Barbie is 50 today. Shocker. She hasn’t aged a bit. With no wrinkles, a full head of golden blonde locks and that perfect figure she is still capable of turning heads. She’s ditched Ken and is dating Blaine and will celebrate her new age in style. It is her ability to move with the times that has allowed the heroine to stay at the top. In the five decades since launching, the fashionista has continued to evolve, from the pill box hats of the 1960's, to the sun-kissed Malibu Barbie of the 70's, and the big hair of the 80's, becoming the top selling doll of all-time.
When it comes to fashion, Barbie, like many of us, has made many mistakes, but when she did get it right she could have walked down catwalks with the best of them. In this picture, the 50th anniversary doll, Barbie works Summer 09 chic at its best. Nude meets metallics in a high glamour, high impact way that only she could get away with at this milestone. We say Barbie ‘You go girl!’
