30+ Photos of Dogs Before & After Their Adoption That Melted Our Hearts

Check Out These Photos of Dogs Before and After Their Adoption That Melted Our Hearts

Everybody loves when a shaggy dog story turns into a rags-to-riches tale, so today, we’re celebrating dogs who were saved from the puppy pound and given new lives. It’s also a celebration of the compassionate human heroes who rescued them. Some started out mistreated, malnourished, and scared before blossoming into magnificent, gorgeous woofers. These heartwarming before and after photos show just how much finding a forever home means to these grateful pups.

Bonnie and Clyde

These two pups were inside, doing a 20-stretch for aiding and a-petting and committing pawjury. But then they gave a visitor their best puppy dog eyes, and who could resist? Soon, they were handed a get-out-of-jail-free card and went from cellmates to lifemates when they were adopted and given a forever home.

Bonnie and Clyde

Now, the two ex-cellmates, who we’re calling Bonnie and Clyde, act as getaway drivers for bank robbers… when they can remember not to get too excited!

Apollo

This is Apollo. At one stage, he would fit in the palm of your hand. Even as an abandoned puppy, he was adorable, but he needed a lot of love to grow up to be such a handsome boy.

Apollo

His name is very appropriate because Apollo is named after the Greek god of healing (among many other things like the sun, music, and archery). Apollo loves walkies, hanging out with his forever dad, and causing havoc! And the bigger he gets, the more havoc he will cause!

Toby

“Toby or not Toby? That is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of living in the pound, or to live like a king, taking up a whole king-size bed.” Poor Toby used to drink water from a metal bucket and use a plastic crate as a pillow.

Toby

But after his new owners took him home, he’s the lord of the manor. His new mom and dad have to turn and plump his pillows for him every hour. What a lucky boy!

Harper

Vivacious Vizsla Harper had been returned to the shelter three times before her first birthday. But when her new owners saw her, they had to help. They wrote online, “The last year with her has been anything but easy, and she tests us almost every day.”

Harper

They continued, “But she is the light of our life, and we couldn’t imagine what we would do without her. We are so filled with joy anytime she smiles and curls up in bed, knowing that she has finally found her home!”

Koda Bear

What a difference a few months make. In the first photo, this doggo is cooped up in a cage, pleading to every visitor, “Will you love me?” And in the second picture, he owns the house, not letting anyone else on his couch, saying, “Thank you. I am soooo loved! Now rub my belly!”

Koda Bear

His name is Koda Bear, and after getting his daily ration of belly rubs, he likes to request his favorite meal — “Rossijiss.” In human speak, that’s “Sausages.”

Bow Tie

We don’t know the name of this Pekingese/Corgi mix, so we’ll call him Bow Tie. When his new owners first got him, he had sad floppy ears and terrible circles under his eyes, making him look like a droopy cartoon character.

Bow Tie

Yes, even dogs get eye bags when they don’t sleep properly. This is what two months of love, care, affection, and compassion look like. After being fed properly and getting more rest, he’s now bright, alert, and absolutely dashing. Now, he even has happy ears and a wicked bow tie.

Polar Bear

Is the creature in this first photo a puppy or a baby polar bear? It’s hard to tell. She’s actually a Jindo dog from Korea. All she needed was a new mom. Luckily, along came a lady to give her the love, protection, and snuggles she needed.

Polar Bear

The first photo shows a sad, lonely, scruffy polar bear cub. After a year and a half with her new mom, though, this beautiful woofer is the queen of hiking and owns the Spanish countryside.

Moon

No, this isn’t Marvel comics Cosmo the Spacedog, but she does have a cosmic name — her name is Moon. She was tied up in the dog pound in what her parents call her “prison photo.” But just two months after finding her forever home, she’s ruling the roost because that couch belongs to her now.

Moon

We’re surprised she didn’t plant a flag in it like Neil Armstrong did on the moon! Her owners wrote online that adopting her was the “best decision we ever made. We love you, Moon!”

King Louie

This funny furry little fellow is named King Louie after the Orangutan in The Jungle Book. The cartoon ape was, in turn, named after legendary jazz musician Louis Armstrong. The rescue dog’s proud parents wrote online, “King Louie was surrendered on Saturday after a year of no grooming. Very nice glow-up since being in our home!”

King Louie

After a year of no grooming, he looked like he’d been in the jungle — but now he looks like the king of the swingers, the jungle VIP… Everybody sing along now!

Pablo

This is Pablo. According to his new owners, the animal welfare ambulance checking him out was about to abandon him again “because he wasn’t chipped and didn’t have breakages, so that means that they had to leave him behind.”

Pablo

So, as the ambulance disappeared into the sunset, the couple with hearts of gold took Pablo in and raised him themselves. Look at how happy he is to be off the streets. We’re not sure where he’s from, but we’re gonna call him Pablo Escobark!

Luna

This poor husky named Luna was left to fend for herself and ended up malnourished to the point she was just skin and bones. But even after being so mistreated, look how much love he has in her eyes in the first photo. Who could resist her? Well, not her new owners. They took her home and cared for her, and look at her eight months later!

Luna

Notice her different colored eyes, like David Bowie. The condition is called ​​Heterochromia, from the Greek meaning different and color.

Bowie

This little bundle of fur was rescued by a lady and her husband off the streets of Guam. The Young Americans wrote, “He was covered in ticks and burs, and his back leg was broken presumably from being hit by a car. And he was only two months old! Now, he’s six months old and lives in Hawaii with six humans that adore him. Rescue is beautiful.”

Bowie

They named him Bowie because he’s a Diamond Dog. That’s a reference to the name of a David Bowie album, in case you were wondering.

Possum

Everybody say hello to Possum. Her owners gave her that name because her poor tail was limp and hairless, like a possum’s. She had to be sheared as she was covered in fleas. Now, she has a bright shiny, long coat, and just check out the difference in her eyes. Even her eyes shine more brightly.

