    Look, we all wish we could be Barbie girls living in a Barbie world, because—as Aqua poetically tells us—life of plastic, it's fantastic. But only a few chosen ones have the honor of being #BarbieBlessed by the folks at Mattel. Click through the gallery to find out which celebs have been immortalized in doll form, and remember: imagination, life is your creation.

    Beyoncé

    Please get in formation with this Destiny's Child-era Beyoncé Barbie, because it definitely belongs on your nightstand. Nothing lures in a Tinder date like an adult woman owning a Barbie, right?!

    Cher

    Cher

    Werk, Cher Barbie, WERK.

    Cyndi Lauper

    Cyndi Lauper

    We can only assume "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is code for "Girls Just Wanna Play with Barbies at the Age of 28 and Not Be Judged, K Bye."

    Elvis and Priscilla Presley

    Elvis and Priscilla Presley

    If it's wrong to say Barbie Priscilla and Barbie Elvis are relationship goals, we don't want to be right.

    Emmy Rossum

    Emmy Rossum

    In which we literally cannot tell IRL Emmy Rossum apart from her Barbie doll.

    Ava Duvernay

    Ava Duvernay

    Selma director Ava Duvernay was made into a Barbie as part of Mattel's "Shero" collection honoring powerful women. No one is more worthy.

    Grace Kelly

    Grace Kelly

    Since the majority of us will never be actual princesses, we should probably live life vicariously through this Barbie Grace Kelly, right?

    Audrey Hepburn

    Audrey Hepburn

    Honestly, it's impossible to look at this doll and *not* have an inexplicable urge for coffee and a side of diamonds.

    J.K. Rowling
    (Image credit: Mattel/Getty )

    J.K. Rowling

    Kind of offended that J.K.'s Barbie doesn't come with a sorting hat, but we'll take it.

    Joan Jett

    Joan Jett

    Clap-clap-clap to the Barbie hair team, because this shag is 👌.

    Prince William and Kate Middleton

    Prince William and Kate Middleton

    Okay, we see you guys, but where is the cute bored flower girl doll?

    Katy Perry

    Katy Perry

    This is our favorite celebrity Barbie of the bunch for obvious reasons relating to cupcakes.

    Heidi Klum

    Heidi Klum

    Heidi helped pick an outfit for her Barbie, and said it was "very important" that she wear cute underwear underneath. #Priorities.

    Jennifer Lopez

    Jennifer Lopez

    Kinda wish this Barbie was wearing Jennifer's infamous 2000 Grammy dress, but guess we get the J.Lo we deserve.

    Marilyn Monroe

    Marilyn Monroe

    Note the face mole. It's all in the subtle detail work, guys.

    Nicki Minaj

    Nicki Minaj

    Reppin' Barbie's favorite color like it ain't no thing.

    Misty Copeland

    Misty Copeland

    Misty Copeland is The American Ballet Theater's first African American Principle Dancer, so yeah—this doll is much more than a simple toy.

    Shakira

    Shakira

    Doll Shakira's hips don't lie, that's all we're saying, mmmkay?

    Twiggy

    Twiggy

    Before Heidi, there was Twiggy. Before Twiggy, there was nothing.

    Zendaya

    Zendaya

    How much do you love the fact that Mattel chose Zendaya's Oscar beauty look for her Barbie? A powerful statement to those who criticized the actress' decision to wear her hair in locs for the red carpet.

    Gigi Hadid

    Gigi Hadid

    If any hater is *still* debating  Hadid's supermodel status, she's now next level iconic with her very own Barbie. Hadid and frequent collaborator Tommy Hilfiger announced the released of the Gigi Hadid Barbie on Insta. Naturally, the Barbie is wearing a classic Tommy Jeans outfit and it's all kinds of perfect.
