Yes, you read that right. Mattel’s golden-locked diva is taking the streets to show off her edgy outfits through social media.
Through the Instagram @BarbieStyle, Barbie will be snapping through Fashion Week in all four cities: New York, London, Milan and Paris.

At first glance, I thought this was a somewhat silly idea. It’s one thing to create an Instagram account for a fictional character or persona, but Barbie isn’t REAL. She’s an inanimate object.
But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. So many girls and women considered Barbie the ultimate fashion icon. Remember that scene in “Never Been Kissed” when the popular girls all dressed up like different versions of Barbie (Malibu Barbie, Disco Barbie, etc.)?
This is a really fun, creative way to put Barbie back on the map and put a modern spin on her style and persona. I personally can’t wait to see what Instagram pics she snaps during Fashion Week this year!