Possum

Possum’s hobbies and interests include long walks, swimming, getting petted and groomed, getting her owners wet when shaking off water, eating snacks, fetching sticks, hide and seek, and playing possum.

Sylvi

We don’t know who looks more distressed in this first photo, the dog or her rescuer! This brave young man rescued Syvli from terrible conditions in a police pound in China in 2017. Her owner said, “Fast forward to 2021, and she’s a completely different dog. For most of 2018, she adjusted.”

Sylvi

He continued, “She wouldn’t walk on a leash, wouldn’t go to the bathroom outside, never played with toys, she had no idea how to be a dog. Now, she’s livin’ life by the ocean, and she is amazingly happy.”

Ricky

This is Ricky. Say hello to Ricky. When he came to the shelter, he had long, matted hair and looked like he’d been dragged through a hedge backward. He was given a forever home by a young man who takes really great care of him. Now, sometime later, Ricky scrubs up quite nicely.

Ricky

With his collars, tie, and name badge, it’s either Ricky’s first day of school photo or he has an important new job to report to. We think Ricky might be the Wolf of Wall Street!

Pancake

Pancake looks a bit like Dorothy’s dog in The Wizard of Oz, but she isn’t a Cairn Terrier; she’s an Idaho Shag. This poor pup had to have one of her legs amputated in 2021. Having three legs meant she was less likely to find a forever home. But then, one lady saw her and fell in love.

Pancake

Pancake loves hiking, car rides, rolling in grass, and swimming. She recently went on a road trip to Utah and Colorado, so here’s a photo of her thinking, “This ain’t Kansas!”

Teddy Pretzels

This is Teddy, or going by his name tag, Teddy Pretzels. His new owners posted on Instagram — “We found Teddy’s shelter picture, and it’s heartbreaking. we’re so glad he came into our lives and is letting his sweet, goofy personality shine! Hopefully, he knows that he’ll be safe, clean, fed, and loved for the rest of his life.”

Teddy Pretzels

Even though Teddy is a boy, he’s fit for a queen. That’s because he’s got some Corgi in him, and Corgis were the late Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite breed.

Goldie

The first picture of this adorable Golden Retriever/Pyrenees mix was taken many years ago. How do we know? Well, after many years working as a service dog, perhaps as a guide dog for blind people, or a hearing dog for deaf people, she’s now retired!

Goldie

As an old-aged paw-sioner, she gets to laze in the sun all day. And do you know what? She deserves it after dedicating her life to others as a service dog. You lap up every sun drop, girl!

Archer and Zuma

These two stray Saluki mixes lived on the streets of Doha, Qatar, until a compassionate local couple took them in. We’re not sure if they were adopted by a soccer fan attending the 2022 Soccer World Cup, but it’s possible. Temperatures in the Middle Eastern country regularly hit 113° Fahrenheit.

Archer and Zuma

So, we’re not sure how Archer and Zuma reacted to their new home in Canada when they stepped off the plane. But three months later, they love snowy Canada as much as Jack London’s White Fang.

Teddy

Before he was fostered, this poor doggo was full of ticks and scars and a dirty brown color. Luckily, he was fostered by a loving human, who named him Teddy because he looks just like a cuddly teddy bear.

Teddy

After nine months of being described as “a bundle of joy,” he was finally adopted by someone in Canada and will soon go there. If you can’t adopt a dog for life, have you thought about fostering? Yes, it’s tough to see them go, but it’s a massive help.

Gizmo

Gizmo was named after the cuddly Mogwai in the 1984 classic film Gremlins. His new owner posted, “I had to convince my husband he was cute under all that hair because he thought “that’s the ugliest dog I’ve ever seen!’” His new owner gave Gizmo the love, care, and shelter he needed, and look how bright-eyed and bushy-tailed he is now!

Gizmo

The new owner was given three rules when adopting Gizmo. Don’t get him wet, avoid bright light, and don’t feed him after midnight… else he’ll turn into a Gremlin!

Coconut

This first picture was taken in the British Virgin Islands. The British overseas territory sits on a volcanic archipelago in the Caribbean, known for its rainforests, white sandy beaches, and stray doggos — who are known as Caribbean Coconut Retrievers!

Coconut

This poor shaggy beast rocked up to this lady and won her heart. After a short time in quarantine, he and his new mom now live in Florida. By the pool! Yes, this ex-stray dog from the dusty Caribbean street now lives a more rockstar life than you!

Sophie

Six-year-old Sophie was recused from a puppy mill. These are commercial dog breeding facilities characterized by quick breeding and poor conditions. According to the World Animal Foundation, there are over 10,000 puppy mills in the USA.

Sophie

Luckily, this puppy farm was discovered and closed down, and little Sophie was rescued. 18 months later, she’s living her best life. Her owner describes her as “full of fluff and mischief,” and the “little crime queen” was recently caught “frolicking” in the yard with a baby deer!

Louis

They say the camera never lies, and this first picture shows how timid and nervous this poor dog was on the day he was adopted from a shelter in Romania. You can almost feel him shaking with fear. Fast forward to today, and he’s blossomed into a fine handsome boy living in the United Kingdom.

Louis

And dare we say, he looks a bit like Lassie. In fact, he’s so good-looking he should appear in dog food commercials as the perfect example of a pooch with a glossy, shiny coat.

Burma

If there’s one downside to giving a stray puppy a forever home, it’s not knowing what breed they are or how big they might grow. This tiny brown mongrel was discovered living on the streets of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.

Burma

The only thing his rescuer could say for sure was that he wasn’t a Burmese cat or python, so he took the little fella back to the States. There, he grew into this huge, healthy, hungry, handsome, happy, huggable hound!

