17 People Who Are So Cool, They’ve Even Had a Barbie Doll Modeled After Them

Mattel loves to make dolls in the image of extraordinary people. For example, one of the most expensive Barbies in history was made in honor of designer Karl Lagerfeld. The creators of the doll recreated the iconic image of the legendary head of the Chanel fashion house down to the smallest detail. But famous designers are not the only ones awarded such an honor. There are now dozens of Barbies made of famous astronauts, scientists, writers, and musicians.
