Lenny Kravitz, the 62-year-old musician known for hits like "Fly Away" and "Are You Gonna Go My Way," is being turned into a Barbie doll to celebrate Ken’s 65th anniversary. As one of only two "Kenbassadors"—the first being LeBron James—Kravitz's doll will feature his signature dreadlocks, sunglasses, and stage attire, including a bronze-colored mesh top and denim jeans. Mattel’s vice president described the honor as recognition of Kravitz’s influence on style and culture. The collectible doll will be available for purchase online from September 17 at $70 (£52).

Story summary
Mattel, the toy company behind Barbie, announced it will release a collectible doll of singer and actor Lenny Kravitz as part of Ken's 65th anniversary celebration. This marks Kravitz, along with basketball star LeBron James, as one of only two "Kenbassadors" in history. The doll will feature Kravitz’s signature on-stage look, including a bronze-colored mesh cowl-neck tank top and boot-leg denim jeans, complemented by a studded belt, boots, sunglasses, and his trademark dreadlocks. Kravitz expressed how honored he feels to be chosen for this distinction, calling Barbie an institution that he never imagined being part of when he was younger. The collectible doll is inspired by Kravitz's recent Blue Electric Light Tour, marking over 40 years in the music industry.
