Starry Night, But Make It Barbie
Nov 19, 2025
Mattel and MoMA just teamed up for one of the most delightful, and wholly unexpected collaborations of the year: turning some of the world’s most famous artworks into Barbies, Little People, Hot Wheels, and even a Magic 8 Ball. No breaking and entering into the Louvre needed here! Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” is interpreted into a ball gown on Barbie, Monet’s “Water Lilies” shrinks into the world of their Little People toy line, and Dalí’s melting clocks transform into a surreal mini figurine set. Even design lovers get their moment with a Hot Wheels replica of a Jaguar E-Type, plus an UNO deck that turns modern masterpieces into playable cards. It’s a perfect reminder that great design doesn’t have to sit behind glass!
