Happy birthday, Barbie! Today, the world's most famous doll is 57 (she was introduced at the New York Toy Fair on March 9th, 1959). And if you love Barbie as much as we do at Glamour HQ, you'll probably want to book a ticket to Montréal to see the all-new Barbie EXPO Museum featuring more than 1,000 different Barbies. *Cue freak-out.* Each Barbie is incredibly unique and will show off a different style, size, and skin color to celebrate Barbie's diversity. Many collectors and designers, such as Christian Dior, Zac Posen, and Vera Wang donated their own dolls from all around the world to ensure a top-notch display. Take a look at 10 of our favorite Barbies from the collection:
The Romanticist Barbie by Vera Wang
Blond Diamond Barbie by The Blonds
Juicy Couture Barbie
And another Juicy Couture Barbie because, hi puppy!
Fantasy Goddess of Africa Barbie by Bob Mackie
Preferably Pink Barbie (Chanel vibes, anyone?)
Mila Barbie (Aka Babushka Barbie)
Circus Barbie by Bob Mackie
Publicity Tour Barbie
Delphine Barbie
The Barbie Expo is permanent and offers free admission, though donations are accepted and will go towards Make-A-Wish Québec.
Watch the evolution of Barbie.
