Mattel has unveiled a Barbie Signature doll of Celine Dion, 58, recreating the navy blue long-sleeved gown and 'Heart of the Ocean' necklace she wore performing 'My Heart Will Go On' at the 1998 Academy Awards. The £69.99 collectible, available now exclusively through Mattel Creations, arrives amid Dion's Paris comeback residency after years battling stiff person syndrome.
Dion said: '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 joins a roster of Barbie musical legends including Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Elton John and Elvis Presley.
Some fans were unimpressed with the likeness, with one writing: 'That is not Céline' and another asking: 'Who is that?'
