Laverne Cox Celebrated Her 50th Birthday in an Itty Bitty Fendace Bikini

glamour.com:

Inventing Anna star recently had another reason to celebrate: A doll. Cox posted reveal to Instagram on May 28. “I love her,” the actor said on the Today Show, where the doll was first announced. (The “In da Club” x “Barbie Girl” soundtrack on her birthday IG post suddenly makes so much more sense.) Cox's doll is Mattel's first-ever trans Barbie doll.

In the caption, Cox took the opportunity to acknowledge the groundbreaking moment. “Thank you for this moment for the trans and lgbtq+ community in truly challenging times particularly for trans kids,” she wrote. “I am so deeply humbled and I hope this doll will be a beacon of hope and possibility for Barbie fans and beyond of all ages.” A designer bikini moment and a Barbie doll?
