Zara Phillips wins Barbie vote
Oct 4, 2005, 12:43 GMT
Zara Phillips has been voted as the new face of Barbie.
The British royal topped a poll by doll makers Mattel to find the female celebrity who shares the same characteristics as their new Princess Annika Barbie doll.
According to the 1,000 girls under the age of 12 that were surveyed by the company, Zara - whose mother is Princess Anne - has the right combination of style, beauty, independence and sporting success.
The blonde horse-riding champ won an impressive 69 per cent of the vote - beating busty glamour model Jordan, who recently looked like a Barbie doll in a glittering pink dress at her fairytale wedding to Peter Andre.
A Mattel spokesperson said: "We thought Jordan would romp home."
Zara, who is dating rugby ace Mile Tindall, is currently hoping to win a place on the British equestrian team at the 2008 Olympics.
