Beloved Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks is being immortalised as a part of Mattel’s Signature Music series.
The 75-year-old star will become a collector’s edition Barbie doll featuring her iconic 1970s style.
The doll will be dressed in a beguiling black dress with a velvety wrap bodice, flowing chiffon statement sleeves, and a layered skirt inspired by the Rumours album cover.
She will also be holding a tambourine, and sporting her signature golden moon necklace, and tall black boots, complete with flowy blonde hair, red nails, and a smoky eye look.
The Stevie Nicks Barbie, which will be on sale for $55 (£45), will come with a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity, too.
The exciting news was revealed by the Queen of Rock and Roll herself on Sunday, October 1. During her concert at New York’s Madison Square Gardens, the star said: “I have something very exciting to share with you a few hours before the rest of the world.”
She then revealed that she had been approached by Mattel a year ago, but had a lot of hesitations about going ahead with it at the start
“I was very overwhelmed. Will she be like me? Will she have my spirit? Will she have my heart?”, she explained.
But, eventually, she decided to say yes and is very happy with how her Barbie has turned out. “When I look at her I see my 27-year-old self,” she said. “I am her and she is me.”
Talking to USA Today about the design stages, the singer shared: “When Mattel first sent her to me, I told them her eyebrows are a little too arched and my eye makeup, if you go back to the Seventies, it was very Twiggy with lots of eyelashes and that doe-eyed look.
“So I said you need to raise that dark eyeshadow above the fold in her eye and that will fix it. And I said we need to see a little bit of teeth.
“And then when I got her on June 22, I opened her up and I went, ‘She’s just perfect.’ This little Barbie is so precious and they helped her have my soul. If nobody else in the world got her but me, I’d almost be OK with that.”
