Barbie has gone undercover.
The best-selling doll has worn all sorts of outfits — from bathing suits to business suits.
Now Barbie is wearing a burkha.
The iconic plaything sports traditional Islamic dress for a Sotheby’s auction benefiting Save the Children.
Burkha Barbie is among more than 500 of the dolls exhibited by Italian designer Eliana Lorena at the Salone dei Cinquecento, in Florence, Italy, according to the Daily Mail.
Mattel, the maker of the Barbie, which turned 50 this year, backs the show, the Daily Mail noted.
Rosie Shannon, of Save the Children, told the paper she was “delighted Sotheby’s and the designer chose to auction the burka Barbie dolls for our charity.”
