Mattel Inc., the toy brand that includes Barbie dolls, announced plans to celebrate Barbie’s 65th anniversary on March 9th by honoring “global storytellers using their platform for good.” With International Women’s Day on March 8th, it seemed to be the perfect fit for honoring such women making their mark in the world!

Shania Twain was among the list of women to receive her likeness as a Barbie doll. She of course had to announce the news with the iconic Ryan Gosling line from the Barbie movie itself:

@shaniatwain

I had to 😂 But seriously... I am honoured to be recognised as a @barbie role model - I have my own one-of-a-kind Barbie doll!! Pinch me!! 🥹💗 #Barbie #Sublime

Other women with the honor of receiving their own Barbie doll include Viola Davis, Dame Helen Mirren, Kylie Minogue, Maria Gomez, Nichole Fujita, Enissa Amani and Lila Avilés.

These dolls aren’t for sale as they are just a way to honor influential women making their mark for good in the world.
