Laverne Cox is getting her own Barbie doll!

To celebrate her 50th birthday on May 29, the Emmy-award winning actor and LGBTQ activist is honored with a Tribute Collection Barbie. Her doll is dressed in a red ball gown, a silver bodysuit and comes with accessories like high-heeled boots and silver earrings.

“It’s been a dream for years to work with Barbie to create my own doll,” Cox said in a statement. “I can’t wait for fans to find my doll on shelves and have the opportunity to add a Barbie doll modeled after a transgender person to their collection.”

Cox added, “I hope that people can look at this Barbie and dream big like I have in my career. The space of dreaming and manifesting is such a powerful source and leads you to achieve more than what you originally thought was possible.” 

Cox shared that a conversation with her therapist led to a whole new relationship with Barbie dolls as an adult.
