“Something beautiful. Someone Iconic.”
That’s what is described as pop star Miley Cyrus’ new Barbie doll that recently debuted. And she loves it!
“Seeing my Barbie for the first time is a dream come true,” Cyrus said in an interview with Reuters. “We spent so much time really digging into the details. That’s something that wasn’t just important for me in designing the Barbie, but that’s something very important to my own creativity in the way that I represent myself.”
Mattel, the long-time manufacturer of Barbie, created Cyrus’ doll inspired by her “Golden Burning Sun” music video. She’s decked out head-to-toe in a leather biker-inspired outfit with “a dramatic belted jacket” and oversized hood.
She wanted every detail to be displayed.

Additionally, the doll shows off Cyrus’ long hair, sunglasses and the perfect black, closed-toe pumps complete with straps around the ankle.
The “Hannah Montana” actress discussed the legacy she wants to leave behind in music and how she hopes that’s portrayed in her doll.
“A legacy that I hope to leave behind is my music,” Cyrus added. “When I write songs, I remember that they will live on past my lifetime, and it’s very important for me to use my voice to tell stories that I think matter, and make people feel more seen and more heard, and less alone. Which is why it was very important that my Barbie have a microphone, because my music is really my passion and my purpose.”
