Barbie

Solo in the Spotlight, 1960 Barbie's nightclub-singer ensemble is pure grown-up glamour: a skin-tight black glitter knit gown that flows into a frill of tulle at the hem, a single red satin rose, long black gloves, a crystal bead necklace, a pink chiffon scarf and a silvery microphone stand. Sold from 1960 to 1964 as outfit number 982, it showed early that Barbie's wardrobe would chase adult evening fashion rather than play clothes. Margot Robbie wore a black strapless Schiaparelli gown to the 2023 film's Los Angeles premiere as a nod to it.
