Juan Gabriel Barbie Doll

“The gold trim on Barbie doll’s suit is inspired by this stylistic heritage,” said Mattel in a statement. “From a bolo tie choker to a microphone to help her sing along to the songs of ‘El Divo de Juárez’ Barbie doll’s beautiful look celebrates the nearly 4-decade-long career of a true musical legend.”

The new Barbie ’s outfit is inspired by one that Gabriel wore during his 1990 concert in El Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. Gabriel used both music and fashion to celebrate Mexican culture and was typically seen rocking flamboyant mariachi suits like this one.

Gabriel had many chart-topping songs, including “Hasta Que Te Conoci” (“Until I Met You”), “Amor Eterno” (“Eternal Love”), and his smash-hit “Querida” (“Dear”), which dominated Mexico’s charts for an entire year.

Previous releases from the Barbie Signature Music series have included Gloria Estefan , Tina Turner , and Stevie Nicks .