Paisley

When Paisley was weighed at the shelter, he defied physics by weighing a negative number of pounds and ounces. He was lonely, abandoned, and traumatized. Then, came along a guardian angel who adopted him and gave him a better life. And now, just a matter of weeks later, look at Paisley go! This is the power of giving a puppy a forever home.

Paisley

You can literally save a dog’s life. So, why not contact your local rescue center? Becoming a guardian angel is a click and phone call away.

Rosie

This is Rosie before and after adoption. In her first five years, she lived a life of fear and neglect in at least two puppy mills. The unscrupulous, criminal puppy farm owners used poor Rosie for breeding. She had mange caused by mites that burrow into the skin and cause hair loss.

Rosie

Luckily, that didn’t put off her potential parents. But, not even their optimism could have foretold what a mighty beautiful beast Rosie would become. Talk about the ugly duckling transforming into a beautiful, elegant swan!

Roman

This poor black and white abandoned pooch used to be chained up in Romania as a guard dog to protect animals. But when some good samaritans saw him, they just knew they had to help. Presumably, they unchained him and ran away with him — which is what you must also do if you see any animal chained up. Unless it’s a bear!

Roman

Now, when he’s not being mistaken for a dairy cow, this woofer loves lying in the sun. Check out the difference. We love his ears!

Cherry Blossom

The owner believes this sweet boy is a Shiba Inu with some Labrador. This poor puppy was living in a shelter, sad, lonely, and depressed. Dogs and cats get depressed and feel traumatized, just like us humans. But then, his forever parent came along and adopted him.

Cherry Blossom

Cherry BlossomAs The Beatles sang, “All you need is love” — this doggo is a true testament to that. The semi-professional photography definitely helps but even so, this guy looks like he’s living his best life, running wild in the Japanese cherry blossom and loving it.

Georgia

Hands up who’s heard of Pavlov’s Dogs? Well, who’s heard of Maslov’s Hierarchy of Needs? It states that humans have a pyramid of needs, from food and shelter at the bottom, through health and friendship in the middle, to self-respect and becoming the best version of yourself at the top. And Maslov’s Hierarchy of Needs applies just as much to our furry friends.

Georgia

Luckily, someone saved five-year-old Golden Retriever Georgia from a Chinese puppy mill associated with the dog meat trade. Even better, her new owner gave her food, shelter, warmth, and love to become the best version of herself.

Peach and Chubbs

This is Peach and Chubbs. They didn’t find a home for a long time as they were bonded and needed to be adopted together. A lady and her husband always wanted a dog, but when they saw these bundles of canine joy, they ended up with two!

Peach and Chubbs

She wrote, “These pictures are only three-ish months apart. They went from scared and anxious pups to the two happiest dogs I’ve ever met. They are truly the best dogs and complete our little family, and we can’t imagine life without them.”

Chloe Bear

Tiny Chloe Bear was rescued from the pound, where she was so scared she’d shake, rattle and roll like a 1950s rock n’ roll singer. Fast forward one week — yes folks, you read that right, one week — and look at her go! She looks ready, willing, strong, and able enough to take on the world.

Chloe Bear

Yes, Chloe Bear’s been well-fed, sheared, and groomed, and she has a little diamante flower on her collar, but that’s not the reason she looks better. It’s all down to one thing… love.

Simba

This first photo is just heartbreaking. It proves that dogs have souls and need just as much love and affection as we humans. Without it, they become depressed, lose their boundless energy and sense of identity, and often give up. Seriously, who could do this to a man’s best friend?

Simba

But, there’s good news. After this handsome doggo was adopted from the pound, he reclaimed so much self-esteem, ego, pride, and dignity that he looks more like Simba from The Lion King standing on Pride Rock, surveying his kingdom.

Wynter

Wynter’s tale is a great rags-to-riches story. She was fending for herself, living on the streets, underfed, underweight, and underappreciated — until her hero and guardian angel saved her. A lady who rescues dogs found her wandering along a country road and paid for all her injections.

Wynter

With love and care, she grew into a fine Malamute/German Shepherd mix… with a little bit of Swiss Shepherd. When the temperature drops, Wynter loves playing in the snow.

Ripley

Ripley is an apt name for this adorable dog because, just like the heroine of the Alien franchise, she’s been through hell. She was rescued from the muddy streets of Iran, where she had to fight packs of roaming dogs. But then she was rescued and brought back to the United States, where she looks insanely happy taking a bath.

Ripley

While some of these dogs have been rescued from other countries, we must point out that some dogs in foreign countries are well looked after, and some woofers in the USA live on the streets.

Hank

Everybody, this is Hank. Hank, this is everybody. What do you mean you’re too excited to meet so many people? You’re always excitable, Hank! Sadly, he was badly mistreated and left with many scars. His puphood trauma caused him to be incredibly withdrawn and timid.

Hank

His new owner wrote, “The local humane society didn’t know what his story was because he was found as a stray at only four months old, but now he’s four, has a family, and a best friend (me).” We’re not meant to have favorites, but this is our fave photo.

Happiness

Can you believe this poor dog was left to perish in a park? Luckily, someone who actually had a heart and soul found her and rescued her. We don’t know her name, so we’re calling her Happiness. Her new mom nursed her back to health and later had a message for the cruel misfit who abandoned her.

Happiness

They posted online, “To the person who left her in a park… two years ago… look at her now! With your horrible neglect came a whole lot of happiness.”

Scarlett

This sweet girl was in the pound but thankfully was rescued from being put to sleep because she had a minor skin condition. Her name is Scarlett, and if you look closely, you can actually see she’s crying in the first photo.

Scarlett

Now, Scarlett regularly quotes Scarlett O’Hara from Gone With the Wind, “As God is my witness, as God is my witness they’re not going to lick me. I’m going to live through this, and when it’s all over, I’ll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk.”

