Model Heidi Klum has given her permission for her likeness to be used as part of Barbie’s Blonde Ambition Collection.

Heidi, 36, who was born in Germany, is currently pregnant with her fourth child and she allowed Mattel to use her look as inspiration for a doll for the launch of the new collection.

Barbie is 50 years old this year as the first fashion doll was launched in 1959.

The Barbie’s Blonde Ambition Collection range will be released later this year.

The original Barbie was created by American businesswoman Ruth Handler, who reportedly used a German doll Bild Lilli as inspiration.
