Barbie collectors, you'll be happy to hear that [Mattel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/65th-anniversary-barbie-signature-doll-collection) is releasing another Grace Kelly-inspired doll, the Grace Kelly 'Rear Window' Barbie.

Last year, the toy company launched three [collectible dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-game-collectibles) -- 'To Catch a Thief” Barbie, Grace Kelly Romance Barbie and Grace Kelly Bride Barbie -- inspired by Grace Kelly's style and her films. Now, it is releasing a limited edition Grace Kelly 'Rear Window' Barbie, which is based on Kelly's 1954 film 'Rear Window.' In the film, Kelly plays a fashion consultant whose boyfriend witnesses a murder.

Retailing for $57.99, the Grace Kelly 'Rear Window' Barbie wears a dress that looks like the one the actress wore in the film. It features a gorgeous black and white full-skirted dress, strappy black heels, white gloves, a delicate shawl and a pretty pearl necklace.
