Celine Dion’s comeback year now includes a Barbie doll.
Mattel has unveiled a new collectible doll in honor of the Canadian superstar, recreating her look from the 1998 Academy Awards, where she performed “My Heart Will Go On” from James Cameron’s “Titanic.” The $60 doll is available exclusively through Mattel Creations.

Barbie signature releases include Dion’s light blue, long-sleeve gown designed by Michael Kors, the imaginary blue diamond in the center of “Titanic”, and a necklace inspired by the Heart of the Ocean.
“It is a true honor to join the Barbie legacy with a doll inspired by one of the most meaningful moments of my career,” Dion said in a statement. “I hope this doll will inspire everyone to express themselves with confidence, follow their dreams, and believe in the power of their voice.”
The 58-year-old singer returned to the concert stage last month after a six-year absence. Dion began a sold-out residency at the Plenitude Arena in Paris on September 12, her first full-length concert since 2020 and her most significant return to performance since disclosing her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome in 2022.
The rare neurological disorder, which causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms, forced Dion to cancel the remaining dates of her “Courage” world tour and raised questions about whether she would ever be able to perform live again. Her health struggles were documented in the 2024 Prime Video film “I Am: Celine Dion.”
That same year, she made a surprise return to the stage at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics and performed Edith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’Amour” from the Eiffel Tower.
Her current Paris engagement, which runs until October, has been an emotional homecoming for the singer, who opened her first concert with “On ne change pas” before performing a career-spanning set of French and English-language hits. Additional Paris performances are planned for spring 2027.
Dion, who has sold more than 250 million albums worldwide, joins the growing list of musicians immortalized in Mattel’s Barbie Signature Collection, which includes Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks, Kylie Minogue, Gloria Estefan, Aaliyah and Elton John.
