The Princess of R&B is the latest inductee into Barbie World, and the doll is “One in a Million.”

Aaliyah, the musician known worldwide for her soulful, melodic R&B albums, is the newest addition to the Barbie Music Collector Series. 

The Aaliyah doll will feature her iconic look from the “One in a Million” music video, complete with faux-leather pants and her signature hairstyle that swoops over one eye. This doll captures Aaliyah as the Princess of R&B and the music icon she was, expressing her persona and talent. She is concert-ready as she rocks a zippered vest with detached sleeves and fashionable shades.

Thirty years after the release of her groundbreaking debut single “Back and Forth,” fans can continue to celebrate Aaliyah’s incredible legacy and add this powerful Barbie to their collection.

Aaliyah joins other icons in the Barbie Music Collector Series, including Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, and Gloria Estefan.

Mattel collaborated closely with Aaliyah’s brother, Rashad Haughton, to ensure her doll authentically reflects the artist and woman she was. The Aaliyah Barbie will be available at mattel.com starting today. For $55, fans can have this piece of R&B history.
