Very few honours compare to being immortalised in Barbie form. Just eight years after her 1959 debut, Barbie released the first of many celebrity Barbies based on the 60s icon, Twiggy. Five decades later, Barbie rolled out their ‘Role Models‘ campaign where inspiring women were honoured with a Barbie iteration of themselves. Over the years, Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly have been made into Barbies. Most recently, Queen Camilla and Kylie Minogue received the prestigious honour herself.
Read on to see all the best celebrity Barbies.

Mary Fowler
For the brand’s 65th anniversary celebrations, they have released a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll in the likeness of Matilda’s star Mary Fowler. Barbie have honoured her and eight other athletes from around the world, including tennis champion Venus Williams, who have broken boundaries and set records in their respective sport.
Mary worked closely with Barbie to ensure it really represented her and her likeness, from the hair and boots, to her signature gloves.
“When I saw myself as Barbie for the first time, it was crazy; I was honestly just a bit speechless,” Mary said.
“I never would have thought that I’d have a Barbie that looks just like me. There are so many other incredible women that have been Barbie dolls, and I just never would have thought that I would be up there with them. I’m just super grateful and honoured to be part of this.”
