Céline Dion gets her own Barbie doll, and the iconic Oscars look is everything

Canadian music sensation Céline Dion has become the subject of a Barbie doll, commemorating her unforgettable appearance at the 1998 Academy Awards. The collectible, part of the Barbie Signature collection, pays tribute to Dion's emotional performance of her hit song My Heart Will Go On from the blockbuster film Titanic. While the song is central to the doll's inspiration, it is the singer's iconic Oscars look that truly captures the fashion moment immortalized.

Mattel's recreation of Dion's striking navy blue gown, paired with a necklace inspired by the Heart of the Ocean, brings the singer's memorable red carpet style to life in miniature form. The doll's release follows Dion's recent return to major live performances, as she embarked on a five-week residency in Paris following her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome in December 2022.

The Barbie Signature doll is available for $60, positioning it as a collectible for fans of both the singer and the iconic Barbie brand.
