I was pondering some theories about the next Girl of the Year for 2024, who is rumored to be named Lila Monetti, and while I was thinking, a theory just popped into my mind.
During the Mattel Toy Fair presentation back in March, this logo was shown for Girl of the Year 2024:
I have seen online speculation that this symbol could possibly signify a red-haired doll, but I didn't really take that into consideration. However, I just thought of something that could mean we were getting a red-haired doll:
The first truly red-haired Girl of the Year, Mia, was in 2008.
Then, five years later, in 2013, Saige, the second red-haired Girl of the Year, was released.
Then, six years later, in 2019, Blaire, the third red-haired Girl of the Year, was released.
2024 will mark five years since Blaire. So this could possibly mean that Girl of the Year 2024, Lila, will have red hair.
Here's an updated Create Your Own doll I made of Lila:
What do you all think?
I’m thinking strawberry blonde or red with pink and red highlights like in this “braid”— and that she’ll be in at least one braid.
I think her story will take place on a Ranch.
I think she will be a pants Girl.
but Maryellen does have entirely red hair, because Welliewishers Willa has Strawberry blonde hair.
I don't think they'll be a brunette because the last 2 have had dark hair as well as last years limited christmas doll and soldier dolls. I just don't think it will sell well meanwhile no red haired characters are available, marryellen isn't entirely red hair in my opinion it's strawberry blonde.
