To celebrate Aaliyah‘s birthday, Barbie pays homage to the legendary R&B singer, actress, and model with our latest Music Series doll.
Aaliyah‘s smooth vocals and innovative sound helped shape ’90s R&B, and her influence on music and fashion continues to be felt today.
Aaliyah’s brother, Rashad Haughton played a huge part in the doll creation. “The doll on Aaliyah’s birthday felt like the perfect tribute.”
Speaking to Forbes, Rashad Haughton stated; “Throughout the process, obviously, it takes a long time to get everything right and to do samples and to get the sculpts. And it’s amazing, but definitely a painstaking process. As the time went on, we started to realize that, you know what, this is going to fall, and the timing is going to be perfect. Let’s choose my sister’s birthday.”
He added; “It’s a celebration of her life, a celebration of her legacy…for it to happen on my sister’s birthday when she came into this world is just perfect.”
Available now from Mattel.
