Whatever was trending in the world, Barbie had it. Gloria Steinem says, “Pop culture shapes our ideas about what is normal, what our dreams can be, and what our roles are.” (Quote Brainy n.d.)What was in fashion in the 60s: Afro hair, bouffant hairdos, miniskirts, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. Examining Barbie in this era, she had the hairstyle, sophisticated glamorous look and was dressed in high fashion (Barbiemedia 2011). Barbie's fashion and occupations changed, adapting to what was popular at the time.

In the 1970s, Barbie reflected the alternative lifestyles of the 1970s with maxi skirts and long, straight hairstyles. Also in the 70s Barbie finally looked straight ahead instead of sideways and had an open smile. Hers was due to the feminist movement and women's emancipation. Barbie changed in the late 1970s with thicker hair, blue eye shadow, and pale pink lip gloss that were trendy during this time. (Barbiemedia
