Grown-Ish star Yara Shahidi kicked off her weekend by co-hosting the Barbie 60th Anniversary pop-up on Friday night. The 19-year-old actress co-hosted the event with rapper H.E.R. in New York City, and there she even received her own Barbie.
Shahidi was one of several women who were honored with their own dolls, along with tennis star Naomi Osaka and model Adwoa Aboah. Shahidi stepped out wearing a tan top under a blue denim pantsuit, which had drawstrings around the waist and on the sleeves.
The actress was wearing large hoop earrings as well as nude pumps, while flashing the peace sign on the red carpet.
'What today represents, at least for me and for my peers globally, is that quite honestly, not even the sky is the limit,' Shahidi said at the event, which coincided with International Women's Day.
'I believe it is crucial for not only myself, but young girls everywhere, to understand they have the support of people an corporations, movement, here to help them achieve their dreams,' Shahidi continued.
'Let’s continue to inspire the next generation and each other,' the actress said. Barbie also honored several other women around the globe with their own Barbie dolls, such as film directors Patty Jenkins and Ava DuVernay.
Others being honored with their own Barbie dolls are snowboarder Chloe Kim, gymnast Gabby Douglas, model Ashley Graham and NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, who was portrayed in the film Hidden Figures.
