๐ซ The History Behind the Icon ๐ซ
Launched in 1977, the Superstar Barbie series marked a bold new direction for Mattel. It was a complete reimagining of Barbie—ushering in a new face mold with fuller lips, sparkling eyes with rooted lashes, and a radiant smile that reflected the glitz and glamour of the disco era. This makeover wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was Barbie stepping into the limelight as a modern, confident woman of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. She was a cultural reset—channeling movie star charisma, runway flair, and empowering girls to imagine themselves as stars of their own lives.
