"Zendaya did say the Barbie's eyebrows were #onfleek," the doll's designer, Carlyle Nuera, wrote on Instagram.
Needless to say, Zendaya LOVED the doll. "When I was little I couldn't find a Barbie that looked like me, my...how times have changed," she wrote on her Instagram.
"Thank you [Barbie] for this honor and for allowing me to be a part of your diversification and expansion of the definition of beauty. Can't wait to keep doing amazing things with you," she continued.
And though fans of the doll can't personally buy it, they aren't shy about voicing their opinion about this iconic moment.
This is an amazing moment for all women .. Congratulations @Zendaya and awesome job @Barbie for this !!! #BeYou
This made me tear up. The fact that we have a BLACK doll with LOCKS in her head, this is going to change the game.
One little girl in particular can't hold back her thoughts.
Baby cousin said she wants @Zendaya Barbie because it's so beautiful and .... 💕💕
Thank you Zendaya for ~shaking up~ the Barbie world, inspiring people of all ages, and staying true to you.
Now that's something to dance about.
