Miley Cyrus has officially joined the Barbie universe with a collector doll created in her likeness.
The Flowers singer is the latest star to receive a collectible figure as part of Mattel's Barbie Signature Series.
According to Mattel, the new doll recognizes Miley's lasting influence as a musician, actress, and champion of self expression while celebrating the impact she has made across music, entertainment, and pop culture.
The design is inspired by the custom Alaïa outfit Miley wore in her Golden Burning Sun music video. The doll is dressed in a faux leather two piece pants ensemble with a hooded jacket, black pointed toe heels, and comes complete with a microphone.
In a statement, the 33 year old shared that she worked closely with the Barbie team, saying she spent "so much time digging into the details" to make sure the doll truly reflected both her creativity and personal style.
"Seeing my Barbie for the first time is a dream come true," she said. "We did not miss any marks when it came down to the design of my doll from the look, the hair, the accessories, the makeup, and the structure. Every detail was purposeful, and we spent a lot of time perfecting her not to be perfect, because that wouldn't be representative of me, but to really get down to the details of this Golden Burning Sun look."
Miley also celebrated the milestone in an Instagram video, describing it as a "full circle moment" and recalling how she used to braid her Barbie dolls' hair and switch their outfits when she was younger.
"She's something I'll never outgrow as she evolves with me," she captioned the video. "As an adult, I treasure my collection I never take out of the box. Holding my Barbie in my hands is a true full circle moment."
The former Hannah Montana star now joins fellow music icons including Kylie Minogue, Stevie Nicks, David Bowie, Elvis Presley, and Elton John, all of whom have previously been honored with their own Barbie Signature Series dolls.
The Barbie Signature Miley Cyrus Collectible Doll is available now and sells for $92.77 (£69.99).

Taylor Swift paid tribute to Alan Jackson during the country legend's farewell concert on Saturday (June 27), appearing in a special video message to thank him for the lasting impact he has had on both her career and her life.
Shown on the giant screens inside Nashville's Nissan Stadium, Swift shared that "Drive" remains her favorite song by Jackson because, as she put it, "in that song you really paint such a picture."
"That was an example that was so good for me to see at a young age, of an artist really just letting fans into the details of his life," she continued. "I appreciate you so much for the ways you have treated me and other artists and writers with such support and encouragement over the years."
The 14 time Grammy winner was among several artists who honored Jackson during the evening as he officially brought his touring career of more than three decades to a close. Marketed as Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale, the event also featured recorded tributes from Reba McEntire, Randy Travis, Keith Urban and Zac Brown, along with live guest appearances by George Strait, Luke Combs, Eric Church and Carrie Underwood. Highlights from the celebration were filmed for an upcoming NBC television special.
Swift's appearance came during a busy stretch in her own career. The Songwriters Hall of Fame recently welcomed her as one of its newest inductees, where she delivered a speech at the ceremony. The honor followed the release of "I Knew It, I Knew You," her original song for Toy Story 5, which became her 15th Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single.
Away from music, Swift has also been at the center of widespread speculation that she and fiancé Travis Kelce are preparing to marry within days. Reports suggest the wedding is expected to take place over Fourth of July weekend at Madison Square Garden.
