11 Best Barbie Costumes to Get All Dolled Up

Original Barbie Costume

This is the costume that kicked off it all! The original Mattel Barbie doll made her debut on March 9, 1959, wearing the iconic black and white striped swimsuit that’s still as chic as ever. Thanks to a collaboration between Barbie and Unique Vintage, you can now snag a life-sized replica of the original swimwear.

Featuring the same flattering sweetheart neckline and chevron print, this costume captures the classic style that started it all. Don’t forget to add the finishing touch with cat-eye sunglasses for that perfect retro vibe. If you’re looking for a little more coverage, simply throw on a cover-up to complete the look.
