Venus Williams has a new Barbie, this one part of the
dollmaker's Inspiring Women collection.
Williams' doll, to be released Friday, will celebrate the tennis
great and pay equity champion with a doll wearing the uniform
she wore while winning Wimbledon in 2007.
Williams' win for the fifth of her seven grand slam titles was
the first time a woman received equal prize money as the men at
a top-level tournament.
The doll, suggested to retail for $38, will feature Williams in
all white with a green gem necklace, wristband, racket and
tennis ball.
Williams also had a Barbie doll released in May 2024 that
highlighted nine trailblazing female athletes as part of
Barbie's 65th anniversary celebration.
