Katrina Kaif has made it to the list of international icons like Marilyn Monroe, Shakira, Audrey Hepburn, Heidi Klum and Elizabeth Taylor, who had all been immortalised as Barbie Dolls. In 2009, Katrina Kaif had walked the runway at the Lakme Fashion Week for the 'Barbie All Dolled Up' Show, to celebrate Barbie’s 50th birthday. The show was a contest for the best Barbie costume, and as the face of Barbie, Katrina Kaif wore the winning dress by designer Nishka Lulla on the runway. On the same day, Mattel India, which is a toy-making company, presented the actor with a 'Katrina Kaif Barbie Doll'. The doll was also dressed in the same design, a short pink tiered dress just like the one Katrina Kaif wore on the ramp, as she herself was dolled up in a tiered dress to unveil the new Barbie.
