McDonald’s Barbies debuted in the summer of 1991. The variety of Barbies set a precedent for the next several years. Some Barbies wore short dresses, bathing suits, or casual clothes, while others wore fancy long dresses (one of which was a bride). There were always a few Barbie friends and/or non-white Barbies included in the mix to represent diversity. The Barbies’ clothes were obviously reflective of the styles of the era.