Lucky

Luckily, someone fell in love and saw the potential in this tiny pup. He was rescued from the pound looking well… like a lost puppy. He was adopted, cared for, and groomed, and now he looks like he’s the king of the world.

Lucky

Just a few months after his adoption, here’s the little fella romping around in his happy place. Lucky’s enjoying life so much that he actually looks like he’s laughing. Can dogs laugh? We need answers, please.

Kasper

This loveable little ball of fluff is Kasper. Sadly, he was one of the millions of dogs around the world who grew up in a dog shelter, relying on rescue workers and charity. But, then someone from England adopted him.

Kasper

He traveled all the way from Romania to the UK and look at the difference. He’s even got his own bow tie! His owner posted online that Kasper “has yet to integrate and learn the language. Very good boy nonetheless.”

Annie

We like to think that Annie was named after Annie the Musical, which was named after the comic strip Little Orphan Annie. Even before she was at the pound, she learned “it’s a hard knock life” and while she was waiting for her savior, she must have thought, “Tomorrrow, Tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, You’re always a day away…”

Annie

But her guardian angels did show up, and you’ll be surprised to hear that these two photos were taken just one week apart.

Rey

Poor little Rey was just one day away from being put to sleep in Los Angeles. But, then a compassionate Los Angelino plucked her up in their loving arms and gave her a forever home. And look at how happy she is now! It’s no wonder Los Angeles is named the City of Angels because Rey’s new parent is a real-life angel.

Rey

We’re guessing that she was named Rey after the Star Wars character, even though she looks more like Chewbacca or maybe an Ewok!

Charlie

Charlie is a Pitbull that was rescued and then went viral. His new owner’s sister posted on Twitter, “My sister adopted her very first dog, and his before and after pics have me crying.”

Charlie

We don’t know if she was crying at his plight in the shelter or whether she was crying with laughter at the sight of a tough Pitbull wearing flowers in his hair! Nowadays, Charlie loves playing fetch on the beach with a tennis ball and being an internet sensation. He even signs autographs!

Good Boy

This good boy was literally begging for someone to rescue him from the shelter. And how could anyone resist those big brown eyes? They’re almost saying, “Pleeeeeease take me home with you. I’ll be your best fwiend forever and ever and ever.”

Good Boy

Cut to a few months later, and this good boy is enjoying a car ride on his way to his favorite destination for walkies! With his tongue lolling, this good boy just wants to say thank you to all the animal lovers out there for making his life, all our featured doggos’ lives, and the world a better place.

With the Help of A.I., We Turned These 45 Celebrities Into Barbies, and the Results Are Accurate

Using A.I., We Turned Celebrities Into Barbies

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie recently premiered, and over the last few months, there’s been a lot of excitement building up around the movie. The movie has a stacked cast with celebrities like Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and others. A design artist wondered what some celebrities we know would like as literal Barbie dolls and got to work. Check out what some of your favorite celebrities look like when generative A.I. turned them into a Barbie doll.

Michelle Yeoh

We’re used to seeing Michelle Yeoh comport herself with poise and grace, but this seems to be on another level. This Barbie not only looks like the actress but also seems to exude her elegance and class.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

She’s wearing a long-sleeved, pink top with a plunging neckline and intricate designs covering most of the front bodice. We can’t help but be amazed at how great her hair looks. It’s absolutely stunning!

Cardi B

Cardi B is a well-known rapper, and many will agree she’s a beautiful one. Her Barbie doll looks stunning, too. We have to admit that the resemblance is almost uncanny. The doll looks almost exactly like the rapper, and we’re blown away!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The doll is wearing a beautiful gray gown with an amazing design. Her necklaces are layered, and we can see a ruby peeking out. Her earrings are also beautiful. Yes! This Barbie has got style, just like Cardi B! We can safely say this Barbie is an accurate representation.

Beyoncé

All we can say is we’re not struggling to see the resemblance between Queen Bey and this Barbie doll. When you look at the hair, you can see it, but then when you focus on the face, you can really see the resemblance. If you ask us, this Barbie looks quite a lot like Tyra Banks too, so it depends on who you ask.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

This Barbie may not look exactly like Beyoncé, but it’s not too far off and she’s just as beautiful as Queen B. Everything about the doll is stunning, from her hair to her stone-studded gown and beautiful accessories.

Chris Evans

Known for his charismatic performances in superhero movies, especially Captain America, Chris Evans is a respected and well-loved actor who’s been in the industry for decades. We bet no one ever thought about his appearance as a Barbie (Ken?) doll.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

This doll has Captain America’s build and hair, but we think that’s all the resemblance there is. The doll is wearing a blue jacket layered over a white shirt with the logo of Captain America’s shield boldly printed on it. We think the glasses add a nice touch to the entire look.

Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton as a Barbie doll? Yes! The country music and pop music star has been in the industry for decades and has many fans worldwide. Thanks to A.I., we now know what Dolly Parton would look like as a Barbie doll. Nailed it!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

We think the hair is just right, and looking at the facial features, we can see some resemblance between the doll and the singer. We particularly love the bead theme going on in her entirely pink look.

Viola Davis

We know a strong, powerful Barbie doll when we see one, and this doll checks all the boxes! It’s all in the eyes and the posture. This Barbie looks like she can single-handedly take on the world, and we love to see it!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

This Barbie is supposed to be what Viola Davis would look like as a Barbie doll, and we can see what A.I. was going for. We see the hair and think of Viola Davis. While the face isn’t exactly right, it’s close enough that we can draw a parallel.

Tom Holland

Tom Holland is one of the most popular actors of his generation and has starred in many movies, such as Uncharted and Spider-Man. We’ve seen him in different roles and forms, but never as a Barbie doll.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

As a Barbie doll, Tom doesn’t look exactly like Tom, but we’re pretty convinced. The hair is similar and the baby face is definitely his. We love his outfit consisting of black pants and a pink undershirt. Not too shabby!

