England’s double Euro winner Chloe Kelly has become the first England player to be included in Mattel’s “Barbie Dream Team.”
Celebrating International Women’s Day this Sunday, 8th March. Chloe Kelly has been honoured with her very own Barbie Doll, styled in England’s Euro 2025 winning Home kit.
Chloe Kelly is one of the few women to be honoured with a one-of-a-kind doll, including:
• Serena Williams – Tennis Legend with 23 Grand Slam singles titles, entrepreneur, and global icon.
• Kellie Gerardi – Research astronaut and payload specialist.
• Regina Sirvent Alvarado – Professional race car driver and one of the most prominent figures in motorsport in Mexico.
• Helene Fischer – One of Germany’s most famous and influential contemporary pop artists.
• Zoja Skubis – Youngest Polish woman to summit Manaslu (8,163 m) and Mount Everest (8,849 m).
• Stephanie Gilmore – Professional surfer and the first woman to achieve eight World Surf League (WSL) World Championship Titles.
• Smriti Mandhana – The first Indian woman cricketer to score a century in all three formats (T20, Test and ODI).
Speaking in London at the photoshoot for this landmark event, Kelly said: “I’m really happy seeing my very own Barbie doll. It put a smile on my face.
“The details were incredible, and as a young girl, you dreamed of having these moments, but they never seemed to be the case that they could become true.
“To be a Barbie role model is so special. To have my very own one-of-a-kind Barbie doll. I’m very proud of that. I can’t wait to show my family.
“You don’t really believe these things could happen. You always look for the trophies and the wins on the pitch, but off the pitch, this is a massive win.”
She also added, “To see a footballer with a Barbie doll shows that our sport is here to stay. We’ve inspired so many on the pitch, but off the pitch this is huge.”
While the Barbie doll is currently in Chloe Kellys hands, its yet to be seen if Mattel will capitalise on the ongoing popularity of the women’s game & mass produce these dolls for general sale.
Mattel are holding a Barbie Dream Fest in Fort Lauderdale, USA at the end of March which will include some of the famous faces from the series, including Serena Williams. For anyone in the area, you can get your tickets here –www.barbiedreamfest.com
Unfortunately for us here in the UK, we will have to wait to see Chloe Kelly in action as she is currently recovering from a Knee issue that has seen her sidelined for large parts of the 25/26 Season for Arsenal with no real update from Renée Slegers in recent weeks.
