A host of female stars, including Kylie Minogue and Shania Twain, have been honoured with Barbie dolls in their likeness. 

The Aussie pop superstar and Canadian country icon are among the eight “global storytellers” chosen by Mattel to have the dolls modelled after their likeness.

“Barbie’s story has never been just about her. It’s about the countless young kids she’s inspired and the millions of stories she helped them imagine along the way,” said Krista Berger, Senior Vice President of Barbie and Global Head of Dolls, in a statement.

“For the past 65 years, Barbie has used her global platform to empower girls to dream big, explore their limitless potential, and direct their own narrative to shape their future. As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we recognise over six decades of stories Barbie has helped write and the doll that continues to give everyone the opportunity to dream – and dream big.”

Other women honoured include British actress Helen Mirren, American actress and producer Viola Davis, content creator Maira Gomez from the indigenous community of the Tatuyo ethnic group in Amazonas, Mexican director, producer and screenwriter Lila Avilés, Japanese model Nicole Fujita, and German comedian Enissa Amani.
