Barbie celebrates Día De Muertos with a collaboration featuring world-renowned Mexican fashion designer Benito Santos. Barbie doll’s statuesque black dress is inspired by the rich cultural tradition of charro suits. Ornate white and crimson embroidery unfurl across the dramatic silhouette of the gown, including its layered mermaid hem. The outfit is accentuated by a cropped bolero jacket, red bow tie, and holiday-inspired headpiece.