Kim Kardashian

Here’s another Barbie doll who looks as if she’s off to conquer the world! Kim Kardashian is a businesswoman, media personality, socialite, model, and actress with an impressive fan base. As a Barbie doll, Kim K looks stunning in her all-pink outfit.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The outfit consists of a dusty pink tube top with a matching jacket layered over it, paired with matching pants. The only accessory in sight is her hot pink bag. Does the Barbie doll look like Kim K herself? We’ll leave that for you to decide.

Selena Gomez

We’ve gotten used to seeing Selena Gomez in different stunning outfits and generally looking beautiful. This Barbie doll seems to stay true to her character, as the doll looks incredibly stunning, too.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Dressed in shades of pink, the Barbie doll is a beautiful one that looks very much like a princess. Just like Selena, the hair looks great, and the accessories add a nice touch. We can certainly see the resemblance between this doll and Selena Gomez.

Harry Styles

Now, this resemblance is uncanny! Tell us you can also see how much this Barbie doll resembles singer and actor Harry Styles. We have to say the Harry Styles Barbie looks super cool! Pink has never looked better on a male doll. In fact, we’d love to see the real Harry wear this outfit.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

We love everything about the outfit, from the white shirt to the flowery vest and pink jacket. The hair looks so well-groomed, and the vibe from the entire look is one of power and confidence. They should put this doll into production immediately!

Olivia Rodrigo

Here’s another Barbie doll that looks incredibly beautiful. According to the artist who designed this using A.I., this doll is what Olivia Rodrigo would like as a Barbie doll. Is Olivia Rodrigo beautiful? Yes. Is the doll beautiful? Yes. Does the doll look like Olivia Rodrigo? Definitely!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Once again, we can easily see the resemblance between a Barbie doll and the celebrity it’s supposed to look like. Also, just look at that gown. Don’t you think it’s gorgeous? We know we do!

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

It’s good to see that Dwayne Johnson looks very much like “The Rock,” even as a Barbie doll. The resemblance is very easy to see. However, something seems weird about this doll. It’s the hair!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Anyone who’s seen The Rock in the last decade knows his head is clean-shaven. We haven’t seen Dwayne Johnson with hair on his head in years. Seeing his Barbie doll with hair seems weird. He looks good, though, and this Barbie is believably Dwayne Johnson.

Keke Palmer

Well known for her role in Akeelah and the Bee, Keke Palmer is a singer and actress respected for her talent and versatility. It’s quite exciting to see Keke Palmer as a Barbie doll, and this Barbie doll bears a close resemblance to the actress.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The doll looks lovely, and that black gown looks simple and beautiful. We love the simple accessory she’s wearing and the general vibe we’re getting from this doll. We love that the Keke Palmer doll even has a similar facial expression to the actress.

Florence Pugh

Here’s another Barbie doll that somehow looks exactly like the actress she’s designed after. Florence Pugh is an actress who’s been nominated for many awards. You may remember her as Amy March in Little Women.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Although the doll bears some resemblance to the actress, we do have to wonder if A.I. couldn’t have included a few extra features that would make it more Florence-y. That said, we can’t help but admire her pink ball gown. Her outfit doesn’t include any accessories aside from earrings, but the look seems perfect.

Taylor Swift

If there was an award for the Barbie doll that has the least resemblance to the celebrity they’re designed after, it’s safe to say this Barbie doll would take the award. We’ve seen Taylor Swift. We’ve watched her sing and perform for many years, and her face is one we’ll always recognize.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

This Barbie doll looks stunning and incredible, but the face isn’t completely Taylor Swift’s. We really wish it was, though. Seeing a Barbie doll that looks like the pop star would’ve been cool.

Zendaya

This Zendaya Barbie is an absolute hit! The resemblance between the actress and this doll is deeply striking. Just look at that face! Kudos to the designer! We almost can’t see a difference between the doll and the real Zendaya.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

This Barbie looks great, but we think the waist seems unrealistic. The doll’s waist looks unrealistically thin, but that’s the concept of Barbie, right? So far, other Barbie dolls have had more realistic waistlines, so we’re confused about what’s going on with Zendaya Barbie.

Idris Elba

Do you see the resemblance? We do, too. It seems A.I. got the assignment and understood it because this Barbie doll looks so much like actor and DJ Idris Elba that we’re amazed! We almost can’t believe how much this doll looks like Idris!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Everything seems like a perfect match, from the eyes to the eyebrows and nose. We have to say, the pink vest and jacket look great on him! This is another outfit we’d love to see on the real person.

Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep is often described as the best actress of her generation, and we have to agree with that. She’s well-known for her versatility and accent adaptability and is well-respected in the industry.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

You may not have wondered what Meryl Streep would look like as a Barbie doll, but there you have it. We think there’s a substantial resemblance between the doll and the actress. Meryl Streep Barbie is dressed in a black gown and a beautiful necklace. The black-rimmed glasses are the perfect finishing touch for the look.

Ariana Grande

To be honest, we’re a little confused by this one. Maybe it’s a trick of the light but this doll doesn’t look as much like Ariana as we were hoping. We admit that there’s a solid resemblance between the doll and Ariana Grande. The eyes look slightly similar, and there’s the signature high ponytail, but that’s about it.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

We have no idea why Ariana Grande Barbie seems so much more like a young Demi Lovato. Moving on, we do love her gown, and we can totally picture Ariana Grande wearing a dress like that.

Elton John

Well, well, well, if it isn’t Sir Elton John! We must admit that we see the resemblance between the singer and pianist and the Barbie doll. The doll is dressed in a white shirt, a pink jacket with intricate designs, and pink pants.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The dark sunglasses add to the cool vibe he’s got going on around him. Generally, Elton John Barbie looks like he’s tired of the drama going on around him and can’t wait to get a chance to play his piano. Good job, A.I.!

