Serena van der Woodsen would make a great Barbie doll. All of the lovely ladies from the show would make a perfect Barbie doll -- their sense of style alone is a perfect fit for the iconic doll. The Barbie doll doesn't look exactly like a Blake Lively Barbie but it does resemble her on the red carpet, specifically in one dress. Fashion designer Zuhair Murad is recreating one of his famous red carpet looks for the new Barbie. She looks extremely stunning with her updo hairstyle and added jewelry charm. In 2012, Blake wore the same dress to a Los Angeles premiere of the film 'Savages.' The old [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-beauty-icon-lipsticks) glamour look will never get old. It is a timeless look that appeals and stuns on almost anyone, plastic or real. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Celebrity Barbie Dolls:** Creating Barbie dolls based on real-life celebrities presents a new opportunity for toy manufacturers to tap into the celebrity fan market. - **Fashion Collaborations:** Collaborating with fashion designers to create miniature versions of their designs on Barbie dolls offers a new avenue for designers to promote their brand and increase sales. - **Retro Fashion:** Reviving classic, glamorous styles from the golden age of Hollywood presents an opportunity for fashion designers to differentiate themselves from the current minimalist trend and appeal to consumers who crave a touch of luxury. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Manufacturing:** Using real-life celebrities as inspiration for Barbie dolls presents a new opportunity for the toy manufacturing industry to create unique and highly sought-after dolls for collectors. - **Fashion Design:** Collaborating with Barbie to create miniature versions of their designs presents a new marketing opportunity for fashion designers to showcase their brand and reach a wider audience. - **Vintage Fashion:** Reviving classic, glamorous styles from the golden age of Hollywood presents an opportunity for vintage fashion shops and designers to appeal to consumers who crave a touch of luxury and nostalgia in their clothing choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Life-Sized Doll Dreamhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbies-dreamhouse.md) - [Doll-Themed Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-barbie-movie.md) - [Fashion Legend Barbie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claudia-schiffer-barbie.md) - [Inspiring Role Model Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-role-models.md) - [Late Singer-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aaliyah-barbie.md) - [Glamorous Collector Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-by-american-girl.md) - [Empowering Movie Industry Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/career-of-the-year-barbie.md) - [Film-Resembling Mermaid Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-mermaid-doll.md) - [Representation-Focused Toy Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laverne-cox-1.md)
