Sabrina Carpenter sure knows how to feed the appetites of fans hungry for a good guest appearance.

The “Manchild” singer welcomed Duran Duran to the stage to sing their hit “Hungry Like the Wolf” while playing her second of two London shows on Sunday, July 6.

Carpenter, 26, brought out lead singer Simon Le Bon and bassist John Taylor to perform their 1982 hit at BST Hyde Park; Le Bon, 66, handled the song’s first verse, while Carpenter harmonized with him on the chorus and took the reins on the second verse. The star also had her fans howl together at the song's end.

“It might be fun if I brought out some friends of mine from the U.K.,” she said to the crowd before the performance, according to video shot by fans and posted on social media. “I’m gonna need you guys to put that howling to good use. Could everybody please give it up and make so much noise for the legendary Duran Duran?”

At that point, Le Bon and Taylor, 65, came out on stage, and Le Bon greeted the crowd with a, “Good evening, London!”

The rockers later celebrated the appearance on their Instagram Stories with a post that featured four photos from the performance.

“Tonight, Simon & John were special guests of @sabrinacarpenter at @bsthydepark, where they performed ‘Hungry like the Wolf.’ It was amazing ⚡,” the band captioned the photos.

“Hungry Like the Wolf” was featured on the band’s second album Rio. It reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the group’s most-streamed song.

Duran Duran released their 16th album, a Halloween-themed record called Danse Macabre, in 2023. The year prior, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Carpenter, meanwhile, is set to release her seventh studio album Man’s Best Friend on Aug. 29. The album’s first single, “Manchild,” hit No. 1 upon its release last month.

She’s set to headline Lollapalooza in Chicago in August before hitting the road again in October and November for a series of tour dates.

“Because of you- Manchild is my first debut #1 in the US and the UK i love you so much it don’t make no sense! thank you endlessly!” Carpenter wrote in a message to fans on June 18.
