Critics Say Kylie Jenner’s Bratz Dolls’ Complexion Doesn’t Match Her Actual Skin Tone

Some people are not happy with Kylie Jenner’s new Bratz collection. 

Hours after the capsule launched on Tuesday, August 1, critics took to Twitter to call out the skin complexion of the toys — which were supposed to be made to look like Jenner, 25. “Those Kylie Bratz looking a lil dark don’t they?” one social media user tweeted as a different critic wrote, “Kylie is not that damn dark and those features aren’t hers idk.” A third tweet read, “It frustrates me because we already have an issue with colorism and @Bratz made Kylie dark asf. That’s just so wrong.” 

“@Bratz ur new Kylie collection is entirely too dark for it to be a representation of her. She is a white woman. Pls fix that immediately,” an additional message stated. 

Other critics praised Jenner for giving “Bratz energy” in real-life but suggested that the skin tones are more “Stormi’s shade,” in reference to Jenner’s 5-year-old daughter with rapper Travis Scott. 

Perhaps the Mini Bratz x Kylie Collectibles aimed to reflect Jenner’s appearance when she wore the outfits the toys are seen in. One doll wears a replica of the figure-hugging Versace gown Jenner sported at the 2019 Met Gala. That evening, Jenner had a bronze glow on the red carpet. (The reality star has been candid about her love of self-tanners. She’s been known to use Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam, which retails for only $24 on Amazon.) 

A different doll, meanwhile, pays homage to the Off-White wedding dress and veiled baseball cap Jenner wore at the 2022 Met Gala, which was designed by the late Virgil Abloh.

A third toy dazzles in the skintight black corset dress by Mugler — as well as the sparkly headpiece — Jenner wore at the opening of the Mugler Couturissime Exhibition opening in
