Is it couture déjà vu — or did Barbie just outshine Valentino in miniature?

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the Palm Beach Coral Barbie Silkstone Doll from the Barbie Fashion Model Collection and explore a jaw-dropping resemblance to a vintage Valentino coral coatdress. From the raised beadwork to the crisp ivory silhouette, this 1:6 fashion doll is giving runway drama with a side ponytail and unapologetic elegance.

You’ll see:
• A full fashion breakdown of the Palm Beach Coral doll's outfit
• Side-by-side comparisons with a 1960s Valentino couture look
• Style verdicts from “Couture Echo” to “Fashion Twin”
• A playful voiceover with couture commentary and community prompts

Think it’s just a stylish coincidence? Or the boldest bead-for-brushstroke copy-paste in doll history?
Drop your verdict in the comments — no design degree required.
