Sam Smith was among the many celebrities to attend the “Barbie” photocall in London on Thursday. It was just announced today that the singer will perform a track called ‘Man I Am’ from the perspective of Ken in Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s highly anticipated movie.

The “Unholy” singer commanded attention in an oversized look straight out of the just-released Vetements collection for next spring 2024. The ensemble featured a large blue sweater with “16XL” and “Paris, France” embroidered on the front and a floor-grazing pair of oversized wide-leg pants in a light shade of denim with visible stitching on the sides.
