As if Barbie did not already have the most annoyingly perfect life, she also gets dressed up by the world’s top fashion designers. With custom created outfits. AND accessories. Lucky girl doll.
Each of these Barbie dolls are serious limited edition and go for thousands of dollars on auction sites. Which, thankfully, puts them beyond the reach of little girls who really don’t need any more self-esteem-destroying fantasies than we already feed them. That’s why I don’t like Barbie. But as a pure visual feast, these designer-dressed dolls are gorgeous. Now if they only came with a bit of honest-to-goodness arm chub and proportions that wouldn’t make a real woman topple over.

Stephen Burrows Pazette Barbie Doll
Stephen Burrows’ (the first African American designer to achieve international acclaim) dresses Barbie in silvery glitter, rhinestones and sequins. The luscious shade of nude plays against her beautifully deep skin tone and black hair. A silvery headpiece, complete with a cascade of white feathers, adds the finishing touch.
Kate Spade Barbie Doll
Reflecting Kate Spade’s personal style, Barbie wears a floral print coat with three-quarter length sleeves, belted at the waist. Beneath the coat is an ivory knit sweater and green shantung cigarette pants. A faux wicker handbag with golden detail is reminiscent of Kate’s handbag designs, specifically the “Venice Basket.” She also carries a “canvas” tote trimmed with faux green leather. The dog perched at the edge of the bag is modeled after Kate’s own pet. A bold beaded necklace and earrings set with faux turquoise accents, oversized sunglasses and green sandals complete the ensemble.
Byron Lars Sugar Barbie Doll
The milliner’s art finds expression in an oversized pagoda hat. A colorful bead completes the hat and inspires the hues and design of the skirt.
Burberry Barbie Doll
A chic and classic tan, double-breasted trenchcoat, lined with signature Burberry plaid, sets the tone for Burberry Barbie. A long sleeve black jersey sweater is a dramatic contrast to the striking Burberry plaid kilt. The coordinating accessories include a matching plaid scarf with red reverse plaid messenger bag and black shoes with spats.
Lilly Pulitzer Barbie and Stacie Doll Set
Paying tribute to Lilly’s bright and colourful designs, Barbie wears a long shift with the perfect, casual-but-chic accessories: sunglasses, purse, scarf and golden hoop earrings. Stacie is adorable in a short shift and kerchief.
Bob Mackie Circus Barbie Doll
Barbie doll’s favorite “ringmaster” of glamorous fashion – Bob Mackie – presents a stylish circus. Inspired by the exciting world beneath the Big Top, this doll wears an elaborately laced coat with extravagant red plumes. Her red boots and top hat are accented with a golden star and she comes seated on a black and golden trapeze swing.
Bob Mackie Brazilian Banana Bonanza Barbie Doll
She’s a glamazon from the Amazon, a Latin bombshell as hot and steamy as Rio. Brazilian Banana Bonanza Barbie wears an exuberant, white-and-lime striped sarong. The dramatic skirt is edged with a bounty of bananas. Her basket headpiece holds fruit and hibiscus blossoms. Lace up platform sandals and colorful earrings and bangles complete her look. The final pièce de résistance is her favourite companion — an exotic feathered friend.
Christian Dior Barbie Doll
Barbie celebrates the 50th anniversary of Dior with an authentic reproduction of the House’s famed New Look silhouette, featuring the narrow shoulders and calf-length full skirts that created an international sensation! Accessorised with a Parisian straw hat, single strand faux pearl necklace, black panties, stockings and garter and a black lace-trimmed tulle petticoat.
Bill Blass Barbie Doll
With his signature dramatic flair and style, Bill Blass has created a gown just for Barbie that combines vibrant color and contrasting pattern. The gown is lined completely in bright fuchsia and has a fuchsia underskirt for added fullness.
I LOVE the Dior Barbie. Which one’s your pick?

Love this!
