Celine Dion‘s comeback year now includes a Barbie doll.
Mattel has unveiled a new collectible doll honoring the Canadian superstar, recreating her look from the 1998 Academy Awards, where she performed “My Heart Will Go On” from James Cameron’s “Titanic.” The $60 doll is available exclusively through Mattel Creations.
LIMITED-EDITION
Celine Dion Barbie Doll
The Barbie Signature release features Dion’s pale blue, long-sleeved gown, designed by Michael Kors, along with a necklace inspired by the Heart of the Ocean, the fictional blue diamond at the center of “Titanic.”
“It is a true honor to join the Barbie legacy with a doll inspired by one of the most meaningful moments of my career,” Dion said in a statement. “I hope this doll inspires everyone to express themselves with confidence, follow their dreams and believe in the power of their own voice.”
The 58-year-old singer returned to the concert stage last month after a six-year absence. Dion kicked off a sold-out residency at Paris’ Plenitude Arena on Sept. 12, marking her first full-length concert since 2020 and her most substantial return to performing since revealing her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome in 2022.
The rare neurological disorder, which causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms, forced Dion to cancel her remaining “Courage” world tour dates and raised questions about whether she would ever be able to perform live again. Her health struggles were documented in the 2024 Prime Video film “I Am: Celine Dion.”
That same year, she made a surprise return to the stage at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, delivering a rendition of Édith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’Amour” from the Eiffel Tower.
Her current Paris engagement, which runs through October, has been an emotional homecoming for the singer, who opened her first concert with “On ne change pas” before performing a career-spanning set of French- and English-language hits. Additional Paris performances are planned for spring 2027.
Dion, who has sold more than 250 million albums worldwide, joins a growing roster of musicians immortalized in Mattel’s Barbie Signature collection, including Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks, Kylie Minogue, Gloria Estefan, Aaliyah and Elton John.
