S

he didn’t have long blond tresses, bubble-

gum pink heels or an anatomically impossi-

ble waist, but trust us, she was still Barbie. On

Nov. 13, 2017, Mattel announced a doll that

was a far cry from how the world had come to see

their iconic product: The only exposed skin on this

Barbie was on her face and her left hand. This was

the Ibtihaj doll or, as she became known colloquial-

ly, Hijab Barbie. She was modelled after fencer Ib-

tihaj Muhammad, the first Muslim American wom-

an to compete in the Olympics wearing a hijab. In a

white fencer’s uniform that sheathed most of her

body, as well as a matching headscarf, this Barbie

was more covered up than any of her predecessors.

She was part of the manufacturer’s Shero line,

launched two years earlier, which included dolls

based on other women meant to inspire, including

filmmaker Ava DuVernay and plus-size model Ash-

ley Graham. At the time, Muhammad told The New

Yorker that her hijab was “something I wear like I

wear a shirt or I wear pants.” She said she hoped

children would “take it off and try it on their other

Barbies.”
