Aaliyah Joins Barbie’s Music Series with a Stunning Doll
Written by Site Hub on January 16, 2025
To honor what would have been Aaliyah’s 46th birthday, Mattel released a highly anticipated limited-edition Barbie doll as part of its Music Series. The doll, designed by Carlyle Nuera, embodies Aaliyah’s iconic style with a sleek black outfit, low-slung pants, and signature sunglasses, celebrating her impact as a music and fashion trailblazer.
Priced at $64.99, the collectible includes a certificate of authenticity and a one-year membership to Barbie Club 59, offering exclusive perks for collectors. Fans eagerly snapped up the doll, which sold out on Mattel’s website within 30 minutes of its release. However, limited availability may remain at select Target locations or online.
This tribute places Aaliyah among other legends in Mattel’s Music Series, such as Mariah Carey, Gloria Estefan, and Stevie Nicks. For years, Aaliyah’s devoted fans were unable to access much of her music due to licensing disputes, but her catalog returned to streaming platforms in 2021, reigniting appreciation for her artistry. The Aaliyah Barbie serves as another way to celebrate her enduring legacy in music, fashion, and culture.
