Anna Kendrick, 35, the newly svelte Rebel Wilson, 40, and Hailee Steinfeld, 23 — who last performed as a musical group in 2017’s “Pitch Perfect 3” — reunited as the Barden Bellas, belting out a new cover of Beyoncé’s 2011 hit “Love on Top” to raise donations for UNICEF.

The international charity has launched aide efforts to support children in Beirut following a massive chemical blast earlier this month. The organization is also raising funds to fight the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

Actress-director Elizabeth Banks (“Charlie’s Angels”), who co-starred as sassy vocal group commentator Gail Abernathy-McKadden in the franchise, shared the clip to her 2.3 million Instagram followers.

“Buckle up kids, the Bella’s are back . . . for a good cause!” Banks, 46, captioned her post before explaining how to donate money to UNICEF’s #ForEveryChild campaign.
