Having gone through the Nutcrackers, they have moved on to Shakespeare's heroines. Barbie as Juliet is simply gorgeous. The black haired Barbie's are very rare, so this is an extra plus to collectors. Romantic and perfectly lovely, the dolls portrays the poignancy of Juliet's star-crossed love.

The costume has a fitted bodice. The skirt is overlaid with gold chiffon. Golden cording also highlights the bodice and sleeves. It's repeated with a gold ribbon through her long dark hair. Delicate pink "toe" shoes complete the classic costume.

As a former ballet dancers, I appreciate the care they are using in fashioning the toes shoes to look real.

Gorgeous doll, a must for those collecting the ballerinas, a must for those seeking the rare black haired ones.

Having been a Barbie Doll Collector for 10 years now, I cannot imagine anyone seeing this doll and not believing that finally Mattel has gone back to the roots of feminine beauty in its purest form. She doesn't have the glamour of Mackie's Goddess of the Arctic or the sexy Diva Collection.... but what this doll does have is a sense of innocence and a hauntingly angelic face. The photographs simply do not do her proper justice. I purchased 2 after I personally saw her: the face of an angel, the wonderfully feminine gown, and gorgeous deep brown hair make her worth purchasing

I've never seen such a natural looking faced Barbie like this. She has so natural and pure angelic face. Real eyelashes is the first thing I saw in a barbie. You will love her..
