Barbie welcomes global superstar Miley Cyrus to its Barbie Signature Series with the launch of a new collector doll inspired by the pop icon.
The doll celebrates the cultural footprint she has made as a musician, actress, and advocate for self-expression, paying homage to her record-breaking achievements across pop culture and entertainment.
The Barbie Signature Miley Cyrus Collectible Doll draws inspiration from her look in the “Golden Burning Sun” music video, with a faux-leather two-piece pant set, hooded jacket, pointed-toe black pumps and a microphone in hand.
With billions of streams and over 30 million albums sold worldwide, Miley’s diverse range of musical talent has attracted widespread admiration – from her early acting days to groundbreaking records like “Party in the U.S.A.” “Wrecking Ball”, to modern day staples like “Flowers”.
Known not only for music and acting, but also for her advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health; this May she was recognised for her profound cultural impact across the entertainment industry with the receipt of her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Miley is celebrating an era that proves her one-of-a-kind, genre-defying sound continues to know no bounds with the release of her latest album, “Something Beautiful”.
“Seeing my Barbie for the first time is a dream come true. We spent so much time really digging into the details. That’s something that wasn’t just important to me in designing the Barbie, but it’s also very important to my own creativity and the way that I represent myself. We did not miss any marks when it came down to the design of my doll from the look, the hair, the accessories, the makeup, and the structure. Every detail was purposeful, and we spent a lot of time perfecting her—not to be perfect, because that wouldn’t be representative of me, but to really get down to the details of this golden Burning Sun look.” Miley Cyrus, Grammy-award winning Singer, Songwriter and Actress.
Miley Cyrus joins the ranks of other musicians–including Kylie Minogue, Aaliyah, Stevie Nicks, Gloria Estefan, David Bowie, Elvis Presley and Elton John – as the latest musician honouree in the Barbie Signature Series.
“Barbie is dedicated to celebrating trailblazing women who break boundaries and inspire the next generation, and Miley Cyruslives up to that mission. Miley has consistently redefined what it means to be an artist and performer, using her platform to champion individuality and empower others to do the same. We are incredibly excited to honour her fearless approach to self-expression and celebrate her authentic spirit with a Barbie for fans around the world.” – Nathan Baynard, Vice President and Headof Barbie, Mattel
The Barbie Signature Miley Cyrus Collectible Doll is available from June 30th on Amazon, Mattel Creations, and from select retailers.
