Barbie Forteza blushed in pink as she dressed up as the iconic Barbie doll in a recent photo shoot for her 26th birthday celebration.
The actress struck poses in a pink life-size Barbie box while donning a hot pink body-hugging mini dress, as seen in a series of photos on her Instagram page on Monday, July 31. The shoot’s set design also included pastel and metallic balloons in different shades of pink, as well as sparkly party curtains.
In a separate set of photos, Forteza served looks in a colorful shimmering mini-dress paired with hot pink thigh-high boots.
“This Barbie has her cake and eats it too,” she said in the caption.
A closer look at Forteza’s ensembles was shown by photography studio Nice Print Photography via its Instagram page.
Meanwhile, Forteza gave a glimpse of her intimate birthday meal with her parents and her boyfriend, actor Jak Roberto, through a separate Instagram post.
“Genuinely happy at 26th,” she wrote.
Forteza was showered with birthday greetings by fellow celebrities including Chynna Ortaleza, Jean Garcia, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Shaira Diaz and Althea Ablan.

Forteza earlier made headlines after she had a solo walk on the GMA Gala 2023 red carpet and went against prior expectations that she would be bringing a date with her.
Roberto, the actress’ boyfriend of six years, later clarified that he and Forteza opted not to walk the red carpet together to put the spotlight on the designer who made their respective attires. /ra
