Barbie
Iconic blonde doll
Barbie is the trademarked name for Mattel's fashion doll, introduced in 1959 and among the best-selling toys in history.
The doll's idealized proportions have made her a cultural flashpoint—praised as aspirational or criticized as an unrealistic body standard.
Barbie extends to mean any woman perceived as artificially perfect, plastic, or overly feminine: She's such a Barbie.
The name is also a common nickname for Barbara.
