If you ever played fashion shows with your Barbies when you were little, the scenes at the Moschino Spring 2015 runway would be very familiar.
Jeremy Scott transformed his models into real-life Barbies, complete with blonde wigs, pink makeup, and frilly dresses. The opening model sported the exact outfit of the Moschino doll gifted to front-row attendees, while others embodied humanized versions of Tuxedo Barbie, Golden Dream Barbie, and ’80s Fashion Barbie.
As for the shoes, they could only have been mules because what other shoe style fits Barbie’s eternally arched feet the most? They were even made of matte leather, which gave the mules a molded plastic appearance. Check them all out below.

Celebrity attendees graced the front row, including Bella Thorne, fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni, and Leigh Lezark, who was an odd sight as she was not dressed in her usual black duds.

It was McDonald’s last year, and then it’s Barbie this year. You can call Jeremy Scott’s design aesthetic kitschy, trashy, or too literal, but you can’t deny that he knows how to excite.
