Céline Dion is joining the ranks of some of the world’s most recognizable names in miniature form, with a new Barbie inspired by one of her most memorable performances.
Mattel has created a collectible doll modelled after the Quebec-born superstar’s look at the 1998 Oscars, where Dion performed “My Heart Will Go On” in a navy blue gown and a blue diamond necklace from the movie Titanic.
The doll recreates the signature look, offering fans a miniature tribute to one of the singer’s most memorable moments on stage.
“It’s about time,” one fan said at Montreal’s Barbie Expo. “We have Cher right here, we have Beyoncé, we have a bunch of people, but we don’t have the greatest singer in the world?”
Dion joins a growing lineup of celebrity singers and fashion-inspired dolls, many of which are on display at the downtown Montreal exhibit.

For fans in Quebec, however, Dion’s addition to the collection hits particularly close to home.
“It looks a lot like her. It’s really, really accurate,” one teenage girl told Global News. “It’s really beautiful. I think it’s a great thing because Céline Dion deserves it.”
The doll comes as the 58-year-old singer makes her long-awaited return to the stage. Last month, Dion launched a sold-out residency in Paris, marking her first full-length concert in six years after revealing she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare disorder that affects her mobility.
Fans say the collectible offers another way to celebrate the woman behind the music.
“It’s her work ethic that I really admire,” one fan told Global News. “She really works hard at what she does, and she deserves it.”
Organizers at the Barbie Expo say they do not yet know if or when the Dion doll will become part of their collection.
Fans can buy the doll online for $92.
