Nicks told USA Today, “When I found out, I was really catapulted back to when the first Barbies came out in 1959 and my mom bought me a Barbie. She collected dolls forever and I came into Fleetwood Mac a doll collector. When I saw Margot Robbie standing in that bathing suit [in the Barbie” movie], I was like, that’s my doll. All these years, that’s exactly who I wanted to be and look like – Margot Robbie in a bathing suit and high heels with my hair on my head.”
When asked how much input she had, Nicks revealed, “Mattel gave me a lot of platform to be creative and I jumped right on that platform. I said, ‘I’ll send you my original Rumours outfit, which is packed away, and we’ll dig it out and I’m going to get out the boots from the Italian shoemaker who is amazing and made all of my boots until he passed away’ And I sent it off to Mattel.”
Nicks also revealed that she was able to tweak some aspects of the doll’s appearance, “When Mattel first sent her to me, I told them her eyebrows are a little too arched and my eye makeup, if you go back to the 70s, it was very Twiggy with lots of eyelashes and that doe-eyed look. So I said you need to raise that dark eyeshadow above the fold in her eye and that will fix it. And I said we need to see a little bit of teeth. And then when I got her on June 22, I opened her up and I went, ‘She’s just perfect.’ This little Barbie is so precious and they helped her have my soul. If nobody else in the world got her but me, I’d almost be OK with that.”
