Go Gaga Over Mattel's New Goddess of the Galaxy Barbie Doll

While Mattel has yet to come out with an Official Lady Gaga Barbie Doll, their newest Gold Label Collector doll, The Goddess of The Galaxy Barbie is as close as you're gonna get until they do.



Designed by Bill Greening, this new collectible Barbie sports galactic glamour in the form of a molded metallic corset embellished with fuchsia "jewels" above a layered underskirt of shimmering fabric, a dramatic pinstripe cape, and silvery forearm and leg cuffs. Silvery rings with "jeweled" accents orbit an up-do with twisted platinum braids, and her dramatic face paint features ultra long, rooted, feathered lashes. Her thigh-high platform boots would no doubt be coveted by Lady Gaga herself.

The $100 Direct Exclusive Barbie Collector doll is only available in the US and 4,200 were made. She is currently sold out but you can find some of them here on ebay.

12 Barbie Basics Get Glammed Up By Famous Fashion Designers.

Mattel recently introduced the Barbie Basics doll collection; 12 different Barbie® dolls, each dressed 'down' in a different, but all black, dress. Simply named model no.1, model no.2 and so on, the hair, skin, eye color, features and stances vary with each doll. You can then purchase "look" sets that include accessories for the dolls.




To launch this new collection, Mattel had 12 top CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) fashion and accessory designers dress the dolls in their own inimitable style, as in model no. 8 shown below left and then as styled by Alexis Bittar, below right.



The styled, dressed and accessorized dolls will then be auctioned on ebay with proceeds benefiting the CFDA. The auction goes live on January 28 (tomorrow) at 10pm EST and runs through February 7. To bid, visit the ebay auction here.
