Four-time grand slam singles winner and reigning US Open and Australian Open champion, Naomi Osaka has her own Barbie doll collection.
Naomi, who has used her platform to speak out against police brutality and racial injustice, has joined Mattel’s effort to diversify its popular toy brand with dolls based on diverse role models and occupations.
She was named a Barbie Shero in 2019 to celebrate the brand’s 60th anniversary.
“Teamed up with Barbie back in 2019 but this time it’s officially official because today I’m introducing the Barbie Role Model Naomi Osaka doll. I really hope every child is reminded that they can be and do anything. This is really seeing a dream of mine come to life, having your own Barbie and potentially seeing little kids playing with it. Omg,” she captioned the post on her Instagram page.
To capture Naomi’s likeness, the doll is dressed in a blue-and-pink Nike tank top and shorts with a white flared skirt, just like she did at the 2020 Australian Open. Her Yonex tennis racquet, light-blue Nike sneakers, and a white visor that sits atop her highlighted curls round out the doll’s accessories.
