Inspired by her outfit in the “One in a Million” music video, the doll, which is currently out of stock on the Mattel website– donned an all-black faux leather look, including a vest, crop top and silver studded pants, with black gloves and sunglasses.

And the Barbie wasn't just a love letter from Mattel, but also from Aaliyah's brother Rachad Haughtonwho worked closely with the toy company to design the doll and was “blown away” by the results.
