This stunning doll honors the legendary "Queen of Salsa" Celia Cruz, whose captivating voice and vibrant personality left an indelible mark on the world of music. Cruise's career has spanned more than six decades, recorded at least 75 albums and 23 gold records, and won numerous awards, including 5 Grammy Awards and the Presidential National Medal of Arts.
Affectionately known as "La Reina de la Salsa" or "The Queen of Salsa," Celia Cruz pioneered music that transcended genre boundaries. Her captivating performances and powerful vocals have brought joy and inspiration to fans around the world. Barbie's decision to include Celia Cruz in the Women of Inspiration series is a testament to her lasting legacy and the impact she has had on music and culture.
Creating the Celia Cruz Barbie® Inspiring Women™ Doll was a painstaking process led by designer Carlisle Nuer. From her fiery stage presence to her dazzling fashion sense, Nuera understood the importance of capturing Cruz's essence. The result is a doll that perfectly embodies the spirit of the queen of salsa.
One of the distinguishing features of the Barbie Celia Cruz doll is her sophisticated outfit. The doll is dressed in a fiery red mermaid dress that mirrors the iconic outfits that Cruz often wore during her performances. The dress features dramatic ruffles on the sleeves and hem, conveying the vibrant energy that Cruise brought to the stage.
To truly capture Celia Cruz's radiant personality, the doll's make-up includes shimmering eye shadows that add a touch of glamour. Cruise was known for her striking stage presence, and this attention to detail in the doll's makeup pays tribute to her vibrant spirit.
In addition, the doll is decorated with bright silver jewelry, reflecting the accessories that were a characteristic part of Celia Cruz's look. The jewelry adds a touch of elegance and sparkle to the doll, making her a stunning embodiment of the Queen of Salsa.
Celia Cruz's famous catchphrase "¡Azúcar!" (Sugar!), is synonymous with her infectious energy and sweetness that she brings to her music. This iconic expression is a fitting tribute to her joyful spirit and serves as a reminder of the passion she brought to the world of salsa.
Celia Cruz Barbie® Inspiring Women™ doll is a wonderful addition to the Barbie Inspiring Women line, which celebrates the life and legacy of a music legend whose influence has inspired and continues to inspire generations. With attention to detail and vibrant design, this doll is not only a collectible, but also a symbol of inspiration and empowerment for all who admire Celia Cruz and her extraordinary journey.
