Move over, Barbie—Bratz is taking on Paris Couture. Pat McGrath further cemented her icon status at John Galliano’s Margiela Artisanal show last week, transmuting models into something both hyper-human and sculpture-esque by way of glassy and near-porcelain skin. Now it seems that the scene-stealing effect has captured the attention of both represented camps, a.k.a. people and dolls alike.

Bratz—the dolls with a passion for fashion—won Instagram last night, sharing a two-part slider showcasing recreations of McGrath’s swoon-worthy beauty look (and a selection of Galliano’s fantastical 1930s-inspired detailing). Along with the preternaturally glowy skin (a mind-boggling synthetic effect that McGrath is revealing in a clever rollout), the Margiela Bratz came correct with washes of blue and green shadow, thin delineated brows, and high-gloss lips touched in metallics. The resulting moment furthered Galliano’s nexus of “characters and couture,” as noted by Vogue’s Sarah Mower. Leave it to McGrath to go so viral that even the inanimate among us are forced to take note.
