Soccer player Chloe Kelly, known for her pace and powerful shots, has been named as Barbie's role model of the year. The 28-year-old athlete, who plays for Arsenal and England's women's national football team, the Lionesses, is also a Barbie doll. Kelly, who scored the winning goal in the UEFA European Women's Championship in 2022 and the clinching penalty in the 2025 Euro final, is wearing a cinched denim blouse with matching barrel-leg trousers designed by British Nigerian designer Tolu Coker. This move is part of Mattel's efforts to promote body positivity and strength to promote a more inclusive representation of the world.
