Barbie Introduces a More Diverse Line of Dolls in a Range of Body Types, Styles and Ethnicities

Barbie has announced a more diverse line of dolls in a range of body types, styles, and ethnicities to reflect the different kinds of people in the world. Curvy, petite, and tall body types now join the original Barbie, and each body type is available in a range of skin and hair colors as well as fashion styles and jobs.

Girls everywhere now have infinitely more ways to play out their stories and spark their imaginations through Barbie. Along with more overall diversity, we proudly add three new body types to our line. Here's a look at why we did this, and the team that made it possible. #TheDollEvolves

Were celebrating The Evolution of #Barbie with an evening of storytelling and conversation. Follow along at #TheDollEvolves.
