Kylie Minogue says she’s ‘overwhelmed’ after being immortalised as Barbie.

The Aussie singer joined several other women, including Shania Twain, Viola Davis and Helen Mirren, chosen to have their likeness captured in one-of-a-kind Barbie dolls to mark International Women’s Day, and Barbie’s 65th birthday.

“When I first saw my Kylie Barbie, Padam Barbie, honestly overwhelmed,” Kylie said.

“And it’s weird that in that moment, I don’t know, it’s being face-to-face with a version of yourself – I wish I woke up like that, which I don’t – but just aware of my life journey to reach that point in my career – to be immortalised as a Barbie. Yeah, it was wonderful.”

The 55-year-old also shared her thoughts on social media, saying, “Look at Padam Barbie!!!! Baby Kylie would NOT believe this is happening right now.”
