Acclaimed Cuban American singer, songwriter, producer and actor Gloria Estefan has been honored with her own Barbie doll.
The Latina artist shared the news on social media Thursday morning as she celebrated her 65th birthday. The doll wears thigh-high animal print boots and a black jacket with gold jeweled accents — all inspired by her 1989 hit music video “Get on Your Feet,” according to a statement by Mattel. Currently, the doll is sold out on the company’s website.
