American actress Zendaya has been presented with her very own Barbie doll
This isn’t the first time Minaj has been accused of self-aggrandizing but this time Zendaya’s fan’s weren’t having it. Even some of Nicki’s “Barbz” found themselves giving her the side-eye.
The doll replicates Zendaya’s Vivienne Westwood look from the 2015 Oscars Red Carpet, which was controversially criticized by Giuliana Rancic on E!’s “Fashion Police”. The 19-year-old star also thanked Mattel and Barbie for allowing her to be part of the “diversification and expansion of the definition of beauty”.
Zendaya, who has featured in a number of TV and big screen roles, including Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” video has been presented with her very own Barbie doll. Only if i could get my own doll, who wants to make that comment?
Now, little girls all over the world can love and appreciate Zendaya’s style with a Barbie made in her image.
In an interview with Yahoo this month, Zendaya explained what the new Barbie doll means to her.
A Barbie doll of a former Disney starlet has made its red carpet debut. “Let her have her moment without advertising yours”.
Actress/singer Zendaya arrives at the Barbie Rock ‘n Royals concert experience benefiting VH1 Save The Music Foundation at the Hollywood Palladium on September 26, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. After Zendaya took to social media to call Rancic out for her ignorant remarks, the co-host was removed from the show, and it was soon after cancelled.
Barbie has been marketed as not just a toy, but a role model for young girls. Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
