Zendaya was ecstatic about her doll, saying "When I was little I couldn't find a Barbie that looked like me, my...how times have changed."

She also thanked Barbie for the honor, and for their "diversification and expansion of the definition of beauty." The stunning doll is a recreation of her Vivienne Westwood look at the 2015 Oscars, where E! Fashion Police's Guiliana Rancic said the star's faux locs made her look like she smelled of "patchouli oil and weed."
