Katy Perrys style shown in Barbie doll
Katy Perrys special-edition Barbie doll sums up her unique personal style.
The American songstress has had an impressive one-of-a-kind toy made by Mattel.
The doll sports a replica of the stunning cupcake-covered dress from Katys hugely successful California Dreams world tour wardrobe. The candy-coloured dress is teamed with pink and purple heeled sandals with Swarovski crystal-encrusted fishnet tights.
The doll is completed with an electric blue wig identical to the one Katy wore with her famous dress during the series of shows.
The intricately designed doll is testament to Katys unique style.
We hand-painted all the details and applied the crystals here in our design studio, Peter Helenek, VP of design for Barbie at Mattel Inc., told WWD. They create a look that sums up Katy and her personal style.
Nicki Minaj also has a new Barbie. The rappers replica doll features a long baby pink wig, complete with an impressively large rosy tulle dress and matching pink ankle boots.
Nickis doll comes completed with diamante cuffs and a Barbie necklace. Helenek says the attention to detail was paramount when creating the one-off collectors items.
There are fans out there who look specifically [at the] shoes when buying [Barbies], he revealed.
The dolls are on sale at Charitybuzz.com today. All proceeds will benefit Project Angel Food, which is a Los Angeles-based charity that delivers free meals to those with life-threatening illnesses.
