Barbie unveils £69.99 Celine Dion doll inspired by iconic Titanic performance
The pop superstar has been immortalised in plastic wearing the navy gown she wore to perform the Titanic ballad at the 1998 Oscars, complete with a heart-shaped blue necklace.
Celine Dion fans can now get their hands on a little piece of pop history, as Barbie has unveiled a stunning new doll inspired by the superstar's unforgettable Titanic moment.
The £69.99 Barbie Signature Celine Dion Doll recreates the glamorous look the singer wore when she performed her smash hit My Heart Will Go On at the Academy Awards in 1998. And the attention to detail is enough to make collectors' hearts go on.
The miniature music legend sports a navy, long-sleeved gown inspired by Dion's original Oscars outfit, complete with a blue necklace modelled on the famous “Heart of the Ocean” jewel from the 1997 blockbuster Titanic. The doll also features an elegant updo and silver earrings, capturing the singer's sophisticated red-carpet style.
Dion said she was thrilled to join the ranks of stars immortalised in the iconic toy collection. “It is a true honour to join the Barbie legacy with a doll inspired by one of the most meaningful moments of my career,” she said. She added that she hoped the doll would encourage people to express themselves confidently, follow their dreams and believe in the power of their own voices.
The Canadian superstar joins a growing list of famous faces to receive the Barbie treatment, including Mariah Carey and Tina Turner. Margot Robbie, who played the iconic doll in the 2023 blockbuster Barbie, has also had a version of herself recreated.
With almost 260 million albums sold worldwide, Dion remains one of the most successful and decorated artists in pop music history. Her catalogue includes timeless hits such as My Heart Will Go On and Because You Loved Me. Her career was interrupted in 2022 when she revealed she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological condition that forced her to step away from performing.
But the singer made a triumphant return to the stage last month, launching a run of 16 shows scheduled for September and October at the Plenitude Arena in a suburb of Paris. Now, fans can celebrate the music icon with a collectible inspired by one of her most memorable career moments.
The Barbie Signature Celine Dion Doll is available now for £69.99.
