Just when you thought it was the summer of the brat, everyone’s favorite doll is back to paint the town pink with the new Barbie x Stanley collaboration. The limited-edition collection embraces Barbie’s iconic glamor through the decades, with eight new and exciting designs of the viral cup released daily from September 16 to 20 — and there’s even a Quencher for Ken.
Consider the new collection Barbie’s “Eras Tour” in cup form. In honor of the 65th anniversary of the do-it-all doll, the nostalgic collaboration tracks her signature style through each decade. Starting from the very beginning, the 1959 Original Quencher comes dressed in Barbie’s first outfit ever (which you may recognize from last summer’s “Barbie” film), referencing her black and white chevron swimsuit, with blue-tinted cat-eye sunglasses, and hot pink accents. The vibrant orange ’60s Twist ‘N Turn Quencher pays homage to the Barbie doll of the same name, while the pink and purple ’70s Superstar Quencher dazzles with glitzy metallic stars.

Barbie got busy in the ’80s, so Stanley created four cups in tribute. The shimmery ’80s Peaches ‘N Cream Quencher comes adorned in sweet blossoms inspired by the OG doll’s dress, while the ’80s Rockers Quencher and ’80s Dynamite Quencher reference Barbie’s rock and roll and disco eras with retro prints and bold graphics. And, if you have a Ken in your life, you can grab him a Quencher, too. The ’80s Western Ken Quencher features the contrast stitching print and silver buckle he wore back in the day — and serves major “Mojo Dojo Casa House” vibes.
All the new Barbie x Stanley Quenchers are available in the 40 oz tumbler, except for the Icon Quencer, an all-pink, iridescent cup that dons the doll’s iconic signature, also available in the 30 oz size. Each features the same double-wall vacuum insulation and convenient cupholder compatibility as the beloved tumblers, designed with recycled stainless steel and BPA-free plastic. The hype for the new collab is already alive on TikTok. The term “Stanley x Barbie” has already wracked up over 32 million videos with users rejoicing over the news and sharing their most-wanted “Barbie Dream cup” ahead of the launch.
These sure-to-sell-out collectors’ Quenchers come on the heels of Stanley’s buzzy collaboration with LoveShackFancy, which dropped just days ago and is almost entirely out of stock. In fact, girly pink Stanley Quenchers tend to be top sellers. The term “pink Stanley cup” has a hefty TikTok fanbase amounting to over 120 million posts, and the cult following prompted the brand to both re-issue the limited edition “Pink Parade” Quencher and introduce a new “Peony” shade last May.
The Barbie x Stanley collection kicks off on September 16 with both sizes of the Barbie Icon, followed by two new decade designs dropping each day through September 20. To make sure you’re first in line to snag your cup, you can sign up for release notifications right now at Stanley.com. Trust us, these iconic Quenchers won’t stay in stock for long.
