55th Anniversary Christie's Fashion

Waiting to be dressed, an auburn-haired ponytail Barbie clone arrived nude in February 2026.

In 2025, I  began purchasing #1 Barbie-ish clones from China. The last one arrived in February 2026. Sold nude, this auburn-haired ponytail doll is a duplicate of another one that I dressed in the reproduction Barbie Roman Holiday fashion. I had planned to do the same with this doll by dressing her in a fashion that I received as a birthday gift in 2018. That plan changed after my duplicate 55th Anniversary Christie's unboxing. 

Barbie Clone Gets Dressed in 55th Anniversary Christie's Ensemble

The orange wet-look dress fits her well. Her legs are thinner than 55th Anniversary Christie's, which leaves leg room in the boot legs, but they fit well enough.

She wears Christie's "C" letter necklace. In her case, the "C" stands for clone. I added different gold drop earrings because Christie's earrings are glued on.

The floor-length cover-up and gold lamé belt complete this look, and Miss Clone struck a pose.

She assumed another solo pose.

Miss Clone and Christie, who now wears Barbie Basics Model 03's black halter dress and black knee-high boots, posed for this final photo.

They both wear their new clothes well. 

I used AI to deepen Christie's lip color, which I will eventually paint in a similar way.
