Smith, 55, and Lawrence, 59, walked the blue carpet ahead of the screening.
As they did so, they were greeted by an excited Schmidt.
The popular German athlete, 25, wore a glamorous black dress as she headed to the event.
When presented with the opportunity, Schmidt went bounding over to Smith and Lawrence to shake their hands.
She then asked them to sign her jersey, with the star duo gladly obliging.
After the signing, the trio beamed as they posed for pictures.
Posting a clip of the exchange, Schmidt wrote: “Not @willsmith and @martinlawrence signing my jersey. Can someone pinch me.”
Bad Boys: Ride or Die is the fourth flick in the popular franchise series.
Its world premiere took place in Dubai last Wednesday, and was attended by Smith’s estranged wife Jada.
Schmidt, meanwhile, has qualified for this summer’s Paris Olympics.
She will compete in the 4x400m relay for her country.
Earlier this month Schmidt, who has five million Instagram followers, revealed that she turned down a huge sponsorship deal worth six figures despite making only £611 a month as a professional athlete.
She said: “Two months ago I received an offer from a well-known brand. But I wasn’t 100 per cent behind it.
“I didn’t feel comfortable with that. That would have been in the mid-to-high six figures for a campaign.
“In principle, I have to say that it is not easy for most German track and field athletes to make a living from sport.
“Of course there is money to be made from competitions. In most competitions you don’t make any money.
“Personally, I couldn’t live on these amounts alone, because for many competitions you still have travel and hotel costs, which aren’t always covered.
“Most of us study part-time in order to build up a second source of income, or even have mini jobs that we do on the side.”
Schmidt has previously modelled for Hugo Boss.
In the role she rubbed shoulders with Anthony Joshua and Naomi Campbell at Milan Fashion Week in 2022.
