David Bowie Barbie Doll 2 – Life On Mars?
This Barbie doll models an authentic replica of the bespoke powder-blue suit Bowie wore in the “Life on Mars?” music video, including a foil-printed pin-stripe shirt, statement tie, and platform shoes. Her hairstyle and bold blue eyeshadow are inspired by Bowie’s ‘70s glam era look.
Bowie was a one-man cultural phenomenon for his contributions to music, art, fashion, and film. Our second tribute doll celebrates the 50th anniversary of his classic Hunky Dory, the iconic “Life on Mars?” video, and an outfit forever associated with him.
Designer Linda Kyaw-Merschon and her team re-created this legendary moment in Bowie’s history. “It’s a tribute to Bowie – his outfit, his makeup, his features – to emulate his essence and make sure it looked like Barbie, but as Bowie,” Linda says.
There is a strict limit on how many of these Mattel Bowie Barbies you can purchase. It’s 2. Pick up this wonderful doll at Entertainment Earth here.