Rihanna

We must admit that this doll looks a lot like Rihanna, even though something seems off. It has to be the hairline. It’s quite unlike Rihanna’s and seems to alter her look slightly. That said, we can definitely see Rihanna in this doll.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Rihanna Barbie still looks amazing! Her dusty pink gown is cute, and her layered necklace is fire. The hair looks great, too, even though it’s not like Rihanna’s. And the bored eyes look exactly like hers, right?

Billie Eilish

You may not agree, but we think there’s a striking resemblance between Billie Eilish and this Barbie doll. The doll’s facial features look too similar to the singer and songwriter’s to not be her, and we’re pleased to see it.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Billie Eilish Barbie looks super cool in her outfit. She looks like the cool girl who’s silent in class but will speak up in the face of injustice. While her face shape looks a little different, we can see the resemblance enough not to worry about it.

Sabrina Carpenter

We’re excited to announce that we have another hit! This stunning Barbie doll has an almost uncanny resemblance to singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter. We just can’t get over how much this doll looks like Sabrina!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

It’s all in the eyes. The more you look at those eyes, the more you see how striking the resemblance is. Sabrina Carpenter Barbie is dressed in a cute pink top and black jacket, looking incredibly cool. Wow!

Jung Kook

You can already tell that this is a bit of a miss. Sorry, but this doll is a disappointing one. It’s almost as if no effort was put into ensuring the Barbie doll looks like Jung Kook. We know what Jung Kook looks like, and this Barbie doll isn’t it. To be honest, this doll would be more believable as singer and actor Troye Sivan.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Jung Kook is the main vocalist and lead dancer of the famous K-pop group BTS, and we’re sure fans would be devastated that his Barbie doll turned out this way. There are a few features that allow us to see where the A.I. was trying to go, but we aren’t convinced.

Oprah

When you’re as respected and successful as Oprah Winfrey, smiling comes easily to you. It’s no wonder Oprah Barbie is giving us the widest smile we’ve seen so far. Plus, being made into a Barbie doll that looks just like you must be an honor for Oprah.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The talk show host, actress, TV producer, and author has made a name for herself in the industry, and we’re glad to see a Barbie doll that looks just like her. Oprah Barbie is dressed in a beautiful long-sleeved dress. Her accessories include a pair of statement earrings and a beautiful necklace.

Pedro Pascal

We think we can all agree that this is a big hit! Who would’ve thought that Pedro Pascal could look so good as a Barbie doll?! We love the attention paid to details while designing this Barbie doll. The hair, mustache, and eyebrows are just right.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Pedro Pascal Barbie looks great in his pink shirt and black pants. He seems like someone ready to work. It’s a pity we don’t have any work here for him. But if we think of something, we know who we’ll be calling!

Jennifer Lawrence

We cannot get over this Jennifer Lawrence Barbie! Just look at this doll, the resemblance is absolutely uncanny! The design artist went all out for this one and showed us that they understood the assignment.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Jennifer Lawrence Barbie looks as gorgeous as the actress, and her pink gown looks beautiful too. We love how artfully her hair is styled, and we think the accessories are perfect. This is one Barbie we’d definitely collect!

Blake Lively

When you’re a seemingly perfect human, like Blake Lively is, it follows that one would expect a Blake Lively Barbie doll to be perfect, too. Unfortunately, this doll is far from perfect, as we’re struggling to connect her looks with the actress. The face shape is much too angular to be Blake, but we do still see some similarities.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

We have to say – what stunning hair, though! Besides having great hair, the doll is dressed in a lovely pink gown paired with beautiful earrings. This would’ve been a great sight if the doll looked more like Blake Lively.

Guy Fieri

Guy Fieri is a restaurateur, author, and Emmy Award-winning TV presenter. He’s easily recognizable by his signature spiky bleached-blond hair. So, say whatever you will about Guy Fieri Barbie; at least he’s sporting that signature hairstyle.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Although the hairstyle and mustache are Guy Fieri’s, we struggle to see the resemblance in other features. However, we love how the Barbie doll stays true to Guy Fieri’s art. We wonder if what he’s cooking tastes as good as it looks.

Chris Hemsworth

Everyone knows Chris Hemsworth is muscular and ripped, and maybe that comes with the job description of being Thor. However, there are significant differences between this Barbie’s figure and the actor’s body.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Aside from the differences in their build, we think both share the same facial features and look incredibly similar. The blond hair looks familiar, too. Hmmm, we’re a little on the fence with this one, but we think it looks close enough to call it a win.

Timothée Chalamet

Timothée Chalamet is an actor that’s graced our screens in recent years. Many of us can easily recognize him. Like us, you may see the resemblance between the actor and his Barbie doll.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The resemblance isn’t deeply striking, but it’s there all the same. Also, is it just us, or does Timothée Chalamet Barbie look a bit like Alfredo Linguini from Ratatouille? We love it!

Lana Condor

Lana Condor, in real life and as a Barbie doll, looks gorgeous! But seeing her as a Barbie, we hardly have the words to describe how magnificent her hair is and the beauty of that gown. Perfection! Lana is an actress who starred in the To All the Boys franchise.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Lana Barbie seems to be a bit off, but the resemblance can be seen all the same. We still can’t get over how great Lana Condor Barbie looks, and we only wish we looked that good if we were turned into our very own Barbie doll.

Sandra Oh

We’re yet to decide if this is a hit or miss, so we’ll leave that to you. However, we can’t deny that there’s a slight resemblance between Sandra Oh and her Barbie version. Maybe if we squint we can see a better resemblance.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Sandra Oh Barbie looks amazing, with her hair, makeup, and outfit all adding up. The doll is dressed in a pink gown with ruffles on the lower half. Her hair looks beautifully styled, and her earrings are the perfect finishing touch.

