Mariah Carey gets the Barbie treatment
Singer Mariah Carey is getting her own Barbie doll.
The Mariah Carey Barbie doll comes in a festive look, with a glittery red gown with a ruched overlay and a dramatic hem slit, accompanied by curls, sparkly accessories and red heels.
“It’s a once in a lifetime dream to have my own Barbie,” said Carey.
“If I could go back and tell my little girl self that one day, I would have a Barbie made in my likeness, I think she would flip out! I hope all collectors and fans everywhere enjoy the holiday season and hopefully the Mariah Barbie will be a wonderful addition to it!”
