Celebrities Who Got to be Barbie Dolls
Everybody loves a good Barbie concept. From astronaut, to surfer, to stylist, Mattel is always busy showing Barbie’s many sides. But there is a side of Barbie with some familiar faces that you already love but might not be aware of their existence: the Barbie dolls inspired by celebrities.
Mattel is always keeping up to date with different trends, fashion, and pop culture references, and let’s be real, celebrities are a big part of all 3, so it is only natural that Mattel decided to create some dolls inspired by many Hollywood stars. But who are the lucky ones?
Marilyn Monroe
The blonde bombshell is still perhaps one of the most mentioned celebrities. Even after her death, Marilyn keeps gaining fans and is still remembered for her acting, fashion, and glamorous looks. No wonder Mattel has been inspired by Marilyn Monroe on multiple occasions. One of her most famous dolls is, of course, the Marilyn in The Seven Year Itch, better known as the movie where Monroe wore her famous white dress.
Another fan favorite Marilyn doll is Barbie Timeless Treasures Collector Edition, better known as the "Happy Birthday Mr. President Barbie".
Cher
Throughout all of her years in the public eye, the singer has given us many unique and extravagant looks. For many of them, Cher chose the designer, Bob Mackie, so it is only natural that one of Chair’s best dolls is inspired by a Bob Mackie design. This beautiful doll exudes Cher left and right; no wonder she’s one of Cher’s most sought after Barbies.
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor might have been a big star in the 50’s Hollywood cinema, but her fashion is timeless. The golden-age actress has inspired Mattel dolls multiple times, such as her Cleopatra doll from her 1963 movie and her Father of the Bride Barbie doll.
Grace Kelly
Having mentioned Hollywood’s Golden Age actresses Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, there’s no way we can forget about former actress and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly was known for her sophisticated and feminine fashion. Luckily for us Barbie lovers, her Barbies have some of Kelly’s best looks. We have the elegant Grace Kelly Rear Window Collector Doll Pink Label Barbie, the beautiful in blue To Catch a Thief Barbie doll, and for all those fans who love Kelly’s era as Princess of Monaco, there is the Grace Kelly The Bride Doll Gold Label Silkstone Body.
Diana Ross
For all the Supreme fans out there, there is a gorgeous Diana Ross Barbie doll waiting for you: the Diana Ross Barbie Doll by Bob Mackie.
Mackie sure knows how to dress a star, and this white dress is perhaps one of the 70s most breathtaking looks.
There are many other celebrities that got Barbie dolls. Among them are Queen B ‘Beyonce’, Colombian pop star Shakira, Rock & Roll God Elvis Presley, Country music treasure Reba McEntire, and R&B musician Brandy.
