Barbie

Superstar Barbie, 1977 If you picture Barbie as pink, sparkly showbiz glamour, this is largely the doll responsible. Superstar Barbie arrived at the height of disco with long flowing hair, a dazzling smile and glamorous evening styling made for a night out, and Mattel credits her with defining the disco-glam spirit. Where Malibu Barbie was casual, she pointed the doll back towards red-carpet dressing, the direction Barbie's look would take through the 1980s.
