Entrepreneur Barbie is hitting the shelves, and she’s been designed by a team of ‘Chief Inspirational Officers’, eight businesswomen including CEOs and founders of organisations.

Entrepreneur Barbie will sport the same blonde locks and heels we’ve long associated with the doll, but her outfit of choice will be a pink business dress with black patent belt.

As every girl who played with her Barbies will remember – it was ALL about the accessories. Entrepreneur Barbie will come complete with handbag, iphone, business report and a pink wallet.

Speaking at the launch of the newest doll to hit the shelves, Mattel spokesperson Michelle Chidoni said:

“We always try to make career Barbie a reflection of the times.

“Women entrepreneurs are more prevalent now and they’re growing in number. It’s a great way to encourage girls to also learn about this role.”

As well as the latest edition of our favourite doll, Mattel also revealed plans to partner with the Girl Scouts to create video stories of successful female entrepreneurs.
