Barbie Releases a Signature Doll in Honor of Aaliyah on Her 46th Birthday
Fans of Aaliyah and Barbie have something special to look forward to! The official Aaliyah Barbie Signature Doll is set to debut in 2025, commemorating what would have been the late singer’s 46th birthday. Scheduled for release on January 16, 2025, the doll honors Aaliyah’s enduring legacy and impact on music, style, and culture.
This Barbie is inspired by one of Aaliyah’s most iconic looks from her “One In A Million” era, capturing her signature blend of streetwear and glamorous sophistication. Known for her effortless cool, Aaliyah’s fashion redefined trends in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the doll’s outfit—featuring a sleek crop top, oversized pants, and a mix of feminine and edgy elements—pays homage to her distinctive style.
Mattel’s Barbie Signature line has previously celebrated cultural icons, and Aaliyah’s addition feels especially fitting. As a pioneering R&B artist, actress, and trendsetter, Aaliyah continues to influence new generations with her soulful voice, innovative artistry, and charismatic presence. This collaboration serves to introduce her story to a younger audience while reminding fans of her timeless impact.
The Aaliyah Barbie is more than just a collectible—it’s a tribute to a music legend whose influence is still felt deeply today. As such, the doll is expected to be highly sought after, resonating with fans who grew up admiring Aaliyah and those who are discovering her for the first time. It’s sure to be a release that sells out quickly, capturing the hearts of many.
Mark your calendars for January 16, 2025, and get ready to celebrate Aaliyah’s birthday in a way that honors her enduring spirit. Whether you’re a dedicated Barbie collector or simply a fan of Aaliyah’s timeless brilliance, this release is truly “One in a Million.”
