Mattel has released a new Barbie doll dedicated to the iconic American pop singer, Whitney Houston (1963–2012). This doll is part of the “Barbie Signature Series,” a collection that has previously paid tribute to notable figures such as David Bowie and Diana Ross. The creation aims to honor the celebrated star’s legacy.
The doll is modeled after an image from the video for the song “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me).” It depicts the singer wearing a form-fitting pink midi dress, colorful earrings, and white and blue high heels. Furthermore, the doll features long, curly hair styled to resemble the singer’s popular look from the 1990s. The introduction of this doll occurred nearly four decades after the original song’s release and coincided with the anniversary of the singer’s birth.
This release solidifies the doll’s role as a commemorative piece honoring a major music star. The collectible doll allows fans to revisit a significant moment in Houston’s career through a detailed representation.
