In celebration of the late songstress 46th heavenly birthday on Thursday January 16th, Mattel Creation’s released a special collector’s item Barbie to honor Aaliyah’s life and legacy.
According to CNN, the signature doll was retailed for $55 a part of Barbie’s new Music Series designed for adult collectors.

“Today on Aaliyah’s birthday, Barbie honors the Princess of R&B’s unmatched legacy as a once-in-a-generation talent,” the official Barbie account posted to Instagram Jan. 16.

According to E News, Aaliyah’s brother Rashad Haughton worked closely with Barbie to produce the collector’s doll.
“It’s still tight fitting, it’s still a little bit sexy. But it’s pants so it brings that power and that confidence and expression,” said Rashad to Today.com in an interview published Jan. 16. “It really just checked all the boxes of what my sister represents and also what Barbie represents, which is empowerment and expression.”
