A photo of LeBron James wearing a pink outfit has gone viral on social media, with some fans saying that “The King” wore it for the premiere of the movie Barbie.
According to ButtCrack Sports on Twitter, the LA Lakers legend was at the Barbie movie premiere. James can be seen wearing a pink shirt and a pink skirt, with pink shoes and carrying a pink handbag.
