Written by Ella Melake on January 18, 2025
From Thursday, January 16, the highly anticipated addition to the Barbie Music Collector Series was released.
Aaliyah joins the legendary Barbie doll collectors series in time for what could have been her 46th birthday.
Such a remarkable way to pay tribute to “Princess of R&B” who sadly passed away on 2001 at the age of 22.

Known for redefining contemporary hip-hop and R&B with her unique sound and style, Aaliyah’s contributions to music and fashion left an indelible mark.

The inspiration behind the carefully curated outfit was inspired by her iconic “One in a million” music video, immortalized in a black faux leather ensemble featuring studded lace-up details, a zippered vest and and statement shades. Her signature hairstyle, with hair sweeping swoop over one eye, completes the look.
