Audrey Hepburn Barbie Dolls
Audrey Hepburn was known for her timeless beauty, elegance, and contributions to the film industry, and these particular Barbie dolls pay homage to her legacy.
The dolls are a tribute to the actress’ famous films, with one released in 1998. It was her character Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, who wears a similar Givenchy dress with her signature pearls and elbow-length gloves—one of the film’s most famous fashion moments.
