For its "Dolls Of The World" collection, Mattel has created Barbies that represent different cultures and countries around the world.
This year's doll for Mexico is dressed in a full mariachi outfit.
As the website describes, "Barbie wears a fitted black bolero jacket and cropped trousers trimmed in intricate golden brocade that mirrors the pattern on her impressive, wide-brimmed sombrero."
"Flourishes include a brilliant pink tie, low ponytail and tall black boots," it concludes.
On social media people seemed to be divided as to whether this Barbie is a good idea or not.
Mattel's new Mariachi Barbie intended to celebrate Mexican culture. When White folks "dress up" it's not celebratory http://t.co/MaUu2iTtxl
Omg @ this "mariachi" Barbie holy shit.
@LatinoUSA so great to see that in a Barbie... It can get kids talking abt mariachi music, provides an opp to have a discussion.
This is not the first Mexico doll that Mattel has included in its collection. Previous versions include Barbie holding a passport and a Chihuahua, Barbie wearing a colorful fiesta dress, and the first "Mexican Barbie."
Felix Sanchez, chairman of the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts, said he has no problem with the new depiction.
