The doll has a glucose monitor arm patch
Like Lila, her doll has a glucose monitor arm patch, an insulin pump on her leg and a bag for emergency snacks.
Lila, 22, said: 'Receiving messages from people who see my patches and feel represented by me means everything to me.
'To see a Barbie that looks like me — even wearing the patches, is surreal and special.'
Lila has long been an advocate for sufferers of the disease, famously strutting down the catwalk at Milan Fashion Week in 2021 with her insulin pump on show next to her supermodel Mum.
Barbie maker Mattel teamed up with diabetes charity Breakthrough T1D to launch the doll as part of their new diversity-focused Barbie Fashionistas line, which includes Barbies representing a kaleidoscope of body types and disabilities.
Krista Berger, Senior Vice President of Barbie and Global Head of Dolls at Mattel, stressed the importance of representation: 'It's vital that children see themselves in the dolls they love.'
Over 30,000 children in the UK live with Type 1 diabetes — a lifelong autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin, requiring daily injections or use of insulin pumps to prevent serious health complications.
Lila's personal Barbie reflects her personal style, dressed in a black halterneck mini dress, chunky black boots, delicate gold jewellery, and tousled blonde hair — capturing the essence of her street-chic fashion.

I've got a deflated whoopee cushion for a bum after 4st weight loss – but TikTok's leggings give me ultimate curves
Read on for the top fashon trends of 2025 SQUEEZE IN I've got a deflated whoopee cushion for a bum after 4st weight loss – but TikTok's leggings give me ultimate curves Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who lost 4 stone has shared how she gets her curves back in seconds. Joanne, from Scotland, took to social media to show off the clever buy which instantly changed her body shape. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Joanne was left gobsmacked by how well the leggings worked Credit: Tiktok/@jomacx 2 Since losing weight, Joanne said her bum went missing Credit: Tiktok/@jomacx In a video, Joanne said: "My a*se is like a deflated whoopee cushion. Have I got the right people continuing to watch? Hopefully so." Now she was speaking to people with the same weight loss problem, Joanne added: "My a*se has collapsed. "It's picked up and it's left. I've lost four stone and it's goodbye, see you later." Joanne said she had been told by multiple people to try the Halara leggings and finally caved in. The leggings are specifically made to lift the bum and flatten the stomach with their ultrasculpt material. And the leggings which cost £22 on the TikTok shop are loved by many with a rating of 4.5 out of five. Even Joanna was a fan of the leggings as she put them on in the video and showed how they transformed her 'deflated whhoopee cushion' bum. She said: "They lift and sculpt everything and just keep it where it should be. It's like a scaffold for your bum." Joanne was thrilled with the leggings which gave her bum a lift with no squats and sucked her tummy in. She added: "But if you're going to get them, which I suggest you do, make sure you have them in a variety of colours because when you go back to regular leggings, you're just going to be very disappointed." 'Gorgeous' cry fashion fans as shopper shows off Dunnes Stores haul The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @jomacx with over 297k views and 4.5k likes. People were quick to take to the comments, loving the shapewear. One person wrote: "You're looking amazing." Another commented: "Oh I need these." "You look amazing," penned a third. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Mine is sliding down my legs!" "That happened to me, I lost 3 stone and my a*se fainted,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "I'm going to need some scaffolding leggings, you look great regardless."