Dua Lipa

We’re not quite sure where we land on this one. Dua Lipa Barbie doesn’t look that much like the Dua Lipa we know, but she still looks amazing. We can’t be sure if that’s a gown or a top, but it looks incredible! We’re definitely getting more Nelly Furtado vibes from this doll than Dua Lipa.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

That necklace is one for the books! Look how gorgeous it looks resting on her neck! And, of course, we love the statement earrings she’s wearing. The facial features may be a bit of a hit-and-miss, but this look is definitely a hit.

Emma Stone

We love Emma Stone and think she’s an incredibly talented and beautiful actress. However, if we could buy this Emma Stone Barbie, we’d probably pass up on that option. What on earth happened with this A.I. tool?

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The design artist did Emma Stone dirty! The Barbie doll looks like something that’d come alive and terrify you if you made the mistake of putting it in your room. She has nice hair, though. But that’s as far as the similarities go.

Phoebe Bridgers

Phoebe Bridgers is a singer-songwriter with four Grammy Awards nominations. The singer is not only talented but also beautiful. Phoebe Bridgers Barbie looks like she knows how to handle that guitar, much like how the singer is adept at playing one.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

However, we can’t see that much of a resemblance between the Barbie doll and the singer. It’s almost as if no effort was made toward making the doll look like the singer! Giving her blonde hair and a guitar doesn’t cut the mustard, unfortunately.

Oscar Isaac

Oscar Isaac is an actor well-recognized for his versatility. His Barbie doll’s resemblance to him is uncanny, and we’re pleased to see it! Just look at that jawline and those smoldering eyes. Wow!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The doll looks cool, dressed in a gray shirt, black pants, and a pink jacket. It’s safe to say that pink is his color. The doll has an intense gaze which is very much like Oscar Isaac’s. This one gets a big thumbs-up from us!

Gigi Hadid

It seems the Hadid sisters share more in common than just a last name and profession. Both sisters have been made into Barbie dolls. This Barbie doll looks absolutely gorgeous, just like her namesake.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The doll looks like the model, and that’s a relief! The resemblance isn’t great, but it’s there. We can’t get over that pink and black gown, which looks incredible on her! The necklace is all that’s needed to complete the look, and it looks amazing.

Ryan Reynolds

Is it just us, or does Ryan Reynolds Barbie look like G.I. Joe? It’s almost amazing how the Barbie doll can look so much like the actor, yet look so different. The muscles are throwing us off a bit, but the face is spot on.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

There’s no denying there’s a substantial resemblance, and this Barbie doll looks really good. Ryan Reynolds Barbie seems to love working out, and we love that for him. Maybe real-life Ryan will follow suit? We wouldn’t be mad if he did.

Priyanka Chopra

It’s just great to see a Barbie doll that looks like the celebrity she’s supposed to be. This Barbie doll was designed to look like Priyanka Chopra, and we’re elated to see that the resemblance is striking! Now, we know what the actress looks like as a Barbie doll!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

As usual, Priyanka Chopra looks amazing, and her doll gives us all the right vibes. Everything about the doll is a hit, from the hair to the outfit and accessories. The design artist did a great job on this one!

Aubrey Plaza

There’s something about deadpanned, sarcastic Aubrey Plaza and bubbly, happy-go-lucky Barbie that simply don’t mesh. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re all well aware the Indie movie queen would never be caught dead in a Barbie-esque film.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Or perhaps it’s the pink outfit that, although beautiful, looks out of place on perpetually moody Plaza. Sorry, but this Barbie and Aubrey combination just isn’t working. Perhaps AI should make a Tim Burton movie version of Aubrey Plaza instead.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears and Barbie actually share more in common than you may think. Sure, they’re both bubbly and fun, they both like to wear pink, and both have blonde hair, okay… they actually have tons in common.

Midjourney

But, the similarity we’re talking about is the fact that they’ve both been made into dolls! Long before AI made this image of Britney Barbie, the pop star was turned into a hugely popular doll all on her own!

Channing Tatum

When it was first announced that Hollywood had a Barbie movie in the works, fans petitioned for Channing Tatum to play Ken. Although the role went to Ryan Gosling, we have to admit that Tatum would’ve been a perfect choice.

Midjourney

Perhaps producers didn’t like the idea because the actor has already played a doll on screen. Yes, Tatum famously played G.I. Joe, so maybe it’d be a little much for him to nab the role of Ken too.

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears were the pop icons of the late ‘90s and early 2000s, but they had vastly different fanbases. Spears was the good girl, and Aguilera was the more grunge, “Dirrty” version of a pop princess.

Midjourney

While Christina Barbie looks absolutely fantastic and is a dead ringer for the singer, we can’t help but think that Britney is a better fit for the whole Barbie image. In fact, something tells us that seeing herself turned into a Barbie would make Aguilera seriously resonate with her “Reflection” lyrics.

Daniel Kaluuya

Daniel Kaluuya has a little-known connection to Barbie. After the huge success of the Barbie movie, Mattel decided to create films about all their famous toys. So, there will soon be a Barney movie produced by none other than… Daniel Kaluuya!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

It’s still unclear whether or not the actor will star in the film, but we hope not. It’d be a little jarring to see the star of harrowing productions like Get Out and Black Mirror play a happy, singing, purple dinosaur.

Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen Barbie looks exactly like the actress herself! From the long, wavy hair to the chic, black outfit, this Barbie is styled just like Olsen. Of course, this also gives us a pretty good idea of what the Barbie versions of Elizabeth’s sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley would look like.

Midjourney

The only thing that’s a bit off here is the lips. It almost looks as if Olsen had tried out the Kardashian look before going through the Barbification process.

