Overview
- Mattel announced the official Céline Dion Barbie on Thursday, October 15, 2026, publishing product images and details from the company.
- The figure wears a long dark-blue gown and a heart-shaped blue pendant that Mattel says was inspired by the blue, heart-shaped diamond motif from the film Titanic.
- Céline Dion shared photos of the doll on Instagram and was quoted by Mattel saying she hopes the toy will encourage people to express themselves and believe in their voice.
- Some media commentary criticized the doll’s facial styling and hair color as not closely resembling Dion, with one column noting features that recalled other public figures.
