Description

Barbie did not celebrate 45 years by quietly cutting a cake. She called Bob Mackie. The result is this spectacular Collector Edition doll dressed in a shimmering black evening gown with an enormous black-and-white embroidered swirl sweeping around her like wearable sculpture. The design pays tribute to Barbie’s famous 1959 black-and-white striped swimsuit while turning the nostalgia dial all the way to couture. Platinum-blonde hair, dramatic makeup, long gloves and sparkling earrings finish a look that could comfortably command its own red carpet. This is Mattel B3452, a fabulous crossover collectible for Barbie devotees, Bob Mackie collectors and anyone who believes an anniversary deserves considerably more drama than balloons from the grocery store.
