Barbie Day: an icon inspiring generations for 66 years

On March 9, 1959, the first Barbie was introduced to the world: a zebra-striped swimsuit, blonde or dark hair, and a bold vision of the future. 66 years later, Barbie remains one of the most iconic and enduring brands in the toy industry.

In 2026, Barbie turns 66 and Ken 65, confirming their ability to evolve alongside society. Over time, Barbie has embodied more than 200 careers – from veterinarian and pediatrician to astronaut, paleontologist, pop singer, teacher, National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing driver and even a crew member of Star Trek.

This diversity has made Barbie an aspirational role model, encouraging girls aged 3–11 to imagine their future without limits.
