Mattel announced Tuesday it’s releasing a second Barbie doll modeled on Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks — this time from her solo career.
The Stevie Nicks Bella Donna Barbie doll marks the 43rd anniversary of the singer’s debut solo album, Bella Donna, which included the hits “Edge of Seventeen” and “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.”
The doll features Nicks in the iconic, flowing white dress she wore for the 1981 album cover, complete with a black top hat she’s known to sport and a microphone in hand.
Nicks said she’s honored to be working with Barbie again.
“I’m reminded of the courage it took to step into the unknown and discover my voice as a solo artist,” she said.
Nicks said the doll “symbolizes my musical journey and the strength that comes from staying true to yourself. My hope is that she inspires fans and especially young dreamers to take that leap of faith and believe in their limitless potential.”
The first Stevie Nicks Barbie doll portrayed her look from the 1977 Fleetwood Mac Rumours album cover. Mattel said that doll sold out less than 24 hours after its release.
Krista Berger, senior vice president of Barbie, said the success of the company’s first collaboration with Nicks made the doll one of the company’s “most cherished musician dolls.”
