She’s a doll living in a Barbie world.
Aaliyah has joined the hallowed halls of legendary singers immortalized in Barbie form by doll maker Mattel.
The limited edition Barbie doll, honoring her lasting impact on music, fashion, and pop culture, was made available for pre-order on Thursday, coinciding with what would have been the late icon's 46th birthday.
In a testament to her enduring legacy, the Aaliyah Barbie sold out online in just 30 minutes, according to The Detroit Free Press. Re-sellers have already listed the doll — which retails for $55 — for upwards of $100 on eBay.

It is expected that Barbie will be available again on Mattel's and Target's websites, as well as in Target stores, by the time it officially launches for sale on January 26.
Aaliyah — born Aaliyah Dana Haughton — died in 2001 at the age of 22 after a tragic plane crash in the Bahamas. Known for her groundbreaking contributions to R&B, hip-hop and pop music, Aaliyah is remembered not only for her powerful voice but also for her distinctive fashion sense that blended street style with elegance.
Inspired by the outfit she donned in her "One in a Million" music video, Aaliyah's Barbie sports a chic leather jacket, cargo trousers, and stylish accessories that embody the late star's effortlessly cool vibe.
