The famous American brand Bratz has just presented a brand new doll model on its social networks, and for the first time, it bears the image of a French star.
Known and recognized since the early 2000s for its fashion dolls, the American brand Bratz published, on September 12, on its Instagram account, several images of a new doll model. At first glance, nothing could be more normal for a brand that has been marketing dolls for more than twenty years, but it’s actually a real novelty for the brand, since – coorico! – for the first time, she is inspired by a French celebrity.
Although the presentation of the figurine received a certain enthusiasm (87,000 likes under the Bratz post and almost as many under those of the doll’s creator), no release date has been announced, nor even information on a potential marketing. For several years, the American company behind these fashion dolls has represented numerous personalities on the world scene without putting them on sale.
It’s hard not to recognize one of the most fashionable French personalities in recent years, but join in the fun with the image below…
Behind this platinum hair, these powdered cheeks and this floral dress, hides the singer Aya Nakamura. The brand, and especially the creator of the doll, a Frenchwoman known on Tiktok under the pseudonym Monsterlool, were inspired by the look of the interpreter of Djadja during the 2024 Met Gala, where she caused a sensation last May. On the red carpet of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the young woman arrived in a dress embroidered with crystals and floral details, made by the house of Balmain and its artistic director Olivier Rousteing.
On the surface, this may seem quite banal, but it is one more consecration for Aya Nakamura who joins superstars like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga or Bruno Mars, on the bench of singers to have her own Bratz doll. These figurines are not only targeted by the youngest: in the United States they are an integral part of popular culture and some collectors are snapping them up. For the French singer, it is also another sign of her popularity across the Atlantic since she becomes the first French artist to be honored by the brand, a few months after her notable presence on the Met Gala red carpet. in New York.
The most listened to French-speaking artist in the world – after Yseult who recently took first place – further strengthens her stature as an international star while in France, she had been the subject of numerous controversies regarding her participation in the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, viewed by nearly 2 billion viewers around the world. Excuse me a little.
