Did LeBron James really wear a pink outfit for the Barbie premiere?

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.

LeBron James has not attended the two red-carpet premieres for Barbie. The first was at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on July 9, while the second was on July 12 at the Cineworld Leicester Square in London.

Here’s the initial post by ButtCrack Sports regarding James’ attendance at the Barbie premiere.

The image was originally from Reddit and was also AI-generated. The Redditor who uploaded the picture claimed that LeBron James wore the pink outfit for his daughter Zhuri’s birthday.

Meanwhile, the second image from the most recent tweet was from the Twitter account @jeazous. He’s Derick David and has worked for several publications like Forbes, Medium and Uxopian.
