​Angel Reese and the Angel Reese Signature Barbie. | Angel Reese via X/Twitter (@Reese10Angel). It’s not every day that an athlete gets a Barbie doll made in their likeness. In fact, it’s only happened only twice in league history, now that three-time WNBA All-Star Angel Reese has become the second player to become a Barbie. On July 24, during the second day of WNBA All-Star weekend, the Angel Reese Signature Barbie doll became available nationwide. Reese earned the nickname “Bayou Barbie” during LSU’s 2023 national championship run. Now, that nickname has evolved into something even bigger: a miniature version of herself for young fans to hold in their hands.This Barbie Knows Ball 🎀🏀 The Angel Reese Barbie Doll is out now! pic.twitter.com/VR4zYmhyyf— Angel Reese (@Reese10Angel) July 24, 2026And wear on their feet.

She holds a pink basketball with “Barbie” printed across the side, while a pink headband completes her signature sleek ponytail. She, of course, also is wearing the Barbie colorway of the Angel 1s on her feet. Angel’s Barbie is, truly, a dream that became realityReese hopes the doll inspires young girls to embrace their confidence and believe in themselves, just as she did while reaching this milestone.Here’s Reese statement on the doll’s release:Having my own Barbie doll is a true dream come true for me. It’s such an incredible honor because it’s about showing girls that there are no limits to what they can achieve.I’ve never let anyone else define what’s possible for me, and every challenge I’ve faced has only made me stronger. I hope this doll reminds girls to be unapologetically themselves, embrace every part of who they are, and go after their dreams with confidence.Reese also expressed that, ever since she’s been adopted the “Bayou Barbie” name, owning her own doll became one of her biggest goals, sharing during All-Star media availability:I used to put Barbie stuff on merch, and I wasn’t really supposed to. So I told them (Mattel) I really want to have a Barbie doll one day. To have a Barbie, you got to be iconic. You have to do some real things, and I knew it would take some time… I knew that’s what I wanted, and I spoke it into existence.https://t.co/BVZMfUHqVwSHOP NOW! 🎀 pic.twitter.com/MLBmEUWTTK— Angel Reese (@Reese10Angel) July 24, 2026She was right. As mentioned earlier, only one other iconic WNBA star achieved this feat, and it was after she retired.
