Barbie Rocks at 50

Barbie made her catwalk debut at New York Fashion Week at the fabulous age of 50!

Not many fifty year olds could hit the New York runway in such a fabulous way as Barbie, but the plastic doll proved to every fashionista at New York fashion week that you can still look fabulous when you turn the big 5-0.

Fifty-one designers including Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Donna Karen, Diane Von Furstenberg and Marchesa all made specially-designed outfits to celebrate Barbie’s birthday.

The showed opened with a visual biography of the Barbie story and then flashed into a heart monitor beeping into action, to show that the doll was coming alive.

Fifty-one models strutted down the catwalk in an array of costumes that included a pink, butterfly printed dress from Juicy Couture, a green prom dress from Betsy Johnson and a signature wrap dress from Diane Von Furstenburg.
