Mattel - Barbie doll “I Can Be... President” – The White House Project – 2012 – USA - U.S.

Released in 2012, this Barbie is part of the “I Can Be…” series, which celebrates women in professions and roles of power. Produced in collaboration with The White House Project, an American organization promoting female representation in politics, it symbolizes the ambition and confidence of modern women.

Barbie presents herself here as a candidate for President of the United States, wearing a bright pink suit with a jacket adorned with red, white, and blue tricolor ruffles—the colors of the American flag. She wears her “President B Party” campaign button and holds a matching campaign lectern. The slogan on the box, “Stands on her own—literally,” refers to the doll’s ability to stand unsupported, but also to her symbolic independence.

This edition has become a benchmark for themed Barbie collectors, representing both a fashion icon and a message of female empowerment.