Why we worship the Wimbledon Wags
Strangely, it was the Sunday Telegraph, not the red tops, that in 2022 coined the acronym Wags after staff in a Dubai hotel used it to describe the wives and girlfriends of England football players. Little did they know that the term would have the traction that it still does nearly 25 years later. Of course, when most people summon core Wags to mind, they think of the glorious bitchiness of the football Wags in their 2006 Baden-Baden Euro glory – all fake tan, Ugg boots, hair and sunglasses like Barbies on speed. Sadly, they don't make them like that anymore. These days, Wags don't need the papers to pap them; they are Instagram celebrities before they have even got the GHD hair straighteners out – they're not trying as hard. But I'm not here for the football Wags. I'm here for the tennis Wags and, in Wimbledon fortnight, they are here for me. The Wimbledon Wags are winking at the camera from the players' box, their faces pained by every break point, their posture guarded as the coach leans over to whisper something, sometimes their expressions are unknowable behind the Ray-Bans. To me, they are a study in a kind of courtly femininity that we rarely see anymore – a masterclass in presumed reverence, poise and, crucially, silence. Tennis, with its highly intense, individualistic psychological makeup, invites this pose as no other sport can. More than anything, I think it is their silence that invests them with such power, since we can only ever ventriloquise their thoughts. Symbolically raised above the arena where their paramour jousts, they are the subject of deep scrutiny. I'm not sure how many times the BBC cameras pan towards them during the course of any one match, but the dyad between player and Wag is clearly of enormous fascination to the commentators and, I might add, to me, the viewer. Commentators like McEnroe and Henman point the Wags out dutifully – 'and there of course is so and so' – but naturally, the brilliantly priapic Becker was the greatest at the tennis Wags, often opining on them with fabulous sexism, famously starting a row in 2021 after calling quarter-finalist Marton Fucsovics's Wag 'very pretty'. Not all tennis Wags are the same. Back in the Fab Four heyday of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, they knew the drill and had no social media to feed or augment their position. Think Federer's lovely, bosomy wife Mirka, who sat and watched with the greatest decorum, giving very little away even at match points and getting to her feet only for the win. Eventually, Mirka became – as all tennis Wags do – a study in maternity, bringing any one of their four immaculate children into the players' box as a symbol of Federer's all-round family man status and virility. Sometimes, the tennis Wag finds it hard to maintain composure, a trait that is almost always cast in terms of nationality. Djokovic's wife, Jelena – known to the crowd as a fiery, fiercely devoted Iron Curtain Serb – performs expressions of such pain and anguish that one feels that the stage could have been her true calling. This year, the media has gone wild for the presumed romance between Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu But the tennis Wags do have a stage and use it to its full advantage. Once in a decade, to the unadulterated delight of the media, the crowd and the BBC, a unicorn Wag appears. A unicorn Wag is both courtly lady of the players' box come to watch her man in combat, and a professional tennis player herself. This year, the media has gone wild for the presumed romance between Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu. Most accounts of this union draw on fictional, sexed-up castings of tennis in films like Challengers or the spectacularly awful Wimbledon starring Paul Bettany, inviting us to consider the steamy underside of the professional tour. But I think that the unicorn Wag delights – and disturbs – because she offers a study in multiple selves. Look at Steffi Graf cheering on husband Andre Agassi or Chrissie Evert championing Jimmy Connors back in his heyday – women with the ability to be both reverent and aggressive all at once. Watch Agassi look up to his players' box and silently commune with Steffi over a missed break point or bungled smash and you will see a highly coded gaze that takes in romance and strategy like no other. But which two lucky tennis Wags will sit in the box on Sunday? For maximum dramatic pietà, I am hoping that it will be Jelena Djokovic and unicorn Wag Raducanu poised to cheer on Alcaraz. One always hopes that they might turn on each other, Wagatha Christie-style, in the heat of the match with only the Ray-Bans as weapons – but of course they don't. These are tennis Wags, after all. They stand elevated, heads bowed, willing their men to victory.

Kate Moss, 51, and daughter Lila, 22, look amazing in matching black bikinis as they frolick on the beach in Ibiza
Lila was delighted by the release of a groundbreaking new Barbie that has the same health condition as her BEACH BEAUTIES Kate Moss, 51, and daughter Lila, 22, look amazing in matching black bikinis as they frolick on the beach in Ibiza Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATE Moss and her daughter Lila looked incredible as they hit the beach in Ibiza wearing matching black bikinis. The 51-year-old supermodel and glam Lila cooled off in the warm sunshine by going for a dip in the Mediterranean Sea. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Lila Moss looked great in a black bikini in Ibiza Credit: BackGrid 6 Her mum Kate wore a very similar two-piece set Credit: BackGrid 6 Lila waded into the shallows and let her blonde hair down Credit: BackGrid Lila, whose dad is media mogul Jefferson Hack, 52, looked cut from the same cloth as her famous mum as she strutted elegantly across the pebbly beach. While Kate proved she's still got it, looking lithe as she walked away from sun loungers. When she reached the water's edge, blonde Lila let her hair down and launched herself into the shallows. Lila is an open book when it comes to living with type 1 diabetes and her continuous glucose monitor (CGM) was visible as she crouched in the water. Earlier this week she spoke glowingly of the release of the first-ever Barbie doll with the condition. She said: 'I think to have a Barbie doll that looks like me with type 1 diabetes is completely surreal, and it makes me very proud to be able to represent this community. 'I get so many messages every day about how I've helped someone be less insecure or helped them be more proud of their diabetes patches, and so to be able to represent the community in this way is very exciting and special. 'I think it's so important to embrace these patches and having them, and not hiding them or being insecure about them – I think it's really cool to have them. 'I think my younger self would be really excited about how cool my Barbie's outfit is, how nice her dress is, and she's got a little gold bangle on and she's really chic, but also just proud to represent a really important cause and something so special and close to my heart.' Lila admits she raids her mum's wardrobe, and who can blame her when it's such a treasure trove of style. Watch worrying moment Kate Moss looks 'on edge and frantic' as she poses front row at Paris Fashion Week She recently took inspiration from her mum's risque style when she went braless in a see-through top at Paris Fashion Week. Stepping out at an YSL show, Lila ditched a bra for the eye-catching outfit. Earlier this year, she said she turned to her mum's collections for festival season. She explained: 'I'll find something in my mum's wardrobe — borrowing a T-shirt — then I'll see something, and say, 'Wait, can I borrow that for Glastonbury?' months in advance.' The model is making a name for herself in her own right, too, having worked with brands such as Marc Jacobs, Fendi and Versace. 6 Kate also went for a dip Credit: BackGrid 6 Lila's insulin pump was visible as she crouched down Credit: BackGrid
