Viktor&Rolf x Disney Collector Cinderella Doll is a limited-edition collectible produced by Mattel in collaboration with Disney and the Dutch fashion house Viktor&Rolf, reinterpreting Cinderella through a high-fashion lens. The 12-inch doll is inspired by Viktor&Rolf’s Spring/Summer 2019 Haute Couture “Fashion Statements” collection, combining iconic elements of the classic Disney character with contemporary couture design.
The doll is dressed in layered mesh tulle with a taffeta underdress, sparkling slippers, and a black ribbon choker, and includes details such as a miniature smartphone frozen at 11:59 p.m. and a custom doll stand in premium packaging that nods to the fashion house’s visual identity.
The collectible features nine points of articulation for dynamic posing and rooted lashes with a styled half-up bun hairstyle. Accessories include a small phone purse with chain and charm, a molded pillow component, and removable shoes that complement the couture outfit.
