Stevie Nicks Barbie: Mattel releases doll inspired by the 70’s pop star

Stevie Nicks is the latest celebrity to be honored with her own Barbie doll, a mini manifestation of her one-of-a-kind, witchy aesthetic that she unveiled at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Nicks, 75, a singer-songwriter best known for her work with the band Fleetwood Mac, inspired a new doll in the Barbie Music Series released Monday.

Nicks’ era from the late ‘70s is channeled in the $55 doll, clad in a flowing black dress and cape which she paired with matching-color platform heel boots.

It also comes with a streamers-adorned tambourine clutched on the Barbie’s hand.

Barbie has previously released dolls in the likeness of Tina Turner, Elton John, Gloria Estefan, David Bowie and other music artists.

Nicks announced her Barbie at her concert Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York.

“I have been living in my own Barbie Universe since March,” the singer told Today. “And I can honestly say that this little person makes me happy. And that’s the thing I love about her the most. I can be in the worst, worst mood, and I walk in and see her — she’s like my happy pill. I instantly feel better. I have so many reasons to love her.”

Nicks told USA Today that the doll’s designers managed to capture her “soul.”

The singer says she sent Mattel the original outfit — a dreamy velvet and silk chiffon frock with angel sleeves and a shredded hemline — straight from her “vault.” And, rather than the Rumours ballet shoes, she sent along a pair of boots made by famed shoemaker Pasquale di Fabrizio.

“I said, ‘If you can copy those boots, Mattel, and copy this outfit, we are home free,’” Nicks recalls.
