Angel Reese releases actual 'Bayou Barbie' doll with WNBA All-Star weekend on tap
“Bayou Barbie” is no longer a nickname for Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese. It’s a reality. Reese announced Friday that her “Bayou Barbie” doll will go on sale Friday.
The doll — which is an actual “Barbie” doll — is complete with a basketball uniform. The uniform, which is pink, features the name “Angel” on the front and wears Reese’s No. 5. The doll also features Reese’s iconic leg sleeve on its left leg.

Reese announced the release of the doll on her X account on Friday. The doll is selling for roughly $38.
The announcement comes a day before Reese will take on Caitlin Clark, A’ja Wilson and other WNBA stars in the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game. Reese was voted into the game and will serve as a reserve.
Reese, 24, has emerged as one of the league’s bigger stars since she was drafted by the Chicago Sky in 2024. Over her first three seasons in the WNBA, Reese averaged 14.4 points and 12.5 rebounds per game. That performance has earned Reese an appearance in the WNBA All-Star Game in each of her three years as a pro.
After two seasons in Chicago, Reese was traded to the Dream in the offseason. She’s excelled in her first year with her new squad.
Prior to joining the WNBA, Reese spent the final two seasons of her college career at LSU, where she earned the moniker “Bayou Barbie.” She spent her first two college seasons at Maryland.
