Marilyn Monroe‘s birthday celebrations haven’t concluded quite yet.
Mattel is honoring the Hollywood icon with a new Barbie Signature doll inspired by her performance of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” in the 1953 musical “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” The collectible arrives Aug. 18, a little more than two months after what would have been Monroe’s 100th birthday on June 1. Monroe’s centennial has been marked throughout 2026 with exhibitions, auctions and other tributes to the actress, whose industry-spanning influence has endured more than six decades after her death.
