Barbie has announced a Zendaya doll, to be presented at the Barbie Rock 'N Royals Concert Experience - which benefits the VH1 Save The Music Foundation - on September 26 in LA.

The doll is modelled on Zendaya's Vivienne Westwood look from the Oscars red carpet, and she commented 'I'm excited to be a part of the new direction the Barbie brand is headed, specifically how they are celebrating diversity in the line and encouraging kids to raise their voices. It's a positive message to send to my fans'.
