In June 2019, Lily James posed with Himesh Patel and Ed Sheeran at the premiere of their new Beatles-inspired movie, Yesterday, at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, England. Measuring 5ft 7 (170.2 cm), she looked taller than Ed Sheeran, who measures 5ft 7 ½ (171.5 cm), thanks to the footwear illusion of her elongating Burberry pumps.