Issa Rae

AI had to be extra careful not to drop the ball on this one, given the fact that Issa Rae stars in the Barbie movie, so we’re able to make a direct comparison. We have to say that AI-generated Issa Barbie and the Hollywood version of Issa Barbie are pretty much interchangeable!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

This doll looks exactly like the actress does in the film. In order to sum up our feelings about this Barbie, we’re going to quote Rae herself — “Everyone in Barbie Land is a perfect Barbie.”

Emma Watson

Given the epic fail that was the Emma Watson Barbie sold in stores, AI would’ve been successful with pretty much anything it did here. Luckily, it did a way better job than actual toy manufacturers!

Midjourney

For those who don’t know, when Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson came out, Disney made a version of Barbie that was supposed to look like Watson’s Belle. Sadly, the doll came out resembling Justin Bieber in a dress. Needless to say, this version is a whole lot better.

Jennifer Coolidge

Jennifer Barbie doesn’t only resemble the actress to a T, but it also perfectly personifies Coolidge’s public image. Of course, Jennifer Coolidge would lounge around, looking all classy, wearing a pink gown, along with expensive gaudy jewelry, holding a beverage in each hand.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

We truly wouldn’t expect her any other way! In fact, we’d be downright insulted on Coolidge’s behalf if this Barbie looked any different. Can we please petition to get this one in stores?!

Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Barbie looks like she’s on top of her game, which perfectly encapsulates the actress’s childhood experience with the doll. According to Curtis, she was more interested in making sure Barbie’s accessories were organized than playing pretend with the doll itself.

Midjourney

The actress has said, “I loved hanging the outfits on the hangers, putting the shoes in the pullout drawers, and putting everything in order of color.” Well, we’re sure this Barbie has tons of stylish, professional clothes for Curtis to organize!

Jonah Hill

We should probably name this doll 2007 Jonah Barbie, as Jonah Hill looks significantly different these days. Of course, if we’re judging from his Superbad or 21 Jump Street era, this Barbie looks exactly like Jonah!

Midjourney

It’s even got his style down pat, although we’re not sure that a non-Barbified Hill would wear pink. Either way, this doll looks seriously ready to team up with Barbie Channing Tatum or Barbie Michael Cera for some crazy shenanigans!

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan must be feeling a big Freaky Fridayish looking at this Barbie doll, as she’s essentially switched places with her Life-Size co-star Tyra Banks. In that movie, Lohan’s character accidentally turns her Eve doll (played by Banks) into a real person.

Midjourney

Well, now it’s Lindsay’s turn to be dollified! It seems like, after all these years, the actress’s journey has come full circle. Now, all we need is for Tyra Banks to step in and purchase this doll!

Michael B. Jordan

This doll looks exactly like Michael B. Jordan himself! From the stylish ensemble to the intense stare, this Barbie looks ready to star in any action film. Is it weird that we’re more than just a little intimidated by a Barbie doll?

Midjourney

We just recommend not letting Tiffany Haddish get her hands on Barbie Michael, seeing as how the comedian has confessed to being obsessed with the actor. Who knows? Maybe in Barbie Land, the two could finally be a couple?

Mindy Kaling

We’re not so sure this Barbie looks exactly like Mindy Kaling, although it’s a pretty close call. If the nose were tweaked just a bit, we think this doll might be a dead-ringer for the actress. To be fair to AI, though, we’re still wrapping our heads around Kaling’s new look.

Midjourney

The star has had quite the makeover recently and, in our heads, she’s still styled as she was in The Mindy Project. Give us time, AI, just give us time.

Stanley Tucci

AI was destined to either succeed on an epic level or miss the ball completely, as Stanley Tucci has an extremely distinct look. We’re happy to say that the former occurred, as Stanley Barbie is absolutely perfect and could easily replace the actor in any film!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

From the intense facial expression to the iconic glasses, this doll perfectly encapsulates Tucci’s vibe. Now, all that’s left is to create a doll that can emote on Stanley’s level too.

Adele

We have one word for this doll – gorgeous! And we’re sure you agree with us. Adele is a singer-songwriter known for her powerful vocals and songwriting skills. Turning her into a Barbie doll seems nice, and we’re glad to see that this doll truly looks like her.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Adele Barbie looks like she means business, and we’re here for it! Her gown is a beautiful one, and her hair is amazing. Is this a doll we’d collect? Definitely!

Janelle Monáe

Isn’t it amazing how much this Barbie doll closely resembles Janelle Monáe? It’s uncanny! The singer/rapper/actress has several Grammy nominations, and her talent is undisputed.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

Janelle Monáe Barbie looks just as lovely as the singer, and we dig her outfit. We particularly love the hat she added to the look. Kudos to the A.I. creator for getting this one so right!

Margot Robbie

It seems only fitting that Margot Robbie herself, the star of the Barbie movie, be turned into a Barbie doll. We know and love the actress and producer for her work in both blockbusters and independent films alike.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

She’s received many nominations and awards, and rightly so! We love seeing that her Barbie doll looks just like her. The doll is beautiful, dressed in that pink gown and statement necklace. And the hair is just perfect!

Bella Hadid

Being a model, Bella Hadid has stayed on top of the fashion game and has consistently given us incredible looks over the years. Named Model of the Year in 2022 by the British Fashion Council, Bella is known to slay. So, it only makes sense that Bella Hadid Barbie also slays!

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

The resemblance is certainly there, but let’s briefly focus on her outfit. Stunning, right?! The outfit is a beautifully designed gown cut in strategic places. Her accessories, though minimal, are perfect for this look. Bella Hadid Barbie is definitely a hit!

Mariska Hargitay

We think it’s safe to say that this Barbie doll is spot on! Mariska Hargitay is an actress popularly known for her role as Olivia Benson in the long-running TV show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Yahoo // Angelica Martinez

It’s incredible how much Mariska Hargitay Barbie looks like the actress. The doll is giving boss lady vibes, and we love it! We’re not sure how A.I. did it, but they nailed this doll to a T!
