The Barbie doll brand has paid tribute to the late Whitney Houston with a special doll, as reported by PA Media/dpa.

The new Whitney Houston doll captures the singer's iconic appearance from her music video 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)', showcasing her pink bodycon midi dress, vibrant earrings, white and blue heels, her signature '80s fringe, and long curly hair.
This doll celebrates Houston's enduring legacy, marking her passing of four decades since the release of her hit song and her birthday.
Nathan Baynard, vice president and head of Barbie at Mattel, expressed admiration for Houston's impact, saying her music has been a soundtrack for countless moments for fans worldwide. The Barbie doll is unveiled at the Fifth Annual Whitney Houston Legacy of Love gala. The gala aims to raise funds for Houston's foundation, which supports young people.
Houston, who was one of the top-selling artists in pop history, had chart-topping hits such as 'How Will I Know' and 'Saving All My Love For You'. She passed away in 2012 at the age of 48.
