Londoner’s Diary
Skirts were very much off sick at Picturehouse Central for the premiere of The Moment, a mockumentary about Charli xcx and her seminal album, Brat. Both Charli and fellow singer Robyn eschewed trousers in an ode to Brat summer, while Alexander Skarsgård also rose to the occasion in a pec-baring satin shirt. The film is a satirical retelling of Brat mania and the perils of becoming too zeitgeisty. Charli told the Standard that she played an exaggerated version of herself, as well as “playing into this completely fictionalised version of myself that maybe other people think I am.” Read: a nightmarish diva. How did she find life imitating art, imitating life? “Honestly, at points, a bit of a headf***.” She was accompanied by her artistic guru Aidan Zamiri, who also directed the film and led the entourage down the road for an after-party at pop-up nightclub Lost.
