Our take on the Raquel 18-inch Doll & Journal (Girl of the Year 2026)

Raquel Reyes is American Girl's 2026 Girl of the Year: an 18-inch doll with open-and-close brown eyes, dark-brown hair in a front ponytail with a gingham bow, a soft cotton body and vinyl head and limbs. She comes dressed in a pink-and-plum gingham top with puff sleeves and purple bows, a gathered gingham skirt, a bow hair tie, a gold bow cuff, pink platform shoes and underwear, plus the illustrated paperback The Diary of Raquel Reyes. The outfit nods to Samantha Parkington's look, which ties the doll to American Girl's historical line. It suits kids who want a modern character with a story and a rescue pup, and collectors who follow the Girl of the Year releases; the matching girls' outfit is sold separately.

About the Raquel 18-inch Doll & Journal (Girl of the Year 2026)

Raquel Reyes is the 2026 Girl of the Year from American Girl. She is an 18-inch doll with brown eyes that open and close and dark-brown hair styled in a front ponytail with a gingham bow. Her body is soft cotton, and her movable head and limbs are smooth vinyl.

Raquel's character loves DJing, taste-testing paletas at her family's shop in Kansas City, and spending time with her rescue pup, Luzita. In her story, she travels to the East Coast for a family reunion and wedding and finds her great-great-grandmother's diary.

Her outfit is inspired by her great-great-grandmother Samantha Parkington's look. It includes a pink-and-plum gingham-print top with a ruched front, puff sleeves with attached purple bows and a ruffled bottom hem. A gingham-print full skirt with gathers at the waist and a matching hair tie with a gingham-print fabric bow complete the look.
