The legendary Stevie Nicks is the latest celebrity to be officially honored with her own Barbie doll – and it’s already sold out in less than 24 hours. Mattel posted on social media: “Soulful stage presence Spellbinding style With a career that’s touched generations of music lovers, @StevieNicks is the latest legend to be celebrated as part of the Barbie Music Series, bringing her inspiring story and chart-topping career to artists and audiences of all ages. #Barbie #YouCanBeAnything”
Nicks, 75 inspired her new doll as part of Mattel’s Music Collector Series Barbie doll collection. Barbie has previously released dolls in the likeness of Tina Turner, Elton John, Gloria Estefan, David Bowie and other music artists. The doll is inspired by Nicks’ look on the 1977 Fleetwood Mac “Rumours” album cover: a long black dress with draped sleeves and black shoes. It has Nicks’ recognizable bangs, wears a moon pendant and carries a tambourine with flowing ribbons, which Mattel calls ‘a bewitching look that emulates her spellbinding style.’
Mattel said in a statement: “As the lead singer of Fleetwood Mac and a critically acclaimed, chart-topping solo act, Stevie Nicks has been a major influence and source of inspiration and adoration for artists and audiences around the world, especially to women in the rock and roll industry. Known for her captivating stage presence and signature style, she has left an indelible imprint on the worldwide music industry.”
Nicks wrote on X, (previously known as Twitter): “My Stevie @Barbie has been with me now for several months. When Mattel came to me asking if I would like to have a Barbie made in the “Rumours” cover style I was very overwhelmed. Of course I questioned “would she look like me? Would she have my spirit? Would she have my heart…” When I look at her, I see my 27 year old self~ All the memories of walking out on a big stage in that black outfit and those gorgeous boots come rushing back~ and then I see myself now in her face. What we have been through since 1975~ the battles we have fought, the lessons we have learned~ together. I am her and she is me. She absolutely has my heart. Thank you Mattel for working with me to make Stevie Barbie so pretty and so soulful and so real; she means the world to me!”
