Sam Smith makes bold fashion statement for the all-inclusive Barbie premiere in London 

Sam Smith used fashion to make a statement as they hit the Barbie premiere in London on Wednesday. 

The singer, 31, who is non-binary and uses gender neutral pronouns, arrived in a 16 XL jumper and flared jeans. 

The oversized outfit was in reference to the all-inclusive film as the Mattel doll has been heavily criticised since its launch in the 1970s over its unrealistic body proportions.

Sam represents the Kens in the film with the song Man I Am, which will release on July 21 – the same day the movie hits UK cinemas. 

The Glory hitmaker announced on Instagram about their involvement in the film.

They wrote: ‘I cannot begin to express how incredibly excited I am to be a part of the soundtrack to this already iconic film.

‘I was invited by the incredible [Mark Ronson] and Greta Gerwig to write a song from the perspective of Ken for one of the scenes and we honestly had so much fun with this. I cannot wait for you to hear what we’ve created together. 

‘Barbie Land here we come!!!!’ 

The Barbie movie not only stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and Dua Lipa  but also America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Hari Nef, and Simu Liu. 

Various versions of both the Barbie and Ken dolls will be portrayed, with actress Helen Mirren narrating the film.

The premise of the movie, which has a budget of $100 million, follows Barbie and Ken as they travel to the real world in order to find the true meaning of happiness.

Filming began last year in 2022 at Warner Bros. Studios in England, while some exterior shots were notably filmed outdoors in Los Angeles, such as Venice. 

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Greta revealed that Margot had felt ‘self-conscious’ while filming the Venice Beach scene.

‘But when we were actually shooting on Venice Beach, with Margot and Ryan in neon rollerblading outfits, it was fascinating because it was actually happening in front of us,’ she explained. 

‘People would go by Ryan, high-five him, and say, “Awesome, Ryan, you look great!” And they wouldn’t actually say anything to Margot. They’d just look at her. It was just surreal. In that moment, she did feel self-conscious.’

Gerwig added, ‘And as the director, I wanted to protect her. But I also knew that the scene we were shooting had to be the scene where she felt exposed. And she was exposed, both as a celebrity and as a lady.’ 

‘To be fair, Ryan was like, “I wish I wasn’t wearing this vest.” But it was a different kind of discomfort.’
