Chloe Kelly said receiving her own personalised Barbie Doll from Mattel was a “dream come true”.

The doll, dressed in the England kit that the Lionesses wore at their victorious 2025 European Championships in Switzerland, is part of the toy company’s Role Model collection and has been released to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Kelly, who is the first England footballer to feature as a Barbie doll, said that seeing her doll “put a smile on my face” and was an incredibly special moment.

“The details were incredible, and as a young girl, you dreamed of having these moments, but they never seemed to be the case that they could become true.”
