With her piercing blue eyes and long blonde hair, it must have been child’s play turning Claudia Schiffer into her very own Barbie doll.
Which is exactly what Mattel has done – dressing the doll up in one of the German supermodel’s iconic runway outfits.
The Barbie, which is now on sale, wears the turquoise gown Ms Schiffer, 53, wore on the catwalk of the 1994 Fall/Winter Atelier Versace show.
Ms Schiffer has been photographed for the cover of Vogue 16 times and has modelled for high-end fashion labels since the height of her fame in the 1990s.
‘My earliest memories are playing with Barbie and wishing I could be just like her’, she said.
