first look is any indication, Lee and Goldberg are writing a very good one — thematic without being costume-y, playful without sacrificing edge.
When your fashion choices have a thesis statement, the clothes stop being an accessory to the story and start being part of it.
