Bloch is bringing Barbie to the studio! To honor the 25th anniversary of Barbie in the Nutcracker, and to celebrate the upcoming reimagined Barbie in the Nutcracker Netflix special, the dancewear company is releasing a new apparel and accessories line with Mattel.
Littles can hit the stage with their best ballerina friends or practice their pirouettes at home in the limited-edition Barbie x Bloch collection, which includes pieces featuring prints, patterns, and designs inspired by Barbie’s roles in both the classic 2001 film and the new special.

Kids can twirl, leap, and plié in a pink tutu dress, leg warmers, a black or pink mesh ballet skirt, and a pink wrap top. Young dancers will recognize key icons from Barbie in the Nutcracker on their dancewear, including Clara’s locket, pointe shoes, ribbons, and more.
Ballerinas can keep their feet warm with Barbie-themed Bloch Booties or travel to the studio and competitions in a sweatshirt and T-shirts. The collection also includes accessories to help your littles keep their dance pieces organized, such as a large duffle bag, makeup bags, and a drawstring bag inspired by Tchaikovsky’s music and Barbie’s moves. Tiny dancers can accessorize their dance bags with a pointe shoe handbag charm and stay hydrated with the collection’s water bottle offerings.
Older ballerinas can rond de jambe at rehearsal in Barbie-approved dancewear as well; The Ladies’ range includes a black slouch T-shirt, a sweatshirt, and more with similar prints and graphics. The full collection is designed for Barbie fans — and dancers — of all ages, whether you grew up watching the original movie or are introducing your kids to the animated adventures with the new special.
The collection will be available next month at Bloch stores, select Bloch retailers, and online at blochworld.com. While the new Barbie in the Nutcracker special doesn’t premiere on Netflix until Nov.1, the 2001 animated film is available to watch now. Families can also supplement their streaming (and dancing) with Mattel’s new Clara and Sugar Plum Fairy dolls between viewings and real-life rehearsals.
