We’re always here for some #blackgirlmagic news and today’s comes courtesy of Misty Copeland! The prima ballerina just released news that she now has her own Barbie Doll:
“I always dreamed of becoming an ABT ballerina and through Barbie I was able to play out those dreams early on,” said Misty of the momentous occasion. “It’s an honor to be able to inspire the next generation of kids with my very own Barbie doll.”
The doll’s beautifully bold costume was inspired by Misty’s first ABT principal role in The Firebird. She will be reprising that role on on May 18th and 19th as part of the company’s Spring season at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.
“As a brand, we want to honor women, like Misty, who are inspiring the next generation of girls to live out their dreams,” says Barbie Senior Vice President Lisa McKnight. “We know role play often leads to real ‘play’ in life and we’re thrilled to celebrate Misty with her very own doll.”
Misty’s doll is a part of Barbie’s Sheroes program: the same that helped launch dolls for Ava Duvernay and Zendaya Coleman.

“I have my own fashion line called Bo$$ Mentality so I do hand make a lot of my own clothing, that always makes things interesting.”
“I’m just a young lady who loves fashion and the color blue!”
“Being fashion bombshell of the day would make me so happy, perhaps it will allow us fashionistas to bounce ideas off of each other and explore new creative combinations!”

Taylor Swift has been painting the town red lately, especially since premiering her bleach-blonde bob. Spotted while out and about in New York City last night, the pop star channeled her inner 90’s grunge girl in a Louis Vuitton prefall 2016 plaid dress.
Whether or not you’d like to admit it, grunge in fashion is becoming mainstream again, much to Nicolas Ghesquière’s delight. This dress, in particular, features a striking tartan plaid pattern in black, white, and thin lines of red. The hemline, cut on a bias, adds shape to what could’ve been a frock with a dowdy silhouette. And a slight peak at the lining adds a bit more flair to what could be perceived to be an overwhelming pattern. Sans shiny leather opera gloves and the huge tote as seen on the model, Swift opted for a small box clutch and hiking boots from the house’s fall 2016 collection.
A blood red lip sealed the deal on this relaxed, but hot look from Taylor. The dress isn’t available in stores yet: one of the perks of being a megastar. But you can take a look at the entire prefall collection here. With all this Louis Vuitton, though, do you think this could be a hint at who’s designing her Met Gala dress for tonight’s event? Hmm…
What say you to Taylor Swift’s look?
