‘My Heart Will Go On’: Celine Dion gets her own Barbie doll

London, October 15 — Barbie has paid tribute to Celine Dion by releasing a new signature doll resembling the renowned singer. The doll is based on Dion's iconic navy, long-sleeved dress she wore when she performed her hit song My Heart Will Go On at the 1998 Academy Awards. The blue necklace worn by the doll is inspired by the Heart of the Ocean necklace from the 1997 film Titanic.

The doll's hair is styled in an updo and it also includes silver earrings. Celine Dion expressed her delight at joining the Barbie legacy, stating: "It is a true honour to join the Barbie legacy with a doll inspired by one of the most meaningful moments of my career. I hope this doll inspires everyone to express themselves with confidence, follow their dreams, and believe in the power of their own voice."

Dion joins a list of celebrities who have had their likenesses turned into Barbie dolls, including Mariah Carey, Tina Turner, and Margot Robbie, who portrayed Barbie in the 2023 movie. Dion is a world-renowned pop music artist, known for selling nearly 260 million albums globally. Her hits include My Heart Will Go On and Because You Loved Me.

In 2022, Dion revealed she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome and had to retire from performing. However, she made her return to the stage last month with a series of shows at the Plenitude Arena in a Paris suburb. The Barbie Signature Celine Dion Doll, created by Mattel, is now available for purchase.
