Lenny Kravitz has been immortalized as a Ken doll in honor of the 65th anniversary of Barbie’s male counterpart, Ken. The musician, known for hits such as "Fly Away," was named a "Kenbassador" by Mattel, marking only the second time the company has bestowed this title.
Kravitz, 62, who is also the father of actress Zoë Kravitz, was recognized not only for his music career spanning more than four decades but also in celebration of his recent Blue Electric Light tour. The first individual to receive the Kenbassador designation was U.S. basketball player LeBron James.
Reflecting his distinctive performance style, the doll’s design features a bronze-colored mesh cowl-neck tank top, bootcut jeans, a studded belt, boots, sunglasses, and Kravitz’s signature dreadlocks. The Ken doll is currently available for purchase online through Mattel Creations, with a retail price of $70 (approximately £52).
Commenting on the honor, Kravitz described Barbie as "an institution" and expressed surprise and pride at being selected. "To be chosen by Mattel as a Kenbassador, only the second one in history, is an honour and absolutely surreal," he said.
