As if Princess Charlene didn't have big enough shoes to fill, Mattel has gone and immortalized her legendary mother-in-law as a Barbie.
Women's Wear Daily announced Tuesday that as part of the Barbie Collector series, Mattel will create three collectible Grace Kelly dolls, each wearing one of the Princess of Monaco's iconic outfits.
Grace Kelly The Bride Doll, already available online for $175, features Kelly's famous long-sleeve white gown from her wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco, complete with a lace veil, pearl earrings and a small prayer book in hand.
For a more casual Grace, Grace Kelly The Romance Doll (available in October) has the princess wearing the black floral-print dress, nipped in at the (very teeny) waist and topped off with a chic black fascinator. It's the dress, history has it, that Kelly wore at the 1955 Cannes Film Festival when she met Prince Rainier -- hence the "romance" of the outfit.
And for those movie fans out there, WWD writes, there is the "To Catch a Thief" Barbie now on sale for $34.95, featuring the famous light blue gown and chiffon stole that Kelly's character wore in the Alfred Hitchcock film to woo Cary Grant.
