She still looks pretty damn good...

So Barbie is 50. Yes, 50 years old. Her half-century birthday was celebrated during New York Fashion Week with a runway show with designs made especially for the perennially fab-looking doll. See the entire show here.

Rachel Roy's black-and white chevron-patterned maillot was inspired after the first Barbie in 1959.
