Barbie is making a Zendaya doll

Zendaya is getting a one-of-a-kind Barbie made that mirrors her 2015 Oscars look.

Yes, that’s right. They are using the look that started a huge internet debate after Giulana Rancic stirred up controversy by saying, “I feel like she smells like patchouli oil and weed.”

“I’m excited to be a part of the new direction the Barbie brand is headed, specifically how they are celebrating diversity in the line and encouraging kids to raise their voices,” Zendaya said in a release. “It’s a positive message to send to my fans, including my nieces who are coming with me to the concert.”

It’s that message of diversity that Zendaya was trying to champion in the first place when she wore her hair that way to the Oscars.

“There is already harsh criticism of African American hair in society without the help of ignorant people who choose to judge others based on the curl of their hair,” Zendaya wrote on Instagram at the time. “My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough.”

It is unclear whether fans will be able to purchase the new Barbie doll.

The Barbie doll is meant to honor Zendaya for teaching girls to be proud of their heritage and to “raise their voices.”
