Lenny Kravitz receives his own Ken doll in the Barbie Kenbassadors collection

Musician Lenny Kravitz has officially entered the Barbie universe by receiving his own Ken doll. He was named the latest recipient in the Barbie Signature Kenbassadors collection, which honors men who have influenced culture.

This announcement coincides with Ken's 65th anniversary. The collectible figure is inspired by one of Kravitz's stage looks: it is dressed in a bronze baggy top with a neckline, flared jeans, a studded belt, boots, and sunglasses. The figure also features his signature dreadlocks, making it instantly recognizable as the award-winning musician.

For Kravitz, being chosen as a Kenbassador was a moment of fulfillment. He noted: 'Barbie is an institution, and as a child, I couldn't imagine this. To be selected by Mattel as a Kenbassador, only the second in history, is an honor and absolutely surreal.'

Kravitz becomes the second person to receive the title of Kenbassador; the first in this collection was basketball player LeBron James when it was launched in 2025. The collection continues to celebrate men who have left their mark on music, sports, entertainment, fashion, and broader culture.

The musician, who has sold over 50 million records worldwide, built a career that extends far beyond music. He has also worked as an actor and designer, becoming known for his unique approach to fashion and personal style. The doll appeared amid Kravitz's ongoing 'Blue Electric Light Tour', offering fans another way to celebrate his career and unmistakable aesthetic.

The Barbie Signature Kenbassadors Lenny Kravitz Collectable Doll became available online starting Thursday at the recommended retail price of $70.
